Adaptive Radiation: Contrasting Theory with Data
- S. Gavrilets, J. Losos
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 6 February 2009
Biologists have long been fascinated by the exceptionally high diversity displayed by some evolutionary groups. Adaptive radiation in such clades is not only spectacular, but is also an extremely… Expand
Rapid evolution of reproductive barriers driven by sexual conflict
- S. Gavrilets
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 24 February 2000
A growing amount of experimental data indicates extremely rapid evolution of traits and proteins related to fertilization in many diverging taxa. These data come from studies of sperm or pollen… Expand
The evolution of female mate choice by sexual conflict
- S. Gavrilets, G. Arnqvist, U. Friberg
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 7 March 2001
Although empirical evidence has shown that many male traits have evolved via sexual selection by female mate choice, our understanding of the adaptive value of female mating preferences is still very… Expand
PERSPECTIVE: MODELS OF SPECIATION: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED IN 40 YEARS?
- S. Gavrilets
- 2003
Abstract Theoretical studies of speciation have been dominated by numerical simulations aiming to demonstrate that speciation in a certain scenario may occur. What is needed now is a shift in focus… Expand
Dynamic patterns of adaptive radiation.
- S. Gavrilets, A. Vose
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 13 December 2005
Adaptive radiation is defined as the evolution of ecological and phenotypic diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage. When it occurs, adaptive radiation typically follows the colonization of a… Expand

Evolution and speciation on holey adaptive landscapes.
- S. Gavrilets
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 August 1997
Sewall Wright's powerful metaphor of rugged adaptive landscapes has formed the basis for discussing evolution and speciation for more than 60 years. However, this metaphor, with its emphasis on… Expand
The genetics of phenotypic plasticity. V. Evolution of reaction norm shape
- S. Gavrilets, S. Scheiner
- Biology
- 1 January 1993
We present a general quantitative genetic model for the evolution of reaction norms. This model goes beyond previous models by simultaneously permitting any shaped reaction norm and allowing for the… Expand
Sympatric speciation by sexual conflict
- S. Gavrilets, D. Waxman
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 29 July 2002
It is well established that sexual conflict can drive an endless coevolutionary chase between the sexes potentially leading to genetic divergence of isolated populations and allopatric speciation. We… Expand
Linking the emergence of fungal plant diseases with ecological speciation.
- T. Giraud, P. Gladieux, S. Gavrilets
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 July 2010
Emerging diseases represent a growing worldwide problem accompanying global environmental changes. There is tremendous interest in identifying the factors controlling the appearance and spread of… Expand
