The genetics of quantitative traits: challenges and prospects (2009, background): “and understanding genetic constraints on the evolution of natural population”
Behavioral syndromes as evolutionary constraints (2013, background): “Indeed, certain evolutionary responses can be unavailable even when all correlations are <|1| (Roff and Fairbairn 2007; Conner 2012).”
Evolutionary ecology of learning: insights from fruit flies (2009, positive): “Studying such correlated responses to selection is a direct way of addressing evolutionary trade-offs (Roff and Fairbairn 2007).”
Maternal care in a social lizard: links between female aggression and offspring fitness (2008, background): “For example, trade-offs are a key component of evolutionary thought (Roff & Fairbairn 2007).”
Reactive oxygen species as universal constraints in life-history evolution (2009, background): “…neglect the reality that the proximate mechanisms that underlie life-history trade-offs are, in many cases, unknown and might not necessarily be based around a currency involving energy or resource allocation (Råberg et al. 1998; Zera & Harshman 2001; Zuk & Stoehr 2002; Roff & Fairbairn 2007).”
The Challenges of Integrating Oxidative Stress into Life-History Biology (2011, background): “These types of tradeoffs form the basis for life-history theory, the theoretical framework that attempts to explain the ultimate causes of variation in reproductive output, age at maturity, life span, and so forth (Roff 1992, Roff and Fairbairn 2007).”
Living in the now: physiological mechanisms to tolerate a rapidly changing environment. (2010, background): “, to what extent an effective response to one stressor limits the response to another (117), may have a major influence on the capacity of organisms to acclimatize to new environmental conditions.”
Progress and Promise of Genome-Wide Association Studies for Human Complex Trait Genetics (2011, background): “Pleiotropy at the level of individual variants can influence the evolution of traits and populations (Barton and Keightley 2002; Mitchell-Olds et al. 2007; Roff and Fairbairn 2007) through both positive and negative selection.”
Abundant Genetic Variation + Strong Selection = Multivariate Genetic Constraints: A Geometric View of Adaptation (2009, background): “It is important to note that this multivariate definition of genetic constraint removes the need (suggested by Roff & Fairbairn 2007) for maintaining a distinction between absolute and milder genetic constraints.”
New Answers for Old Questions: The Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics of Wild Animal Populations (2008, background): “…which evolutionary ecologists typically assume they will, they must have a genetic basis, requiring the action of either antagonistic pleiotropy or linked genes with antagonistic effects, and the existence of genetic correlations between the traits in question (Lande 1982, Roff & Fairbairn 2007).”
