Evolutionary ecological study of the pace-of-life syndrome in Ischnura damselflies. KU Leuven
To understand and predict patterns in trait variation along environmental gradients and in response to stressors, the integration of traits into suites of correlated traits or ‘syndromes’ has received increasing attention. Because of the presence of such syndromes, the plastic and evolutionary responses of organisms to selection pressures involve coordinated changes in many traits. A promising concept for the integration of traits is the ...
