• The Ecology of Individuals: Incidence and Implications of Individual Specialization (2002, background): “As predicted, discussion of individual variation trailed off in the 1980s but has revived recently with renewed interest in adaptive radiation and ecological speciation (Mousseau et al. 2000; Schluter 2000; Halama and Reznick 2001).”
• Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution (2007, background): “(a ) Intra-species population comparison A classical approach to the study of adaptation in the wild is the comparison of populations living in different environments, and the correlation between population phenotypes and environmental characteristics (Mousseau et al., 2000; Reznick & Travis, 2003).”
• Genetics and extinction (2005, background): “Evolutionary changes have been documented in many species in natural or human affected habitats (Briggs and Walters, 1997; Thompson, 1998; Mousseau et al., 2000; Bradshaw and Holzapfel, 2001; Umina et al., 2005).”
• Paradigm shifts in marine fisheries genetics: ugly hypotheses slain by beautiful facts (2008, background): “Thus, any focus on adaptation in the wild necessitates an evaluation of putative selective pressures and fitness variation (Endler 2000) – both of which are now convincingly integrated with the application of neutral and selected markers (Larsen et al. 2007).”
• Epigenetics for ecologists. (2007, background): “Not only are ecologically important traits often genetically differentiated in natural populations (Linhart & Grant 1996; Mousseau et al. 2000; Merilä & Crnokrak 2001), there is also cumulating evidence that they can evolve rapidly (Thompson 1998; Hairston et al. 2005; Carroll et al. 2007).”
• Repeatability and heritability of exploratory behaviour in great tits from the wild (2002, background): “From an evolutionary perspective, genetic variation in behavioural traits may be adaptive and be maintained by natural selection (Wilson 1998; Foster & Endler 1999; Mousseau et al. 2000).”
