The evolution of genetic canalization under fluctuating selectionT J Kawecki
Zoology Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland
Evolution 54:1-12. 2000..This paper considerably broadens the conditions that favor genetic canalization, which so far has only been postulated to evolve under long-term stabilizing selection...
Adaptation to marginal habitats: contrasting influence of the dispersal rate on the fate of alleles with small and large effectsT J Kawecki
Zoology Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland
Proc Biol Sci 267:1315-20. 2000..The opposite is the case for mutations with very small effects. For a broad range of mutations with intermediate effects the conditions are most stringent under an intermediate dispersal rate...
Influence of learning on range expansion and adaptation to novel habitatsM Sutter
Institute of Zoology, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
J Evol Biol 22:2201-14. 2009..Thus, in heterogeneous environments learning may facilitate evolutionary range expansions and maintenance of the potential of local populations to respond to subsequent environmental changes...
