Oceanic salt spray and herbivore pressure contribute to local adaptation of coastal perennial and inland annual ecotypes of the Seep Monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus)
Damian Popovic, David B. Lowry
This study shows that salt spray and herbivory, not soil water availability, drive local adaptation in coastal ecotypes of Mimulus guttatus, while inland adaptation is primarily influenced by soil water availability.
