ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecocom.2012.09.005 | Abstract: | Phenotype-environment correlations can be caused by various overlapping ecological processes (e.g. differential mortality, phenotypic plasticity and adaptation) operating over a range of spatial and temporal scales. However, multi-scale studies of the relationship between specific traits and environmental variables are rare, even though such a holistic view may have greater predictive value than the more typical single-scale observations. Here, we investigate the relationship between cryptic colouration and environmental characteristics at a range of spatial scales for the shore crab (Carcinus maenas L.), a common intertidal species. Using existing data sets at macro-scale (10,000sm2) and meso-scale (100sm2) and previously unpublished data at a micro-scale ( | Source Title: | Ecological Complexity | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/92859 | ISSN: | 1476945X | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ecocom.2012.09.005 |
