Journal ArticleDOI
Personality and the emergence of the pace-of-life syndrome concept at the population level
Denis Réale,Dany Garant,Murray M. Humphries,Patrick Bergeron,Vincent Careau,Pierre-Olivier Montiglio +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that consistent behavioural differences among individuals, or personality, covary with life history and physiological differences at the within-population, interpopulation and interspecific levels.
Book
Eco-evolutionary Dynamics
TL;DR: This special feature about ‘eco-evolutionary dynamics’ brings together biologists from empirical and theoretical backgrounds to bridge the gap between ecology and evolution and provide a series of contributions aimed at quantifying the interactions between these fundamental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The multifarious effects of dispersal and gene flow on contemporary adaptation
TL;DR: It is suggested that an intermediate level of gene flow will allow the greatest adaptive divergence, owing to genetic/demographic rescue and ‘reinforcement’ and once a certain level of dispersal is reached, it is predicted that a further increase may have negative effects on adaptive divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental quality and evolutionary potential: lessons from wild populations
Anne Charmantier,Dany Garant +1 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis on recent studies comparing heritability in favourable versus unfavourable conditions in non-domestic and non-laboratory animals provides evidence for increased heritabilityIn more favourable conditions, significantly so for morphometric traits but not for traits more closely related to fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
'Good genes as heterozygosity': the major histocompatibility complex and mate choice in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
TL;DR: It is found that Atlantic salmon choose their mates in order to increase the heterozygosity of their offspring at the MHC and, more specifically, at the peptide–binding region, presumably inorder to provide them with better defence against parasites and pathogens.
