Altered genotypic and phenotypic frequencies of aphid populations under enriched CO2 and O3 atmospheres (2005, background): “By evaluating genotypic and phenotypic frequencies (i.e. the proportion of each genotype and phenotype out of the total population of genotypes and phenotypes; Conner & Hartl, 2004), it is possible to determine the direction and rate of selection on a trait in a population.”
Natural selection on common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) by a community of specialized insect herbivores (2005, background): “Selection gradients measure the strength of direct, adaptive selection, after correcting for correlations among measured traits (Conner and Hartle, 2004) .”
Epigenetics for ecologists. (2007, background): “Ecological genetics is the study of genetic processes in an ecological context, i.e. of the interplay between heritable genetic variation in ecologically important traits, ecological interactions and mechanisms of evolutionary change in natural populations (Ford 1964; Conner & Hartl 2004).”
The role of molecular genetics in sculpting the future of integrative biogeography (2008, background): “…is a new term, but its gestalt bears the synthetic hallmarks of evolutionary and biogeographic classics (e.g., Mayr, 1942, 1963; Carlquist, 1965), island biogeography theory (MacArthur and Wilson, 1967), phylogeography (Avise, 2000), and population genetics (e.g., Conner and Hartl, 2004).”
Toward a “Quantitative Genetic” Approach to Lithic Variation (2015, background): “However, in contemporary biology, the framework that explicitly reconciles these multiple difficulties is referred to as “quantitative genetics” (Conner and Hartl 2004; Falconer 1960; Roff 1997).”
Underappreciated Consequences of Phenotypic Plasticity for Ecological Speciation (2012, background): “I believe I have followed recent convention in all cases [39, 40].”
Evolution in a Community Context: Trait Responses to Multiple Species Interactions* (2018, methodology): “For quantitative traits, the genetic variance-covariance matrix (the G matrix; Conner and Hartl 2004; Hine and Blows 2006) summarizes the relationships between multiple quantitative traits and thus their potential for evolutionary change.”
Soils as agents of selection: feedbacks between plants and soils alter seedling survival and performance (2010, methodology): “Heritability was calculated for each performance variable and was considered to be significant when the log-likelihood tests indicated significant differences among families within each soil type (Conner and Hartl 2004).”
Contemporary evolution, allelic recycling, and adaptive radiation of the threespine stickleback (2013, background): “The coefficient of dominance (D) describes the degree of genetic dominance (Conner and Hartl, 2004).”
Response of individual components of reproductive phenology to growing season length in a monocarpic herb (2011, background): “Individuals from all five populations were included to expand the phenotypic distribution and enhance the ability to detect selection (Wade & Kalisz 1990; Conner & Hartl 2004).”
Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “The field of ecological genetics (e.g. Conner & Hartl 2004) is also providing new opportunities.”
Adaptive vs. neutral genetic diversity: implications for landscape genetics (2006, methodology): “Hence the alleles at a locus do not affect each other’s expression or the expression of alleles at other loci (Conner and Hartl 2004).”
Post-compiler software optimization for reducing energy (2014, background): “This equation decomposes the effect of natural selection into measurable phenotypic traits by regressing phenotypic traits β against ﬁtness [12, Chpt. 4].”
Genetic variation in productivity of foundation riparian species at the edge of their distribution: implications for restoration and assisted migration in a warming climate (2011, methodology): “Population differentiation, heritability, and regression analyses Variation in ANPP across populations of each species was tested using restricted maximum likelihood (REML; Conner & Hartl, 2004).”
Phenotypic plasticity rather than locally adapted ecotypes allows the invasive alligator weed to colonize a wide range of habitats (2007, unknown): “By this integrated approach, the population differentiation pattern can be characterized both in quantitative traits and in neutral molecular loci (Conner and Hartl 2004).”
