Genotype-by-Environment Interaction and Plasticity: Exploring Genomic Responses of Plants to the Abiotic Environment (2013, background): “…responses to selection depends on the direction of selection on traits relative to the genetic correlation (either reinforcing or antagonistic; Etterson & Shaw 2001), the frequencies of G×E effect architectures underlying the correlation (antagonistic pleiotropy, differential sensitivity,…”
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE (2005, background): “—Frank and McNaughton (1991) found increased stability of community composition at higher species richness in Yellowstone grasslands, though theory predicts the opposite (May 1974, Tilman 1999, Tilman et al.”
Predicting climate‐induced range shifts: model differences and model reliability (2006, background): “However, for many species, evolutionary change will likely lag far behind climate change (Peters & Darling, 1985; Etterson & Shaw, 2001 ).”
Competitive relationships of Andropogon gerardii (Big Bluestem) from remnant and restored native populations and select cultivated varieties (2004, background): “Maladapted genotypes may reduce fecundity, germination rates and survivorship, thus negatively affecting population dynamics directly through reduced fitness and indirectly by crossing with native ecotypes (Newman & Pilson 1997; Etterson & Shaw 2001; Gustafson et al . 2002).”
Niche Conservatism: Integrating Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation Biology (2005, background): “Similarly, Etterson & Shaw (2001) have presented evidence that adaptation to warmer climatic regimes is slowed by genetic correlations among traits that are antagonistic to the direction of selection.”
Assisted colonization: Integrating conservation strategies in the face of climate change (2011, background): “While correlations among traits that coincide with the joint direction of selection may facilitate a rapid response of multiple traits to selection pressures imposed by environmental change, antagonistic correlation among traits may prevent simultaneous adaptation in more than one trait, making loca”
Projecting global marine biodiversity impacts under climate change scenarios (2009, background): “Also, there is little theoretical or experimental evidence that absolute tolerances to climate change of a species will evolve sufficiently to conserve its distribution range (Etterson and Shaw 2001; Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2002; Donner et al. 2005; Jump and Peñuelas 2005; Parmesan 2006).”
Spatial and interspecific variability in phenological responses to warming temperatures (2009, background): “However, groups of species may vary in their responses to climatic variation across a wide geographical range due to genetic and environmental variation (Davis and Shaw, 2001; Etterson and Shaw, 2001).”
Running to stand still: adaptation and the response of plants to rapid climate change. (2005, background): “…studies of plant adaptation to rapid warming show that the strong selection pressure that this imposes may also result in high levels of inbreeding and steep declines in plant fitness (Billington & Pelham 1991; Lynch & Lande 1993; Potvin & Tousignant 1996; Etterson & Shaw 2001; Etterson 2004a,b).”
Predicting adaptation of phenology in response to climate change, an insect herbivore example (2007, background): “Even if sufficient genetic variation exists, genetic correlations between traits may limit a response, as seems to be the case in for instance a prairie plant (Chamaecrista fasciculata) (Etterson & Shaw, 2001).”
Evolutionary responses of natives to introduced species: what do introductions tell us about natural communities? (2006, background): “Both genetic correlations between traits in a single environment and between fitness in different environments have been shown to slow rates of evolution in response to novel ecological threats such as global climate change (Etterson & Shaw 2001; Etterson 2004).”
