• A paradox of trout invasions in North America (2008, background): “The first principles of evolutionary biology indicate that if species are shaped by natural selection to fit their environment, then they should be better adapted to cope with local conditions in their native range than nonnative species that are introduced (Endler 1986; Poff et al. 1997).”
• Repeatability and heritability of exploratory behaviour in great tits from the wild (2002, background): “Phenotypic selection will have evolutionary consequences only when the phenotypic variation is heritable (Fisher 1930; Endler 1986).”
• “How Local Is Local?”—A Review of Practical and Conceptual Issues in the Genetics of Restoration (2005, background): “Key words: ecotype, local adaptation, outbreeding depression, restoration, seed zones.”
• Experimental alteration of DNA methylation affects the phenotypic plasticity of ecologically relevant traits in Arabidopsis thaliana (2010, background): “Therefore, the ability of plant populations to adapt to local habitat conditions or environmental change critically depends on the presence of genetic variation (Endler 1986; Falconer and Mackay 1996; Linhart and Grant 1996); without genetic variation, evolutionary change and adaptation are impossib”
• Phenotypic integration in plants (2002, background): “Using regression, it is possible to estimate selection on an individual trait while simultaneously accounting for multiple traits that may influence fitness (Lande & Arnold 1983; Endler 1986).”
• Phenotype management: a new approach to habitat restoration (2003, background): “This idea is often referred to as ‘‘phenotypic selection’’ and does not require genetic variation (e.g. Endler, 1986).”
• Contingency and determinism in evolution: Replaying life’s tape (2018, background): “The realization that natural selection can produce rapid evolutionary change ( 93 – 96 ) opened the door to evolution experiments in nature.”
• Body melanization and its adaptive role in thermoregulation and tolerance against desiccating conditions in drosophilids (2008, background): “Clinal patterns result due to continuous changes in traits over large geographical areas and are generally interpreted as the action of natural selection on phenotypic traits (Endler 1986).”
• Selection, Drift, and the “Forces” of Evolution* (2004, background): “Biologists who criticize the force analogy include Endler (1986). their ‘biasing effects’.”
• The evolutionary genetics of personality (2007, background): “Sickle-cell anaemia is a famous textbook case of overdominance, but other examples have rarely been found in nature (Endler, 1986) or in animal experiments (Maynard Smith, 1998).”
• The extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions (2015, background): “For biologists schooled in population genetic or quantitative genetic thinking, the starting point for evolutionary analyses is the selection pressures [94].”
• Population Differentiation and Plastic Responses to Drought Stress in the Generalist Annual Polygonum persicaria (2004, background): “Populations will differentiate if consistent selection pressures cause directional trait changes that erode genetic variation and fix population responses, resulting in locally specialized ecotypes (Endler 1986; McGraw 1987; Van Tienderen 1990; Donohue et al. 2001).”
• Evolutionary Psychology, Meet Developmental Neurobiology: Against Promiscuous Modularity (2000, background): “And selection occurs only when three conditions are met: (1) there must be variation in traits; (2) this variation must produce fitness differences; and (3) the variation must beheritable (Endler, 1986; Ridley, 1996; Futuyma, 1998).”
• The Quality of Students' Use of Evidence in Written Scientific Explanations (2005, methodology): “Drawing from professional descriptions of the theory of natural selection (Endler, 1986; Grant, 1986; Mayr, 1988), we articulated a structural scheme that includes four major components of an explanation by natural selection: (a) the (changed) factor in the environment exerting selective pressure on”
• Temporal and microspatial variation in the intensities of natural and sexual selection in the yellow dung fly Scathophaga stercoraria (2000, methodology): “Studies of sexual selection have often concentrated only on pattern rather than processes, so the mechanisms responsible and the effects on the population often remain obscure (Endler, 1986; Wade & Kalisz, 1990; Rowe et al., 1994).”
• More on how and why: cause and effect in biology revisited (2013, background): “Except in the case of direct coevolutionary interactions (e.g. predator–prey, host–parasite), evolutionary biologists have generally been content to study the evolution of each focal species in isolation, often content to demonstrate the mere occurrence of natural selection (Endler 1986).”
• Body size evolution in insects with different colouration strategies: the role of predation risk (2009, neutral): “Assuming that body size is evolutionarily stable, these advantages should be counterbalanced with opposing selective factors (Endler 1986, Stearns 1992, Blanckenhorn 2000, Roff 2002).”
• Complex Adaptations and the Evolution of Evolvability (2005, background): “Perhaps the most common and long lasting form of selection experienced by any species is stabilizing selection (Endler, 1986).”
