    Evolution 58:203-6. 2004
    ..To our knowledge, this experiment provides the first evidence of host quantitative genetics being influenced by parasitism, and illustrates the potential for parasitism to constrain an evolutionary response to selection...

    Anne Charmantier
    Edward Grey Institute, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK
    Science 320:800-3. 2008
    ..Phenotypic plasticity can thus play a central role in tracking environmental change; understanding the limits of plasticity is an important goal for future research...

    A Charmantier
    Centre d Ecologie Fonctionnelle Evolutive, CNRS, Montpellier Cedex, France
    J Evol Biol 17:732-43. 2004
    ..Potential explanations for this absence of a response to selection are discussed, including the effects of spatial heterogeneity associated with gene flow between habitats...
  4. ncbi Environmental quality and evolutionary potential: lessons from wild populations

    Department of Zoology, Edward Grey Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK

  5. ncbi How do misassigned paternities affect the estimation of heritability in the wild?
    Anne Charmantier
    Edward Grey Institute, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, United Kingdom
    Mol Ecol 14:2839-50. 2005
    ..Typical rates of extra-pair paternities in birds (around 20% of offspring) should result in an underestimation of heritability of less than 15% when estimated over a minimum of 100 broods...

    R H McCleery
    Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK

    Anne Charmantier
    Edward Grey Institute, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, UK
