    • Evolvability A Unifying Concept in Evolutionary Biology? 

      Hansen, Thomas Fredrik; Houle, David; Pavlicev, Mihaela; Pelabon, Christophe (Book, 2023)
      Essays on evolvability from the perspectives of quantitative and population genetics, evolutionary developmental biology, systems biology, macroevolution, and the philosophy of science. Evolvability—the capability of ...

    • Evolvability and trait function predict phenotypic divergence of plant populations 

      Opedal, Øystein Hjorthol; Armbruster, Scott; Hansen, Thomas Fredrik; Holstad, Agnes; Pelabon, Christophe; Andersson, Stefan; Campbell, Diane R.; Caruso, Christina M.; Delph, Lynda F.; Eckert, Christopher G.; Lankinen, Åsa; Walter, Greg M.; Ågren, Jon; Bolstad, Geir Hysing (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Understanding the causes and limits of population divergence in phenotypic traits is a fundamental aim of evolutionary biology, with the potential to yield predictions of adaptation to environmental change. Reciprocal ...

    • Evolvability predicts macroevolution under fluctuating selection 

      Holstad, Agnes; Voje, Kjetil L.; Opedal, Øystein Hjorthol; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Bourg, Salome Cassandra Sarah; Hansen, Thomas Fredrik; Pelabon, Christophe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Heritable variation is a prerequisite for evolutionary change, but the relevance of genetic constraints on macroevolutionary timescales is debated. By using two datasets on fossil and contemporary taxa, we show that ...

    • Quantitative assessment of observed versus predicted responses to selection 

      Pelabon, Christophe; Albertsen, Elena; Le Rouzic, Arnaud; Firmat, Cyril; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Armbruster, W. Scott; Hansen, Thomas Fredrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Although artificial-selection experiments seem well suited to testing our ability to predict evolution, the correspondence between predicted and observed responses is often ambiguous due to the lack of uncertainty estimates. ...
