Phenotype? as opposed to trait (in the strictest sense). I get lazy and sometimes use the two interchangeably but I think if phenotype is defined as a collection of traits it works.
Researchers in the US might be having feelings about writing grants atm-I know I am!
We still need to write them. In this Evolution Exchange, I again chat with Sam Scheiner, who summarizes how to write a competitive proposal.
His advice is gold, and helpful regardless of funder. Pls RT!
