Observations about the number, frequency, effect size, and genomic distribution of alleles
associated with complex traits must be interpreted in light of evolutionary process. These …

Beim Studium der jüngeren Kontroversen über den Darwinismus fiel mir wiederholt auf, das
sie falsche Darstellungen enthielten, so als würde es sich um irgendetwas Umfassenderes …

Populations are locally adapted when populations have the highest relative fitness at their
home sites, and lower fitness in other parts of the range. Results from the extensive …

Microorganisms have been mutating and evolving on Earth for billions of years. Now, a field
of research has developed around the idea of using microorganisms to study evolution in …

We report a set of tools to estimate the number of susceptibility loci and the distribution of
their effect sizes for a trait on the basis of discoveries from existing genome-wide association …

Explaining the origins of novel traits is central to evolutionary biology. Longstanding theory
suggests that developmental plasticity, the ability of an individual to modify its development …

Hybridization may influence evolution in a variety of ways. If hybrids are less fit, the
geographical range of ecologically divergent populations may be limited, and prezygotic …

Theoretical studies of adaptation have exploded over the past decade. This work has been
inspired by recent, surprising findings in the experimental study of adaptation. For example …

The first goal of this paper was to overview modern approaches to local adaptation, with a
focus on the use of population genomics data to detect signals of natural selection in fishes …

▪ Abstract Phenotypic variation for quantitative traits results from the segregation of alleles at
multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) with effects that are sensitive to the genetic, sexual, and …
