Twenty years on from Developmental Plasticity and Evolution: middle-range theories and how to test them
ABSTRACT In Developmental Plasticity and Evolution, Mary-Jane West-Eberhard argued
that the developmental mechanisms that enable organisms to respond to their environment …

The predictive power of genetic variation
Genetic variation is essential for evolutionary change. Over a few generations, variation
within populations can be used to predict how traits evolve under natural selection …

Developmental bias as a cause and consequence of adaptive radiation and divergence
Efforts to reconcile development and evolution have demonstrated that development is
biased, with phenotypic variation being more readily produced in certain directions …

Sexually divergent selection, allometric constraints, and the evolution of sexual dimorphism in cichlids from Lake Tanganyika
The evolution of sexual dimorphism is widely acknowledged as a manifestation of sex-
specific genetic architecture. Although empirical studies suggested that sexual dimorphism …

The macroevolutionary adaptive landscape: more than a metaphor?
The application of quantitative genetics to evolutionary biology has gone from revolutionary
to foundational in the span of Stevan Arnold's scientific career. As a capstone to his …

Rewinding developmental trajectories shows how bears break a developmental rule
Mammals have evolved a broad variety of dental morphologies. Nevertheless, the
development of the mammalian dentition is considered highly conserved. Molar size …
