Natural selection on traits and trait plasticity in Arabidopsis thaliana varies across competitive environments
Abstract Interspecific competition reduces resource availability and can affect evolution. We quantified multivariate selection in the presence and absence of strong interspecific competition using a greenhouse experiment with 35 natural accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana. We assessed selection on n...
