Journal ArticleDOI
Genotype-environment interaction and the evolution of phenotypic plasticity.
Sara Via,Russell Lande +1 more
TL;DR: These models utilize the statistical relationship which exists between genotype‐environment interaction and genetic correlation to describe evolution of the mean phenotype under soft and hard selection in coarse‐grained environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity: consensus and controversy.
Sara Via,Richard Gomulkiewicz,Gerdien De Jong,Samuel M. Scheiner,Carl D. Schlichting,Peter H. van Tienderen +5 more
TL;DR: Current issues are laid out and the areas of consensus and controversy surrounding the evolution of plasticity and the reaction norm (the set of phenotypes produced by a genotype over a range of environments) are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sympatric speciation in animals: the ugly duckling grows up.
TL;DR: It might be time for a re-evaluation of the geographical classification of speciation modes in favor of one based primarily on evolutionary mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic linkage of ecological specialization and reproductive isolation in pea aphids.
David J. Hawthorne,Sara Via +1 more
TL;DR: A model of the role of genetic correlations in specialization and speciation is presented, and several complexes of pleiotropic or closely linked quantitative trait loci that affect key traits in ways that would promote speciation are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
The quantitative genetics of polyphagy in an insect herbivore. ii. genetic correlations in larval performance within and among host plants.
TL;DR: Because the overall evolution of the phenotype is a composite of direct and correlated responses to selection, the evolutionary trajectories of genetically correlated characters are fundamentally interdependent.
