Yоu cоllect individuаls frоm а species of sаlamanders from several localities along an elevational transect ranging from sea level to approximately 2,000 meters above sea level, and you measure developmental rates of these salamanders in a laboratory study. The salamanders collected from 2,000 meters above sea level develop the fastest, whereas those from sea level developed slowest. An analysis of these data shows that many of your data points fall very close to a trend line relating elevation to developmental rate, and your p-value is 0.012 after carrying out a statistical test. What might you conclude about these salamanders from this study? (Your response should incorporate ecological and/or evolutionary mechanisms.)
