Evolutionary theory has made large impacts on our understanding and management of the
world, in part because it has been able to incorporate new data and new insights …

While it is universally recognised that environmental factors can cause phenotypic trait
variation via phenotypic plasticity, the extent to which causal processes operate in the …

The position an individual holds in a social network is dependent on both its direct and
indirect social interactions. Because social network position is dependent on the actions and …

Childhood maltreatment, occurring in up to 20-30% of the population, remains far too
common, and incorporates a range of active and passive factors, from abuse, to neglect, to …

Abstract Harris's The Nature Assumption (1998) challenged the then-common belief that the
non-genetic factor is the family (parental) environment or nurture. Nurture is not synonymous …

Behaviour is considered among the most important factors in colonising new habitats. While
population divergence in behaviour is well-documented, intraspecific variation in exploratory …

Accurate heritability estimates for fitness‐related traits are required to predict an organism's
ability to respond to global change. Heritability estimates are theoretically expected to be …

In the last two decades, there has been increasing research interest in disentangling the
contribution of genetic and environmental factors to individual differences in attachment, and …

Estimating the genetic variation underpinning a trait is crucial to understanding and
predicting its evolution. A key statistical tool to estimate this variation is the animal model …

When genotypes differ in niche-constructing traits, genotypes are expected to differ in which
environments they experience, providing a novel causal relationship between genotypes …
