Population Genomics of Parallel Adaptation in Threespine Stickleback using Sequenced RAD Tags (2010, background): “In contrast, the region at the distal end of LG VII previously associated with the pelvic structure phenotype, specifically containing the Pitx1 gene [79,95,99], did not correspond to elevated levels of divergence in any of our comparisons.”
Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses (2008, background): “Nevertheless, as exemplified by several recent studies in other contexts (e.g. Abzhanov et al. 2004; Colosimo et al. 2004; Shapiro et al. 2004; Abzhanov et al. 2006; Hanski & Saccheri 2006), functional polymorphisms with known ecological relevance are becoming uncovered with increasing pace.”

Integration and Evolvability in Primate Hands and Feet (2009, background): “This measure of evolvability is unique to each direction in multivariate phenotypic space, and evolvability is thus different for each b. For example, multivariate evolvability is highest when b points in the direction of the eigenvectors of the VCV matrix, ( Schluter 1996; Marroig and Cheverud 200”
Evo‐Devo and an Expanding Evolutionary Synthesis (2008, background): “…functional coding changes have been ruled out and functional cis-regulatory sequence changes have been implicated (Stern, 1998; Sucena et al., 2003; Shapiro et al., 2004, 2006; Colosimo et al., 2005; Steiner et al., 2007; Miller et al., 2007) or directly demonstrated at the molecular level (for…”
Combining population genomics and quantitative genetics: finding the genes underlying ecologically important traits (2008, methodology): “Nonetheless, a small but growing number of exceptions exist (e.g., Johanson et al., 2000; El-Assal et al., 2001; Shapiro et al., 2004; Colosimo et al., 2005; Balasubramanian et al., 2006; Protas et al., 2006), suggesting that QTL mapping is a feasible method of identifying the genes for ecologically”
Molecular mechanisms of heavy metal tolerance and evolution in invertebrates (2009, background): “However, the evolutionary process of adaptive transcriptional regulation in a clear ecological framework (i.e., with knowledge about a causative agent in the environment) has only been clarified in a few cases (Shapiro et al., 2004; Gompel et al., 2005; Rockman et al., 2005).”
The end of regressive evolution: examining and interpreting the evidence from cave fishes. (2005, background): “Explanations range from the perspective of conservative ancestral characters and paedomorphism in salamanders (Collazo & Marks, 1994) to exploring mechanisms of arrested development underlying limb loss in whales and other vertebrates (Bejder & Hall, 2002; Shapiro et al., 2004).”
The evolutionary significance of cis-regulatory mutations (2007, background): “During the last glacial retreat (∼10,000–20,000 years ago), hundreds of these populations were isolated in newly formed lakes, where they have independently adapted to a diversity of local environmental conditions from a common ancestral marine for”
