A major question for the study of phenotypic evolution is whether intra-and interspecific
diversity originates directly from genetic variation, or instead, as plastic responses to …

Phenotypic polymorphism is a consequence of developmental plasticity, in which the
trajectories of developing organisms diverge under the influence of cues. Environmental and …

The dualism of genetic predisposition and environmental influences, their interactions, and
respective roles in shaping the phenotype have been a hot topic in biological sciences for …

Two of the great mysteries of biology yet to be explored concern the distribution and
abundance of genetic variation in natural populations and the genetic architecture of …

Evolutionary genetics has entered an unprecedented era of discovery, catalyzed in large
part by the development of technologies that provide information about genome sequence …

Increasing acceptance that evolution can be 'rapid'(or 'contemporary') has generated
growing interest in the consequences for ecology. The genetics and genomics of these 'eco …

Studies on polymorphisms have been foundational to our understanding of evolution. The
presence of different phenotypic morphs is sometimes considered a precursor to speciation …

Speciation is the origin of reproductive isolation and divergence between populations,
according to the “biological species concept” of Mayr. Studies of reproductive isolation have …

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 …

Although single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) were initially thought to make‐up the
majority of selectable variation (Morin, Luikart, & Wayne, 2004; Sachidanandam et al …
