Although there are many examples of contemporary directional selection, evidence for responses to selection that match predictions are often missing in quantitative genetic …
Evolutionary biologists typically envision a trait's genetic basis and fitness effects occurring within a single species. However, traits can be determined by and have fitness …
Understanding the interplay between ecological processes and the evolutionary dynamics of quantitative traits in natural systems remains a major challenge. Two main theoretical …
A fundamental aim of post-genomic 21st century biology is to understand the genotype– phenotype map (GPM) or how specific genetic variation relates to specific phenotypic …
Urbanization is one of the most significant contributors to the Anthropocene, and urban evolutionary ecology has become an important field of research. While it is commonly …
Our understanding of the evolution of quantitative traits in nature is still limited by the challenge of including realistic trait distributions in the context of frequency-dependent …
A timely update of a highly popular handbook on statistical genomics This new, two-volume edition of a classic text provides a thorough introduction to statistical genomics, a vital …
