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 …

The ability to adapt to marginal habitats, in which survival and reproduction are initially poor,
plays a crucial role in the evolution of ecological niches and species ranges. Adaptation to …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Short-term evolutionary potential depends on the additive genetic variance in the
population. The additive variance is often measured as heritability, the fraction of the total …

Much attention has been given to forecasting the likely effects of ongoing climate change on
biodiversity. A large and often contentious literature has developed about how changes in …

Trade‐offs are a core component of many evolutionary models, particularly those dealing
with the evolution of life histories. In the present paper, we identify four topics of key …

Evolutionary biology has struggled to explain the coexistence of two basic observations:
Genetic variation is found in almost all traits in the presence of strong natural and sexual …

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 G-matrix summarizes the inheritance of multiple, phenotypic traits. The stability and
evolution of this matrix are important issues because they affect our ability to predict how the …
