understanding the origins of biodiversity. Genomic approaches are an increasingly …

Evolvability: A quantitative-genetics perspective

TF Hansen, C Pélabon - Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution …, 2021‏ - annualreviews.org
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 …

Evolvability and trait function predict phenotypic divergence of plant populations

ØH Opedal, WS Armbruster, TF Hansen… - Proceedings of the …, 2023‏ - pnas.org
Understanding the causes and limits of population divergence in phenotypic traits is a

[کتاب][B] Ecological speciation

P Nosil - 2012‏ - books.google.com
The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

Sexual dimorphism in flowering plants

SCH Barrett, J Hough - Journal of experimental botany, 2013‏ - academic.oup.com
Among dioecious flowering plants, females and males often differ in a range of
morphological, physiological, and life-history traits. This is referred to as sexual dimorphism …

Heritability is not evolvability

TF Hansen, C Pélabon, D Houle - Evolutionary Biology, 2011‏ - Springer
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 …

Rapid evolution of dispersal ability makes biological invasions faster and more variable

BM Ochocki, TEX Miller - Nature communications, 2017‏ - nature.com
Genetic variation in dispersal ability may result in the spatial sorting of alleles during range
expansion. Recent theory suggests that spatial sorting can favour the rapid evolution of life …

Modularity: genes, development, and evolution

D Melo, A Porto, JM Cheverud… - Annual review of ecology …, 2016‏ - annualreviews.org
Modularity has emerged as a central concept for evolutionary biology, thereby providing the
field with a theory of organismal structure and variation. This theory has reframed long …

Environmental effects on the structure of the G-matrix

CW Wood, ED Brodie III - Evolution, 2015‏ - academic.oup.com
Genetic correlations between traits determine the multivariate response to selection in the
short term, and thereby play a causal role in evolutionary change. Although individual …

Adaptive radiation along a deeply conserved genetic line of least resistance in Anolis lizards

JW McGlothlin, ME Kobiela, HV Wright… - Evolution …, 2018‏ - academic.oup.com
On microevolutionary timescales, adaptive evolution depends upon both natural selection
and the underlying genetic architecture of traits under selection, which may constrain …
