Functional Complexes and Additivity in Performance: A Test Case with "Flying" Frogs

A quantative study of the additivity of the performance ability in a suite of morphological characters associated with "flying" in frogs is presented. Results, including a possible analogous situation for nonadditive phenotypic effects, are given.
