Individuals and populations: the role of long-term, individual-based studies of animals in ecology and evolutionary biology
T Clutton-Brock, BC Sheldon - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2010 - cell.com
Many important questions in ecology and evolutionary biology can only be answered with
data that extend over several decades and answering a substantial proportion of questions …

Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses
P Gienapp, C Teplitsky, JS Alho, JA Mills… - Molecular …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Rapid climate change is likely to impose strong selection pressures on traits important for
fitness, and therefore, microevolution in response to climate‐mediated selection is …

Heritability is not evolvability
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 …

Measuring and comparing evolvability and constraint in multivariate characters
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 …

What is individual quality? An evolutionary perspective
In studies of population ecology, demography and life history evolution, among-individual
differences in traits associated with survival and reproduction are often attributed to variation …

A quantitative review of heterozygosity–fitness correlations in animal populations
The ease of obtaining genotypic data from wild populations has renewed interest in the
relationship between individual genetic diversity and fitness‐related traits (heterozygosity …

Sexually antagonistic selection, sexual dimorphism, and the resolution of intralocus sexual conflict
RM Cox, R Calsbeek - The American Naturalist, 2009 - journals.uchicago.edu
Males and females share most of their genomes and express many of the same traits, yet the
sexes often have markedly different selective optima for these shared traits. This sexually …

Genetic origins of social networks in rhesus macaques
Sociality is believed to have evolved as a strategy for animals to cope with their
environments. Yet the genetic basis of sociality remains unclear. Here we provide evidence …

Sex-specific genetic variance and the evolution of sexual dimorphism: a systematic review of cross-sex genetic correlations
The independent evolution of the sexes may often be constrained if male and female
homologous traits share a similar genetic architecture. Thus, cross-sex genetic covariance is …

Wild pedigrees: the way forward
JM Pemberton - Proceedings of the Royal Society B …, 2008 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Metrics derived from pedigrees are key to investigating several major issues in evolutionary
biology, including the quantitative genetic architecture of traits, inbreeding depression, and …
