Environment-Dependent Genotype-Phenotype Associations in Avian Breeding Time

Environment-Dependent Genotype-Phenotype Associations in Avian Breeding Time

Understanding how genes shape phenotypes is essential to assess the evolutionary potential of a trait. Identifying the genes underlying quantitative behavioral or life-history traits has, however, proven to be a major challenge. The majority of these traits are phenotypically plastic and different p...
