Speeding up microevolution: the effects of increasing temperature on selection and genetic variance in a wild bird population.

The amount of genetic variance underlying a phenotypic trait and the strength of selection acting on that trait are two key parameters that determine any evolutionary response to selection. Despite substantial evidence that, in natural populations, both parameters may vary across environmental condi...
