The quantitative genetic basis of sex ratio variation in Nasonia vitripennis : a QTL study [PDF]

, 2010
Our understanding of how natural selection should shape sex allocation is perhaps more developed than for any other trait. However, this understanding is not matched by our knowledge of the genetic basis of sex allocation.

Estimating quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations:A comparison of pedigree and genomic approaches [PDF]

, 2014
The estimation of quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations is generally limited by the accuracy and completeness of the available pedigree information. Using relatedness at genome-wide markers can potentially remove this limitation and lead to

Sexual selection on song and cuticular hydrocarbons in two distinct populations of Drosophila montana [PDF]

, 2011
Sexual selection has the potential to contribute to population divergence and speciation. Most studies of sexual selection in Drosophila have concentrated on a single signaling modality, usually either courtship song or cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs ...

Haplodiploidy and the evolution of eusociality : worker reproduction

, 2013
The authors acknowledge the European Research Council, the Royal Society, and Balliol College for funding.Hamilton’s haplodiploidy hypothesis suggests that the relatively higher relatedness of full sisters in haplodiploid populations promotes altruistic ...

Biological invasions in agricultural settings: insights from evolutionary biology and population genetics [PDF]

, 2011
Invasion biology and agriculture are intimately related for several reasons and in particular because many agricultural pest species are recent invaders. In this article we suggest that the reconstruction of invasion routes with population genetics-based

Evolution in a changing environment [PDF]

, 2012
We propose a simple model for genetic adaptation to a changing environment, describing a fitness landscape characterized by two maxima. One is associated with "specialist" individuals that are adapted to the environment; this maximum moves over time as ...

Variation in seed dormancy quantitative trait loci in Arabidopsis thaliana originating from one site [PDF]

, 2011
A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis was performed using two novel Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) populations, derived from the progeny between two Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes collected at the same site in Kyoto (Japan) crossed with the reference ...

Phenotypic evolution and hidden speciation in Candidula unifasciata ssp. (Helicellinae, Gastropoda) inferred by 16S variation and quantitative shell traits

, 2006
In an effort to link quantitative morphometric information with molecular data on the population level, we have analysed 19 populations of the conchologically variable land snail Candidula unifasciata from across the species range for variation in ...
