  1. ncbi Rapidly declining fine-scale spatial genetic structure in female red deer
    D H Nussey
    Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh, EH9 3JT, UK
    Mol Ecol 14:3395-405. 2005
    ..We argue that both increasing female population size and decreasing polygyny could explain the decline in female population genetic structure...
  2. ncbi Selection on heritable phenotypic plasticity in a wild bird population
    Daniel H Nussey
    Netherlands Institute of Ecology NIOO KNAW, Post Office Box 40, 6666 ZG Heteren, Netherlands
    Science 310:304-6. 2005
    ..This temporal trend is concurrent with climate change causing a mismatch between the breeding times of the birds and their caterpillar prey. Continued selection on plasticity can act to alleviate this mismatch...
  3. ncbi Constraints on plastic responses to climate variation in red deer
    Daniel H Nussey
    Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh, Kings Buildings, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JT, UK
    Biol Lett 1:457-60. 2005
    ..The presence of such systematic variation in individual plasticity is rarely documented in the wild, and has important implications for our understanding of the environmental dependencies of traits under varying ecological conditions...
  4. ncbi Genetic consequences of human management in an introduced island population of red deer (Cervus elaphus)
    D H Nussey
    Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JT, UK
    Heredity (Edinb) 97:56-65. 2006
    ..We suggest that recent differences in the management regimes in different parts of the island have led to differences in effective male migration that would account for this observation...

    E L D Wood
    Institute of Evolutionary Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, UK
    Parasitology 140:115-28. 2013

    Daniel H Nussey
    Curr Biol 17:R1000-1. 2007

    Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3JT, United Kingdom
    Curr Biol 17:2136-42. 2007
    ..We find evidence that genetic differences among individuals cause variation in their rates of aging and that additive genetic variance for fitness increases with age, as predicted by the evolutionary theory of senescence...

    Daniel H Nussey
    Large Animal Research Group, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, UK

    Daniel H Nussey
    Ecol Lett 9:1342-50. 2006
    ..These results present rare evidence in support of the disposable soma and antagonistic pleiotropy theories of senescence from a wild vertebrate population and highlight the utility of mixed models for testing theories of ageing...
