Environmental coupling of selection and heritability limits evolution. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable ...

Meta-analysis Shows That Rapid Phenotypic Change in Angiosperms in Response to Environmental Change Is Followed by Stasis [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2019 The amount and rate of phenotypic change at ecological timescales varies widely, but there has not been a comprehensive quantitative synthesis of the patterns and causes of such variation for plants. Present knowledge is based predominantly on animals, whose differences with plants in the origin of germ cells and the level of modularity (among others ...

Evolution of microgastropods (Ellobioidea, Carychiidae): integrating taxonomic, phylogenetic and evolutionary hypotheses [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013 Background Current biodiversity patterns are considered largely the result of past climatic and tectonic changes. In an integrative approach, we combine taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses to analyze temporal and geographic diversification of epigean ...

Patterns and implications of stasis in trilobites [PDF]
, 1995 Stasis may be operationally defined as the occurrence of little or no evolutionary change during an interval of geological time, and is an important consequence of punctuated equilibria.

Morphometric variation of extant platyrrhine molars: taxonomic implications for fossil platyrrhines [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The phylogenetic position of many fossil platyrrhines with respect to extant ones is not yet clear. Two main hypotheses have been proposed: the layered or successive radiations hypothesis suggests that Patagonian fossils are Middle Miocene stem ...

A new explanation for unexpected evolution in body size. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Bigger is apparently frequently fitter, and body size is typically heritable, so why don't animals in wild populations evolve towards larger sizes? Different explanations have been proposed for this apparent "paradox of stasis." A new study of snow voles

Zebrafish as model system for the biological characterization of CK1 inhibitors
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 Introduction: The CK1 family is involved in a variety of physiological processes by regulating different signaling pathways, including the Wnt/β-catenin, the Hedgehog and the p53 signaling pathways. Mutations or dysregulation of kinases in general and of
