Cryptic evolution in a wild bird populationJ Merilä
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...
Genetic architecture of fitness and nonfitness traits: empirical patterns and development of ideasJ Merilä
Department of Population Biology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvagen 18D, SE 752 36 Uppsala, Sweden
Heredity (Edinb) 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...
Explaining stasis: microevolutionary studies in natural populationsJ 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...
