Toward a new synthesis: population genetics and evolutionary developmental biology.

TL;DR: The role divergence in regulatory developmental genetic pathways may play in speciation is discussed and the population genetics of molecular co-option is argued, arguing that mutations of large effect are not needed for co- option.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating Brownian motion dispersal rate, longevity and population density from spatially explicit mark–recapture data on tropical butterflies

TL;DR: A Bayesian method for analysing mark-recapture data in continuous habitat using a model in which individuals movement paths are Brownian motions, life spans are exponentially distributed and capture events occur at given instants in time if individuals are within a certain attractive distance of the traps is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic architecture, genetic behavior, and character evolution

TL;DR: The importance of recent studies of gene interaction in Drosophila developmental genetics is proposed that the importance of these studies for population genetics lies in suggesting that the small-effect of at least some genetic variation can hide a potential for strong phenotypic effects which can be expressed through interlocus interactions within sets of function­ ally related loci.

Shaping intraspecifíc variation: development, ecology and the evolution of morphology and life history variation in tiger salamanders

TL;DR: A. tigrinum is among the most variable species of salamanders in morphology and life history with two larval morphs and three adult morphs (metamorphosed, typical branchiate, cannibal branchiate) that vary in frequency between subspecies and between populations within subspecies as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Path analysis of family resemblance and gene-environment interaction

TL;DR: The consequences of interaction between genotype and transmissible environment, in path analysis of family resemblance on the assumption of additivity of effects, are examined in this article, where the power of the test depends critically on the amount of data available for separated relatives.
