Concepts

When a genotype produces different phenotypes under differing environmental conditions

Consumption of plant material by animals, measured as browse occurrence on host plants

The ability of organisms to adjust to changing climatic conditions through genetic, phenotypic, or behavioral changes

The process by which traits influence fitness, measured through directional and quadratic selection differentials relating trait values to reproductive success

Movement of genes between populations through migration and reproduction

Selection that maintains multiple alleles in a population at frequencies above those expected from mutation alone

The mechanism by which organisms measure day and night length to regulate seasonal activities like diapause
