Table 2.

Standardized directional selection differentials (S) and gradients (β) on traits measured in a field population (SJM) of Mimulus guttatus in Lassen National Forest, Butte County, California, USA

Trait n S (s.e.) β (s.e.)
Flower size 49 0·91 (0·31)*** 0·98 (0·42)**
Anther–stigma separation 50 −0·15 (0·35) 0·17 (0·36)
Julian date of first flower (JDFF) 59 −0·84 (0·27)** −0·02 (0·01)*
% 18 1·40 (0·61)**
δ13C 17 −0·58 (0·73)
Biomass 64 0·60 (0·26) 0·10 (0·37)

Fitness was estimated as lifetime seed production. Gradients were not estimated for %N and δ13C due to small sample sizes.

P < 0·1 *P < 0·05; **P < 0·01; ***P < 0·001.
