• Synthetic analyses of phenotypic selection in natural populations: lessons, limitations and future directions (2012, background): “…analyses emphasize the important limitations of applying the breeder's equation to predicting evolution in natural populations, because of the complex associations among phenotypes, genotypes and environments in natural settings (Kruuk et al. 2008; Hadfield et al. 2010; Morrissey et al. 2010).”
• Eco-evolutionary dynamics (2016, background): “…eco-evolutionary dynamics was caused by the need to first develop simple and robust ways to measure selection (Lande 1982; Lande & Arnold 1983), fitness (Clutton-Brock 1991; McGraw & Caswell 1996; Coulson et al. 2006b) and genetic variance for fitness-related traits (Kruuk 2004; Kruuk et al. 2008).”
• Climate change, adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity: the problem and the evidence (2014, background): “Given these difficulties, it is perhaps not surprising that predicted and observed evolutionary responses are often (although not always) poorly matched in natural populations (Meril€a et al. 2001; Kruuk et al. 2008).”
• Building evolutionary resilience for conserving biodiversity under climate change (2010, background): “Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment 1:469–478.”
• Tread Lightly Interpreting Polygenic Tests of Selection (2018, background): “This problem may not be idiosyncratic – many studies in natural populations have seen a disconnect between measured fitness differentials and observed phenotypic outcomes (Kruuk et al. 2008).”
