UCTV Seminars

description:

Very few studies in natural populations have complete life-course information on individuals. This seminar reports on the results of an 11 year field study with Plantago lanceolata. It describes a multi-cohort, quantitative genetic, design where over 23,000 individuals were followed from germination to death. The results show that phenotypic variation in mortality rates, lifespan, and reproduction are influenced by the environment, genetics, cohort and age of individuals.
