Spatial, social and environmental drivers of the timing of reproduction in the wild

Abstract:

Phenotypic variation provides the raw material needed for natural selection, and therefore identifying what causes and maintains this variation is important for understanding ecological and evolutionary processes. Behavioural timing traits, such as when an individual begins breeding during the reproductive season (often referred to as phenology), often show continuous variation between individuals within populations. Like any quantitative trait, this variation is influenced by both genetic an...
