Genetics in geographically structured populations: defining, estimating and interpreting FST (2009, background): “If the trait is selectively neutral, if all genetic variation is additive and if the mutation rates at loci contributing to the trait are the same as those at other loci, we expect Q ST and F ST to be equa”
Phylogeography's past, present, and future: 10 years after Avise, 2000. (2010, background): “This could not only include using direct comparisons of quantitative trait variation with neutral genetic variation using Qst—Fst comparisons (McKay and Latta, 2002), but also include looking at eco-physiological trait differentiation and selection across geographic or climatic gradients…”
Land ahead: using genome scans to identify molecular markers of adaptive relevance (2008, background): “However, while neutral markers are appropriate to study whole-genome processes such as gene flow, it is evident that genetic variation at neutral loci is not indicative of adaptive genetic variation (Merila and Crnokrak 2001; Reed and Frankham 2001; McKay and Latta 2002; Holderegger et al. 2006; b”
Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “Trees commonly combine substantial genetic differentiation at quantitative traits (QST) with little differentiation at molecular markers (FST) (McKay & Latta 2002).”
GENETIC ISOLATION BY ENVIRONMENT OR DISTANCE: WHICH PATTERN OF GENE FLOW IS MOST COMMON? (2014, background): “These studies highlight the discordant patterns exhibited by neutral and nonneutral genetic markers (Mckay and Latta 2002).”
The Biology of Invasions: The Genetic Adaptation Paradox (2006, background): “Unfortunately molecular genetic markers appear to be poor indicators of heritable variation in adaptative traits (McKay and Latta 2002); moreover not all species must show high levels of genetic variability in order to be well adapted to their environment.”
Inheritance and Natural Selection on Functional Traits (2003, background): “In columnar cacti of the genus Echinops, spines are only a weak deterrent to birds that disperse the seeds of parasitic mistletoes to cacti, and this is in only one out of two Echinops species (Medel 2000).”
Half a century of genetic interaction between farmed and wild Atlantic salmon: Status of knowledge and unanswered questions (2017, neutral): “This may leave weak footprints on each of the loci involved, even though the phenotypic effects are strong (McKay & Latta, 2002; Pritchard & Di Rienzo, 2010).”
Invasive plant species are locally adapted just as frequently and at least as strongly as native plant species (2016, background): “Neutral molecular markers likely underestimate variation in fitness-related traits that is acted upon by natural selection (Barrett & Richardson 1986; Reed & Frankham 2001; McKay & Latta 2002).”
Introduction: Population Biology, Evolution, and Control of Invasive Species (2003, background): “and Control of Invasive Species”
Reconstructing routes of invasion using genetic data: why, how and so what? (2010, methodology): “Another solution involves carrying out QST–FST analysis (McKay & Latta 2002).”
What is the fitness outcome of crossing unrelated fish populations? A meta-analysis and an evaluation of future research directions (2007, background): “Genetic distances based on neutral molecular markers likely reflect population demographic processes within each species, rather than divergence in fitness traits ( McKay and Latta 2002 ), and betweenspecies comparisons of genetic distance may be uninformative.”
