Under niche construction: an operational bridge between ecology, evolution, and ecosystem science (2014, background): “In general, it is much easier to measure the strength and form of natural selection (Hoekstra et al. 2001, Siepielski et al. 2009) than to determine the underlying causes (i.e., agents; Wade and Kalisz 1990, MacColl 2011) and eventual outcomes (Barrett and Hoekstra 2011).”
Communication in troubled waters: responses of fish communication systems to changing environments (2011, background): “In addition, spatial and temporal variation in natural and sexual selection is expected to be strong (Siepeilski et al. 2009; Svanback et al. 2009) and can thus have strong influences on the evolution of genetic and plastic variation.”
(Non)Parallel Evolution (2018, background): “Finally, natural selection fluctuates over time in nature (Siepielski et al. 2009).”
Synthetic analyses of phenotypic selection in natural populations: lessons, limitations and future directions (2012, methodology): “1, 2), sampling error can contribute substantially to variation in selection estimates, especially in studies with small sample sizes (e.g., Siepielski et al. 2009; Siepielski et al. 2011; Hersch and Phillips 2004; Kingsolver et al. 2001).”
Evolution in a Community Context: Trait Responses to Multiple Species Interactions* (2018, background): “Aspects of the environment are well known to alter selection (Kingsolver et al. 2001; Siepielski et al. 2009), and envi- ronmentally dependent selection is described by genotype# environment interactions for fitness (usually an environmentally dependent regression of fitness on a trait).”
Comparing rates of contemporary evolution in life-history traits for exploited fish stocks (2012, background): “Siepielski et al. (2009), in a meta-analysis of 5519 493 selection estimates from wild populations, found that strong selection is present, but rarely 494 sustained, and change in direction is common, which will lead to evolutionary rates that 495 appear to be under random change.”
EARLY BURSTS OF BODY SIZE AND SHAPE EVOLUTION ARE RARE IN COMPARATIVE DATA (2010, background): “For example, oscillating selection might be common in natural populations, such that rapid evolution over short time scales is often by reversals (Gibbs and Grant 1987; Siepielski et al. 2009).”
Climate change, adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity: the problem and the evidence (2014, background): “Note, however, that measuring contemporary selection is not sufficient for inferring past selection – because selection can vary through time (Siepielski et al. 2009; Siepielski et al. 2011).”
Ecological opportunity and the origin of adaptive radiations (2010, background): “The time scale over which selection is measured may also affect assessment of the strength of stabilizing selection; directional selection that fluctuates over short periods (e.g. Grant & Grant, 2002b; Siepielski et al., 2009) may manifest as stabilizing selection over longer periods (Hansen, 1997).”
Fitness landscape of Atlantic cod shaped by harvest selection and natural selection (2011, background): “We also acknowledge that our study is limited in space and time, while selection pressures—natural selection in particular—will vary in space and time, depending on factors such as food availability and predation regime (Grant and Grant 2002; Siepielski et al. 2009; Holmes and McCormick 2010).”
