Evolvability: A quantitative-genetics perspective
The concept of evolvability emerged in the early 1990s and soon became fashionable as a
label for different streams of research in evolutionary biology. In evolutionary quantitative …

Evolution of thermal sensitivity in changing and variable climates
LB Buckley, JG Kingsolver - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

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 …

Genetic constraints, transcriptome plasticity, and the evolutionary response to climate change
In situ adaptation to climate change will be critical for the persistence of many ectotherm
species due to their relative lack of dispersal capacity. Climate change is causing increases …

Genetic constraints predict evolutionary divergence in Dalechampia blossoms
If genetic constraints are important, then rates and direction of evolution should be related to
trait evolvability. Here we use recently developed measures of evolvability to test the genetic …

Genetic adaptation as a biological buffer against climate change: Potential and limitations
Climate change profoundly impacts ecosystems and their biota, resulting in range shifts,
novel interactions, food web alterations, changed intensities of host—parasite interactions …

Evolutionary potential of multiple measures of upper thermal tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster
S Hangartner, AA Hoffmann - Functional Ecology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library

Natural selection mediated by seasonal time constraints increases the alignment between evolvability and developmental plasticity
Phenotypic plasticity can either hinder or promote adaptation to novel environments. Recent
studies that have quantified alignments between plasticity, genetic variation, and divergence …
