Modelling infection as a two-step process combining gene-for-gene and matching-allele geneticsAneil F Agrawal
Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 3700, USA
Proc Biol Sci 270:323-34. 2003..The magnitude of the cost that switched the dynamics from GFG dominated to MA dominated depended on the genetic architecture of defence (i.e. the number of GFG and MA loci)...
Parent-offspring coadaptation and the dual genetic control of maternal careA F Agrawal
Department of Biology and Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 3700, USA
Science 292:1710-2. 2001..Furthermore, as predicted by maternal-offspring coadaptation theory, offspring signaling is negatively genetically correlated with maternal provisioning...
Sexual selection and the maintenance of sexual reproductionA F Agrawal
Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington 47405 3700, USA
Nature 411:692-5. 2001..The results are not altered by synergistic epistasis in males...
Recessive mutations and the maintenance of sex in structured populationsA F Agrawal
Department of Biology, Indiana University, 1001 E 3rd St, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA
Genetics 158:913-7. 2001..asexual populations. With population structure, the cost of sex can be substantially reduced or even eliminated for realistic levels of dominance...
Parasites and the evolution of self-fertilizationA F Agrawal
Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington 47405 3700, USA
Evolution 55:869-79. 2001..In addition, mixed mating, where it exits, tends to be biased toward selfing...
Maternal effects and the evolution of aposematic signalsE D Brodie
Department of Biology, Indiana University, 1001 East 3rd Street, Bloomington, IN 47405 3700, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:7884-7. 2001..Furthermore, the first individual carrying the new mutation will produce an entire family of aposematic offspring, thereby providing an immediate fitness advantage to this gene...
Developmental interactions and the constituents of quantitative variationJ B Wolf
Department of Biology and Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior, Indiana University, Bloomington 47405 6801, USA
Evolution 55:232-45. 2001..Our model suggests that an understanding of multivariate evolution can be considerably enriched by knowledge of the mechanistic basis of character development...
Possible consequences of genes of major effect: transient changes in the G-matrixA F Agrawal
Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington 47405-3700, USA
Genetica 112:33-43. 2001....
Kin recognition and the evolution of altruismA F Agrawal
Department of Biology and Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior, Indiana University, 1001 East 3rd Street, Bloomington, IN 47405-3700, USA
Proc Biol Sci 268:1099-104. 2001..e. alternative forms of non-recognizers). Factors affecting the level of these error rates themselves, their evolution and their long-term stability are discussed...
The evolution of plastic recombinationAneil F Agrawal
Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Genetics 171:803-12. 2005..In contrast, the evolution of plastic recombination in diploids is much more restricted. Selection on plasticity requires the ability to detect DNA damage or cis-trans effects as may occur through maternal effects on fitness...
Similarity selection and the evolution of sex: revisiting the red queenAneil F Agrawal
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
PLoS Biol 4:e265. 2006..Though parasites alone may not provide a complete explanation for sex, the results presented here expand the potential for parasites to contribute to the maintenance of sex rather than act against it...
Assortative mating for fitness and the evolution of recombinationAlistair Blachford
Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Boulevard, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada
Evolution 60:1337-43. 2006....
Evolution of sex: why do organisms shuffle their genotypes?Aneil F Agrawal
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto, 25 Harbord Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 3G5
Curr Biol 16:R696-704. 2006..Ultimately, we need to identify which evolutionary forces--for example, selection, genetic drift, migration--are responsible for building the associations affected by sex...
Host-parasite coevolution and selection on sex through the effects of segregationAneil F Agrawal
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto, 25 Harbord Street, Toronto, Ontario M5S 3G5, Canada
Am Nat 168:617-29. 2006..In cases where segregation and recombination act in opposite directions, we found that the effects of segregation dominate as an evolutionary force acting on sex in diploids...
Mating density and the strength of sexual selection against deleterious alleles in Drosophila melanogasterNathaniel P Sharp
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto, 25 Harbord Street, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5S 3G5
Evolution 62:857-67. 2008..In most cases, sexual selection is as strong or stronger than these other forms of selection...
Estimating nonlinear selection gradients using quadratic regression coefficients: double or nothing?John R Stinchcombe
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Centre for the Analysis of Genome Evolution and Function, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3B2, Canada
Evolution 62:2435-40. 2008..Proper treatment of quadratic regression coefficients is necessary for estimation of fitness surfaces and contour plots, canonical analysis of the gamma matrix, and modeling the evolution of populations on an adaptive landscape...
