NATURAL SELECTION AND RANDOM GENETIC DRIFT IN PHENOTYPIC EVOLUTION
- R. Lande
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 June 1976
In discussions of the major features of evolution, Simpson (1953) applied population genetic models to the interpretation of the fossil record. Most population genetics theory concentrates on details… Expand
Assessing Extinction Threats: Toward a Reevaluation of IUCN Threatened Species Categories
IUCN categories of threat (Endangered Vulnera- ble, Rare, Indeterminate, and others) are widely used in 'Red lists' of endangered species and have become an important tool in conservation action at… Expand
Extinction Thresholds in Demographic Models of Territorial Populations
- R. Lande
- Biology
- The American Naturalist
- 1 October 1987
A basic demographic model is constructed for territorial species in a region where patches of habitat suitable for survival and reproduction are randomly (or evenly) interspersed with patches of… Expand
Mutation and Conservation
- R. Lande
- Biology
- 1 August 1995
Mutation can critically affect the viability of small populations by causing inbreeding depression, by maintaining potentially adaptive genetic variation in quantitative characters, and through the… Expand
EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS OF LIMB LOSS IN TETRAPODS
- R. Lande
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 March 1978
Loss of limbs is one of the most extreme morphological changes in the history of tetrapods, yet it has evolved repeatedly in amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. For none of these groups is… Expand
A Population Viability Analysis for African Elephant (Loxodonta africana): How Big Should Reserves Be?
- P. Armbruster, R. Lande
- Biology
- 1 September 1993
We present an age-structured, density-dependent model of elephant population dynamics in a fluctuating environment, drawing primarily upon the life history parameters obtained from studies in… Expand
STATISTICAL TESTS FOR NATURAL SELECTION ON QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS
- R. Lande
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 June 1977
Evolutionary biologists tend to ascribe phenotypic changes in populations to natural selection. Plausible hypotheses are regularly offered to explain how certain features of an organism are adaptive… Expand
Mechanisms of rapid sympatric speciation by sex reversal and sexual selection in cichlid fish
- R. Lande, O. Seehausen, J. J. M. Alphen
- Biology
- 2001
Mechanisms of speciation in cichlid fish were investigated by analyzing population genetic models of sexual selection on sex-determining genes associated with color polymorphisms. The models are… Expand
Molecular genetic and behavioral analysis of social organization in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
- P. Fernando, R. Lande
- Biology
- Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
- 6 June 2000
Abstract We report on the genetic evaluation and behavioral study of social organization in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). Although Asian elephants and African elephants (Loxodonta africana)… Expand
DEPRESSION IN PLANTS. I. GENETIC MODELS
- R. Lande, D. W. Schemske
- Biology
- 1985
Summary. -The amounts of inbreeding depression upon selfing and of heterosis upon outcrossing determine the strength of selection on the selfing rate in a population when this evolves polygenically… Expand
