Multimodel inference in ecology and evolution: challenges and solutions

TL;DR: A number of practical obstacles to model averaging complex models are highlighted and it is hoped that this approach will become more accessible to those investigating any process where multiple variables impact an evolutionary or ecological response.
Journal ArticleDOI

How does the 50/500 rule apply to MVPs?

TL;DR: It is argued that the confusion arises when the genetic basis for a short- term N(e) of 50 to avoid inbreeding depression is used to justify a long-term N( e) of 500 to maintain evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dense sampling of bird diversity increases power of comparative genomics.

Shaohong Feng, +169 more
- 12 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: The densely sampled alignment provides a single-base-pair map of selection, has more than doubled the fraction of bases that are confidently predicted to be under conservation and reveals extensive patterns of weak selection in predominantly non-coding DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disentangling the roles of natural selection and genetic drift in shaping variation at MHC immunity genes

TL;DR: This paper showed that negative frequency-dependent selection could be more important than overdominance for maintaining high MHC polymorphism in pre-bottlenecked populations, but their results are counter to general expectations that selection should maintain high polymorphism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioral Heterochrony and the Evolution of Birds' Helping at the Nest: An Unselected Consequences of Communal Breeding?

TL;DR: It is argued that the functional significance of nonbreeders' feeding offspring is irrelevant with respect to the evolutionary origin of the behavior because provisioning offspring is a constraint of many present-day species of birds, including those with helpers at the nest.
