Selection Experiments as a Tool in Evolutionary and Comparative Physiology: Insights into Complex Traits-an Introduction to the Symposium1

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Support for the organization of this symposium was provided by grants from the National Science Foundation grant (IBN-0331571), the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (J.G.S. and T.G.) and SD EPSCoR Grant No. 0091948 (J.G.S.). We also extend our gratitude to the individuals who participated in this symposium for their excellent talks and papers, and to reviewers of the manuscripts.
