Molecular signatures of resource competition: clonal interference drives the emergence of ecotypes
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2020
It is found that large mutational inputs can foster diversification under sympatry, increasing the probability that phenotypically and genetically distinct clusters arise and stably coexist, constituting an initial form of community.

Analysis of genetic diversity in a close population of Zandi sheep using genealogical information
- BiologyJournal of Genetics
- 2010
In a Fisher–Wright idealized population (Fisher 1930; Wright 1931), characterized by Poisson distribution of family size, large number of breeders, random mating, equal sex ratio, absence of…
On the change of population fitness by natural selection2 3
- BiologyHeredity
- 1958
A general equation for the role of additive, dominance, and epistatic components of fitness in determining the rate of change in population fitness is given and claims that this law should hold the same position among the biological sciences as the second law of thermodynamics in physical sciences.
Phenotypic plasticity
- Biology
- 2019
The concept of plasticity will only prove useful when it comes to shedding light on ancient evolutionary issues that have until now remained unresolved, according to the idea Pigliucci proposes.
J.B.S. Haldane (1892–1964)
- ArtA Century of Geneticists
- 2018
In view of the leadership of J.B.S. Haldane, the chief architect who formulated the “malaria hypothesis,” it is of interest to review his contributions to genetics briefly, especially to the aspects…
How does epistasis influence the response to selection?
- BiologyHeredity
- 2017
A review of evidence on selection strength suggests that although most variance in fitness may be because of alleles with large Nes, substantial amounts of adaptation may be due to alleles in the infinitesimal regime, in which epistasis has modest effects.
Sex-specific early survival drives adult sex ratio bias in snowy plovers and impacts mating system and population growth
- Environmental Science, BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2017
A detailed individual-based demographic analysis of an intensively studied wild bird population to evaluate origins of sex biases and their consequences on mating strategies and population dynamics suggests sex-biased early survival may contribute toward mating system evolution and population persistence.

The semiforked modifier rarely produces any visible effect when homozygous unless the forked gene is present, so it is unlikely that heterozygous forked flies are affected.
