Using time series analysis to characterize evolutionary and plastic responses to environmental change: a case study of a shift toward earlier migration date in sockeye salmon
TL;DR: It is found that an evolutionary response to thermal selection was capable of explaining up to two-thirds of the phenotypic trend, and this method augments the toolbox for predicting responses to environmental change.

The Dynamics of a Quantitative Trait in an Age-Structured Population Living in a Variable Environment
Tim Coulson,Shripad Tuljapurkar +1 more
TL;DR: An equation to exactly decompose change in the mean value of a phenotypic trait into contributions from fluctuations in the demographic structure and age‐specific viability selection, fertility selection, phenotypesic plasticity, and differences between offspring and parental trait values is derived.

Early life stages contribute strongly to local adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana
Froukje M. Postma,Jon Ågren +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that selection during the seedling establishment phase contributed strongly to the fitness advantage of the local genotype at both sites, and with one exception, local alleles of the eight distinct establishment QTL were favored.

The formal Darwinism project: A mid-term report
TL;DR: The ‘Formal Darwinism Project’ is pursued, whose essence is to underpin and formalize the fitness optimization ideas used by behavioural ecologists, using a new kind of argument linking the Mathematics of motion and the mathematics of optimization.

Spatial variation in selective regimes: sexual selection in the water strider, gerris odontogaster.
TL;DR: This study compares the sexual selection regimes in natural populations of the water strider Gerris odontogaster with a priori predictions of selection, based on a number of previous field and laboratory studies of the behavioral mechanisms of selection.
