Reverse evolution of armor plates in the threespine sticklebackJun Kitano
Division of Human Biology, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA 98109, USA
Curr Biol 18:769-74. 2008..The Lake Washington stickleback thus provides a novel example of reverse evolution, which is probably caused by a change in allele frequency at the major plate locus in response to a changing predation regime...- Predictable patterns of disruptive selection in stickleback in postglacial lakesDaniel I Bolnick
Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA
Am Nat 172:1-11. 2008..These results suggest that it may be possible to anticipate the kinds of environments and populations most likely to experience disruptive selection... - Behavioural genetics: evolutionary fingerprint of the 'invisible hand'Daniel I Bolnick

Comparative support for the niche variation hypothesis that more generalized populations also are more heterogeneousDaniel I Bolnick
Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:10075-9. 2007..Our results suggest that generalist populations may tend to be more ecologically variable. Whether this translates into greater genetic variation, evolvability, or ecological stability remains to be determined...- Intraspecific competition drives increased resource use diversity within a natural populationRichard Svanback

Evolution 59:1754-67. 2005..However, between-group comparisons require more careful molecular-clock calibration than has been the norm... - Multi-species outcomes in a common model of sympatric speciationDaniel I Bolnick
Integrative Biology, University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station C0930, Austin, TX 78712, USA
J Theor Biol 241:734-44. 2006..However, this polymorphism is stable and does not lead to complete reproductive isolation, suggesting that empirical cases of incipient species pairs may not always end in speciation... - When predators don't eat their prey: nonconsumptive predator effects on prey dynamicsEvan L Preisser
