G-matrix stability in clinally diverging populations of an annual weed

GA Henry, JR Stinchcombe - Evolution, 2023 - academic.oup.com
How phenotypic and genetic divergence among populations is influenced by the genetic
architecture of those traits, and how microevolutionary changes in turn affect the within …

Experimental evidence that phenotypic evolution but not plasticity occurs along genetic lines of least resistance in homogeneous environments

GM Walter - The American Naturalist, 2023 - journals.uchicago.edu
Genetic correlations concentrate genetic variation in certain directions of the multivariate
phenotype. Adaptation and, under some models, plasticity is expected to occur in the …

Does lack of evolvability constrain adaptation? If so, on what time scales?

KL Voje, M Grabowski, A Holstad, A Porto, M Tsuboi… - 2023 - duo.uio.no
The relevance of genetic constraints for evolutionary change beyond microevolutionary
timescales is debated. The high evolvability of natural populations predicts rapid adaptation …

Strong selection is poorly aligned with genetic variation in Ipomoea hederacea: implications for divergence and constraint

GA Henry, JR Stinchcombe - Evolution, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The multivariate evolution of populations is the result of the interactions between natural
selection, drift, and the underlying genetic structure of the traits involved. Covariances …

Patterns of genomic diversity and linkage disequilibrium across the disjunct range of the Australian forest tree Eucalyptus globulus

JB Butler, JS Freeman, BM Potts… - Tree Genetics & …, 2022 - Springer
The evolutionary trajectory of a population both influences and is influenced by
characteristics of its genome. A disjunct population, for example is likely to exhibit genomic …

[HTML][HTML] Performance-based inference of selection on stomatal length and specific leaf area varies with climate-of-origin of the forest tree, Eucalyptus ovata

Predictable and divergent change in the multivariate P matrix during parallel adaptation

SP De Lisle, DI Bolnick, YE Stuart - The American Naturalist, 2024 - journals.uchicago.edu
Adaptation to replicated environmental conditions can be remarkably predictable,
