Ecological combining ability and competitive combining ability in plants: toward a general evolutionary theory of coexistence in systems of competition
TL;DR: It is proposed that, in nature, selection for ecological combining ability and selection for competitive combining ability operate in concert, and this provides reconciliation of the contradiction in theory between convergent adaptation to a common habitat and divergence adaptation to other members of the community.

Quantitative genetic models of sexual selection
Louise S. Mead,Stevan J. Arnold +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that sexual selection has tremendous potential to produce population differentiation, particularly in epigamic traits, by indeterminancy of evolutionary outcome, transient differences among populations during the final slow approach to equilibrium, sampling drift among equilibrium populations, and tendency of sexual selection to amplify geographic variation arising from spatial differences in natural selection.

Statistical inference in two-sample summary-data Mendelian randomization using robust adjusted profile score
TL;DR: In this article, a linear model for the observed associations approximately holds in a wide variety of settings when all the genetic variants satisfy the exclusion restriction assumption, or in genetic terms, when there is no pleiotropy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant species richness: the effect of island size and habitat diversity
D. D. Kohn,Walsh Dm +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of dicotyledonous plant species was carried out on 45 uninhabited, unimproved, small islands off Shetland Mainland, plus two similar mainland headlands treated as islands as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Down syndrome--a disruption of homeostasis.
TL;DR: It is suggested here that a generalized disruption of evolved genetic balance in cells of affected individuals leads to decreased developmental and physiological buffering against genetic and environmental forces.
