[HTML][HTML] Computer vision, machine learning, and the promise of phenomics in ecology and evolutionary biology
For centuries, ecologists and evolutionary biologists have used images such as drawings,
paintings and photographs to record and quantify the shapes and patterns of life. With the …

Beyond genotype‐phenotype maps: Toward a phenotype‐centered perspective on evolution
Evolutionary biology is paying increasing attention to the mechanisms that enable
phenotypic plasticity, evolvability, and extra‐genetic inheritance. Yet, there is a concern that …

Developmental bias predicts 60 million years of wing shape evolution
The degree to which developmental biases affect trait evolution is subject to much debate.
Here, we first quantify fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental variability, ie …

White paper: an integrated perspective on the causes of hypometric metabolic scaling in animals
Larger animals studied during ontogeny, across populations, or across species, usually
have lower mass-specific metabolic rates than smaller animals (hypometric scaling). This …

Multidimensional divergent selection, local adaptation, and speciation
NJ White, RK Butlin - Evolution, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Divergent selection applied to one or more traits drives local adaptation and may lead to
ecological speciation. Divergent selection on many traits might be termed “multidimensional” …
