Size correction in biology: how reliable are approaches based on (common) principal component analysis?Daniel Berner
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Oecologia 166:961-71. 2011..As I demonstrate, (C)PC1 extracted from a subset of traits, not themselves subjected to size correction, can provide such a size metric...
Variable progress toward ecological speciation in parapatry: stickleback across eight lake-stream transitionsDaniel Berner
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, CH 4051 Basel, Switzerland
Evolution 63:1740-53. 2009..Our study thus makes a case for ecological speciation in a parapatric context, while also highlighting variation in the outcome...
Correction of a bootstrap approach to testing for evolution along lines of least resistanceD Berner
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
J Evol Biol 22:2563-5. 2009..The application of this new test protocol should improve future investigations of evolution along lines of least resistance and other vector comparisons...
Foraging trait (co)variances in stickleback evolve deterministically and do not predict trajectories of adaptive diversificationDaniel Berner
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, CH 4051 Basel, Switzerland
Evolution 64:2265-77. 2010....
Constraints on speciation suggested by comparing lake-stream stickleback divergence across two continentsDaniel Berner
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Vesalgasse 1, CH 4051 Basel, Switzerland
Mol Ecol 19:4963-78. 2010..Overall, our comparative approach suggests constraints on speciation due to genetic architecture and limited time for divergence. The relative importance of these factors remains to be quantified by future investigation...
Quantitative genetic inheritance of morphological divergence in a lake-stream stickleback ecotype pair: implications for reproductive isolationD Berner
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
J Evol Biol 24:1975-83. 2011..Our study suggests that traits involved in adaptation might contribute to reproductive isolation qualitatively differently, depending on their mode of inheritance...
Genome divergence during evolutionary diversification as revealed in replicate lake-stream stickleback population pairsMarius Roesti
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Vesalgasse 1, CH 4051 Basel, Switzerland
Mol Ecol 21:2852-62. 2012....
Uninformative polymorphisms bias genome scans for signatures of selectionMarius Roesti
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Vesalgasse 1, Basel, Ch 4051, Switzerland
BMC Evol Biol 12:94. 2012....
Repeated lake-stream divergence in stickleback life history within a Central European lake basinDario Moser
Zoological Institute, University of Basel, Vesalgasse 1, Basel, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 7:e50620. 2012..Given that body size is known to strongly influence stickleback mating behavior, these barriers might well be related to life history divergence...
