A cline within an ecotype of the yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus

A key goal of evolutionary biologists is to understand how and why adaptive genetic variation is partitioned within species. In the yellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus (syn. Erythranthe guttata), coastal perennial populations collectively constitute a single genetically and morphologically differentiated ecotype. While the distinctiveness of the coastal ecotype has now been well documented, there is also variation in environmental factors across the range of the coastal ecotype that could drive differentiation among its component populations in a more continuous way. Based on previous observations of a potential cline within this ecotype, we quantified plant height across coastal perennial accessions from 69 total populations in two greenhouse common garden experiments. To evaluate possible environmental factors driving the relationship between plant height and latitude, we regressed height against multiple climatic factors, including temperature, precipitation, and coastal wind speed..., , , # A cline within an ecotype of the yellow monkeyflower, *Mimulus guttatus*

进化生物学家的核心目标之一，是阐明适应性遗传变异在物种内部的分布模式及其形成机制。以黄色猴面花（*Mimulus guttatus*，异名*Erythranthe guttata*）为例，其海岸多年生种群共同构成了一个遗传与形态上均存在分化的生态型。尽管该海岸生态型的独特性已有充分研究，但在其分布范围内，环境因子仍存在梯度变化，这可能以更为连续的方式推动其内部各组成种群产生分化。基于此前在该生态型内发现潜在渐变群的观察结果，我们开展了两项温室同质园实验，对来自总计69个海岸多年生种群的材料的株高进行了量化分析。为探究驱动株高与纬度之间关联的潜在环境因子，我们以株高为因变量，对温度、降水、海岸风速等多种气候因子进行了回归分析……
