    ..However, given the relative scarcity of empirical studies, it is premature to make conclusions about the role of sex chromosome linkage in the evolution of sexual dimorphism...

    Arild Husby
    Institute of Evolutionary Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
    Evolution 64:2221-37. 2010
    ..Our results suggest that generalizations about the form and cause of any response to changing environmental conditions across populations may be difficult...

    Institute of Evolutionary Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
    PLoS Biol 9:e1000585. 2011
    ..Such associations could potentially speed up the rate of micro-evolution and offer a largely ignored mechanism by which natural populations may adapt to environmental changes...

    ..16. Any selection acting on incubation duration will therefore be inefficient. To our knowledge, this is the first time heritability of incubation duration has been estimated in a natural bird population...

    Niclas Vallin
    Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
    Evolution 66:1167-79. 2012
    ..We suggest that allopatric divergence in resource defense ability causes a feedback loop at secondary contact where male pied flycatchers with the most divergent strategy compared to collared flycatchers are favored by selection...

    Proc Biol Sci 276:1845-54. 2009
    ..Our results indicate that adjustment to changing climatic conditions may involve shifts in life-history traits other than simply the timing of breeding...
