    Genet Res 76:295-304. 2000
    ..In seven of eight pair-wise comparisons genetic variation in reaction norm is higher in a less variable environment than in a more variable environment, which is in accord with the model's predictions...

    Evolutionary Population Biology, Utrecht University, 3584 CH Utrecht, The Netherlands
    Evolution 57:1829-36. 2003
    ..The implication for natural populations is that in nature, thermal evolution drives populations to opposite ends of an adult size versus larval survival trade-off by altering resource processing, if resource availability is limited...

    ..The heritability estimates obtained ranged from h (2) = 0.197 +/- 0.091 to h (2) = 0.429 +/- 0.154. All our estimates were substantially lower than previous estimates of sperm length heritability in non-social insects and vertebrates...
