  • Family wide molecular adaptations to underground life in African mole-rats revealed by phylogenomic analysis 
    Davies, Kalina T.J.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Tsagkogeorga, Georgia; Rossiter, Stephen J.; Faulkes, Christopher G. (Oxford University Press, 2015-12)
    During their evolutionary radiation, mammals have colonized diverse habitats. Arguably the subterranean niche is the most inhospitable of these, characterized by reduced oxygen, elevated carbon dioxide, absence of light, ...
  • Genetic variance in fitness indicates rapid contemporary adaptive evolution in wild animals 
    Bonnet, Timothee; Morrissey, Michael B.; De Villemereuil, Pierre; Alberts, Susan C.; Arcese, Peter; Bailey, Liam D.; Boutin, Stan; Brekke, Patricia; Brent, Lauren J.N.; Camenisch, Glauco; Charmantier, Anne; Clutton-Brock, Tim H.; Cockburn, Andrew; Coltman, David W.; Courtiol, Alexandre; Davidian, Eve; Evans, Simon R.; Ewen, John G.; Festa-Bianchet, Marco; De Franceschi, Christophe; Gustafsson, Lars; Honer, Oliver P.; Houslay, Thomas M.; Keller, Lukas F.; Manser, Marta B.; McAdam, Andrew G.; McLean, Emily; Nietlisbach, Pirmin; Osmond, Helen L.; Pemberton, Josephine M.; Postma, Erik; Reid, Jane M.; Rutschmann, Alexis; Santure, Anna W.; Sheldon, Ben C.; Slate, Jon; Teplitsky, Celine; Visser, Marcel E.; Wachter, Bettina; Kruuk, Loeske E.B. (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022-05)
    The rate of adaptive evolution, the contribution of selection to genetic changes that increase mean fitness, is determined by the additive genetic variance in individual relative fitness. To date, there are few robust ...
