Diversity and Coevolutionary Dynamics in High-Dimensional Phenotype Spaces
(2017)
We study macroevolutionary dynamics by extending microevolutionary competition models to long timescales. It has been shown that for a general class of competition models, gradual evolutionary change in continuous phenotypes ...
Genetic structure of phenotypic robustness in the collaborative cross mouse diallel panel
(Blackwell Publishing, 2016-09)
Developmental stability and canalization describe the ability of developmental systems to minimize phenotypic variation in the face of stochastic micro-environmental effects, genetic variation and environmental influences. ...
Phenotypic stability of traits associated with fruit quality in butternut squash (cucurbita moschata duch.)
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Facultad de Agronomía, Centro Editorial, 2013)
The aim of this study was to identify and select genotypes with high fruit dry matter, represented by high starches and carotenes, to obtain a cultivar apt for agroindustrial processes. The model of Eberhart and Russell ...
Re-evaluation of antibiotic and mercury resistance in Escherichia coli populations isolated in 1978 from Amazonian rubber tree tappers and Indians
(1999-07-01)
A study was carried out to assess the stability of antimicrobial susceptibility of wild isolates upon long-term storage using fifty-three Escherichia coli strains isolated in 1978 from feces of healthy children from the ...
Experimental evidence that induced defenses promote coexistence of zooplanktonic populations
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
Theoretical predictions suggest that adaptive phenotypic plasticity, and induced
defenses in particular, exert a stabilizing effect on ecological systems and increase
the likelihood of species coexistence. Nonetheless, ...
Evidence of local adaptation and stabilizing selection on quantitative traits in populations of the multipurpose American species Acacia aroma (Fabaceae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-10)
Economically and ecologically important quantitative traits of Acacia aroma are related to life history and the size and shape of fruits and leaves. Substantial variation is observed for these traits in natural populations, ...
Analysis of the consequences of individual adaptive behavior on population stability: The case of optimal foraging Análisis de las consecuencias del comportamiento adaptativo individual sobre la estabilidad poblacional: El caso del forrajeo óptimo
(2010)
Early work based on the Dynamical Systems Theory demonstrates that the larger the number of interacting populations, the system tends to be more unstable. Nevertheless, empirical evidence indicates that natural populations ...
