THE EVOLUTION OF EUSOCIALITY (2010, background): “Moreover, Wolf and Wade (2001) have shown that the inclusive fitness approach of counting offspring viability as a component of maternal fitness can lead to a mistaken understanding of the direction of selection.”
Transgenerational plasticity and environmental stress: do paternal effects act as a conduit or a buffer? (2016, background): “Crucially, maternal effects are not always adaptive for offspring, rather a maternal effect may increase or decrease offspring fitness depending on a complex set of interacting factors (Wolf & Wade 2001; Marshall & Uller 2007).”
Adaptive parental effects: the importance of estimating environmental predictability and offspring fitness appropriately (2014, background): “Parental effects affect the fitness of both parents and offspring, but offspring fitness is typically assigned to the parent (Wolf and Wade 2001, Wilson et al. 2005, Marshall and Uller 2007).”
Estimating genetic parameters in natural populations using the "animal model". (2004, background): “…effects may ultimately provide better estimates of an individual’s genetic contribution to future generations, and hence of selection on different phenotypic traits (see discussion in Grafen 1988; Charlesworth 1994; van Tienderen 2000; Wolf & Wade 2001; Brommer et al. 2002; Coulson et al. 2004).”
Maternal effects and evolution at ecological time‐scales (2007, methodology): “Incorporating such effects into a predictive quantitative genetic framework will require careful specification of a suitable selection model (Kirkpatrick & Lande 1989), with appropriate assignment of individual phenotype and fitness to mother vs. offspring (Wolf & Wade 2001).”
The fitness costs of adaptation via phenotypic plasticity and maternal effects (2014, background): “We assume therefore that the phenotypes in previous generations contribute to the current phenotype under selection and so the fitness is assigned to the current generation (Wolf & Wade 2001).”
The evolution of parental care in insects: the roles of ecology, life history and the social environment (2013, background): “When studying how the social environment influences costs and benefits of parental care, we have to consistently partition fitness components between parents and offspring (Wolf & Wade, 2001; see Smiseth et al ., 2012 for a review).”
