Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping phenotypes: canalization, plasticity and developmental stability

TL;DR: The links between canalization, plasticity and developmental stability, the three major processes involved in the control of phenotypic variability, are clarified.
Journal ArticleDOI

The coupling hypothesis: why genome scans may fail to map local adaptation genes.

TL;DR: It is argued that endogenous genetic barriers are often more likely than local adaptation to explain the majority of Fst‐outlying loci observed in genome scan approaches – even when these are correlated to environmental variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

A general eco-evolutionary framework for understanding bioinvasions

TL;DR: This work considers how migration (as a demographic factor), as well as ecological and evolutionary changes, affect invasion success, and proposes three main theoretical scenarios that depend on how these factors generate the match between an invader and its new environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the relationship between the inbreeding coefficient and multilocus heterozygosity: theoretical expectations and empirical data.

TL;DR: Microsatellite genotypes at 138 loci spanning all 26 autosomes of the sheep genome were used to investigate the relationship between inbreeding coefficient and multilocus heterozygosity and detected evidence of inbreeding depression for morphological traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterozygosity–fitness correlations: new perspectives on old problems

TL;DR: This issue might soon be resolved provided clear hypotheses and definitions are used and the problem of the neutrality of allozyme variation is not identified with the related issue of HFC, as well as new empirical & theoretical tools.
