Adaptive divergence vs. environmental plasticity: tracing local genetic adaptation of metamorphosis traits in salamanders

In order to assess the significance of local adaptation relative to environmental plasticity on the evolution of life history traits, we analysed the possible genetic basis of differences between pond‐ and stream‐breeding fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) in Germany. These salamanders typical...
