Adaptive responses to directional trait selection in the Miocene enabled Cape proteas to colonize the savanna grasslands

Directional selection occurs when the agent of selection changes direction or strength such that fitness of a dominant trait is relaxed or even annulled, and simultaneously the fitness of a rare opposing trait is intensified or even becomes essential. The value of this concept in evolutionary ecolog...
