The modular structure of the floral phenotype in Mimulus luteus var. luteus (Phrymaceae)

Most studies of multivariate evolution on the floral phenotype assume that traits evolve independently one from each other, ignoring the modular structure that results from genetic correlations or developmental constraints. In this paper we describe the interdependence of nine floral traits in the h...
