    Heredity 83:103-9. 1999
    ..The role of epistasis should not be discounted either, since a large number of loci increases the potential for epistatic interactions, and epistasis is strongly implicated in hybrid breakdown...

    Department of Population Biology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvagen 18D, SE 752 36 Uppsala, Sweden
    Nature 412:76-9. 2001
    ..The mismatch between response to selection at the levels of genotype and phenotype can be explained by environmental deterioration, concealing underlying evolution. This form of cryptic evolution may be common in natural environments...

    J Merilä
    Department of Population Biology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Sweden
    Genetica 112:199-222. 2001
    ..Understanding why most intensively studied natural populations do not appear to be evolving is an important challenge for evolutionary biology...

    S Pakkasmaa
    Department of Population Biology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, , SE-75236 Uppsala, Sweden
    Heredity 91:117-24. 2003

    V Lummaa
    Department of Biology, University of Turku, Finland
    Proc Biol Sci 265:563-8. 1998
    ..However, the strength of these patterns varied across the parishes, suggesting that factors other than OSR (e.g. socioeconomic or environmental factors may also have influenced the sex ratio at birth and the birth rate...

    J Evol Biol 16:996-1005. 2003
    ..All in all, the results provide a demonstration of environmental effects concealing substantial latitudinally ordered genetic differentiation understandable in terms of adaptation to clinal variation in time constrains...
