Approximately two decades after the first pioneering analyses, the study of shape asymmetry
with the methods of geometric morphometrics has matured and is a burgeoning field. New …

Multivariate analysis provides statistical methods for study of the joint relationships of
variables in data that contain intercorrelations. Because several variables can be …

In this report, we describe a simple correction for multiple testing of single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with each other, on the basis of the …

Genetic variances and correlations lie at the center of quantitative evolutionary theory. They
are often difficult to estimate, however, due to the large samples of related individuals that …

Constraints on phenotypic evolution can take a variety of forms. Constraints can arise from
inheritance, selection, development, and design limits. Contemporary visions of the …

Biological systems, from molecular complexes to whole organisms and ecological
interactions, tend to have a modular organization. Modules are sets of traits that are …

The connection between development and evolution has become the focus of an increasing
amount of research in recent years, and heterochrony has long been a key concept in this …

We present methods for estimating the parameters of inheritance and selection that appear
in a quantitative genetic model for the evolution growth trajectories and other" infinite …

Integration and modularity refer to the patterns and processes of trait interaction and
independence. Both terms have complex histories with respect to both conceptualization …

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 …
