The adaptive landscape as a conceptual bridge between micro- and macroevolution
An adaptive landscape concept outlined by G.G. Simpson constitutes the major conceptual bridge between the fields of micro- and macroevolutionary study. Despite some important theoretical extensions… Expand

STABILITY OF THE G‐MATRIX IN A POPULATION EXPERIENCING PLEIOTROPIC MUTATION, STABILIZING SELECTION, AND GENETIC DRIFT
Abstract. Quantitative genetics theory provides a framework that predicts the effects of selection on a phenotype consisting of a suite of complex traits. However, the ability of existing theory to… Expand

Microsatellite analysis of maternity and the mating system in the Gulf pipefish Syngnathus scovelli, a species with male pregnancy and sex‐role reversal
Highly variable microsatellite loci were employed to study the mating system of the sexually dimorphic Gulf pipefish Syngnathus scovelli. In this species, like others in the family Syngnathidae,… Expand
