The centenary of Galton's (84)“Natural Inheritance" emphasizes the continuity between the
ideas of the early pioneers and the modem renaissance of evolutionary quantitative genetics …

The Lande equation forms the basis for our understanding of the short‐term evolution of
quantitative traits in a multivariate context. It predicts the response to selection as the product …

The use of regression techniques for estimating the direction and magnitude of selection
from measurements on phenotypes has become widespread in field studies. A potential …

How should the concept of evidence be understood? And how does the concept of evidence
apply to the controversy about creationism as well as to work in evolutionary biology about …

We investigate the interplay between gene flow and adaptation in peripheral populations of
a widespread species. Models are developed for the evolution of a quantitative trait under …

The genetic variance‐covariance matrix, G, is determined in part by functional architecture,
the pathways by which variation in genotype influences phenotype. I develop a simple …

Similarity of genetic and phenotypic variation patterns among populations is important for
making quantitative inferences about past evolutionary forces acting to differentiate …

We present models of adaptive change in continuous traits for the following situations:(1)
adaptation of a single trait within a single population in which the fitness of a given individual …

Evolvability is the ability to respond to a selective challenge. This requires the capacity to
produce the right kind of variation for selection to act upon. To understand evolvability we …
