Adaptive population divergence: markers, QTL and traits
John K. McKay,Robert G. Latta +1 more
TL;DR: Molecular markers appear to be poor indicators of heritable variation in adaptive traits, but recent theoretical and simulation studies suggest that F st is a better predictor of the pattern of allelic differentiation at quantitative trait loci (QTLs) than is Q st in random mating populations, in which case allelic variation at QTLs might be better assessed by molecular markers.

Selfish and Spiteful Behaviour in an Evolutionary Model
TL;DR: It seems to be a neglected question whether the harm delivered to an adversary is always merely an unfortunate consequence of adaptations for survival, and whether such harm ever be adaptive in itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting loci under selection in a hierarchically structured population.
TL;DR: It is shown that tests not accounting for a hierarchical structure, when it exists, do generate a large excess of false positive loci, whereas the hierarchical island model is robust to uncertainties about the exact number of groups and demes per group in the system.

Comparison of the biometrical genetical, MAVA, and classical approaches to the analysis of human behavior.
J. L. Jinks,D. W. Fulker +1 more
TL;DR: Although data were often inadequate, the techniques provided new information on the gene action controlling the measures and on their evolution, indicating the unique value of the biometrical approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population structure in Daphnia obtusa: quantitative genetic and allozymic variation.
TL;DR: Analyses of population differentiation for clutch size, age at reproduction, and growth rate indicate that neutral phenotypic evolution cannot be excluded as the cause, and evidence that natural selection has promoted diversification for body size among populations, and has impeded diversifying for relative fitness is provided.

Coefficients of Inbreeding and Relationship
TL;DR: The importance of having a coefficient by means of which the degree of inbreeding may be expressed has been brought out by Pearl' in a number of papers published between 1913 and 1917.

The material basis of evolution.
TL;DR: Goldschmidt as discussed by the authors argued that macroevolution resulted from larger jumps in genotype across "bridgeless gaps" related either to systemic mutations or to mutations affecting early development.
