Analysis of Rates of Morphologic Evolution

TL;DR: This work states that rates of morphological evolution exist at several hierarchical levels and have been measured variously as factors of exponential change over time, or have been scaled for comparison according to sample standard deviations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing hypotheses regarding the genetics of adaptation

TL;DR: The genetic dissection of adaptive traits should be conducted within a strict hypothesis-testing framework and within systems that promise a reasonable chance of identifying the specific genetic changes of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Herbivore deme formation on individual trees: a test case

TL;DR: The deme-formation hypothesis, which states that sessile herbivores on long-lived hosts become locally adapted to the defensive phenotypes of individual trees, is rejected because of significant variation in the resistance traits of a natural tree population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution in changing environments: the "synthetic" work of Clausen, Keck, and Hiesey.

TL;DR: The research program of CKH is analyzed, highlighting their major findings during the years when the modern synthesis of evolution was taking shape and the demonstration by CKH of adaptive differentiation by natural selection and their approaches to understanding the genetic structure of populations.

Assignment of a locus for mouse lung tumor susceptibility to proximal Chromosome 19

TL;DR: A correlation of lung tumor multiplicity phenotypes with genotypes of microsatellite markers on distal Chromosome (Chr) 6 in the Kras region (Pas1) was confirmed, and a new region on Chr 19 (designated Pas3) was identified that also contributes to susceptibility.
