Journal ArticleDOI

The evolutionary ecology of individual phenotypic plasticity in wild populations.

TL;DR: An analytical framework is outlined, utilizing the reaction norm concept and random regression statistical models, to assess the between‐individual variation in life history plasticity that may underlie population level responses to the environment at both phenotypic and genetic levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Senescence rates are determined by ranking on the fast–slow life‐history continuum

TL;DR: Without using life tables, senescence rates in annual individual fitness is examined using 20 individual-based data sets of terrestrial vertebrates with contrasting life histories and body size to assess the robustness of the prevalent life-table approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing the genetics underlying the co-evolution of mate choice and ornament in the wild

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the field of sexual selection by showing that genes coding for mate choice for an ornament probably evolve by their own pathways instead of ‘hitchhiking’ with genes coded for the ornament.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate change drives microevolution in a wild bird

TL;DR: It is shown that pheomelanin-based plumage colouration in tawny owls is a highly heritable trait, consistent with a simple Mendelian pattern of brown (dark) dominance over grey (pale).
