Citations in the corpus
- SCALE AND HIERARCHY IN MACROEVOLUTION (2007, background): “Many mechanisms for stasis have been proposed, and they are probably less mutually exclusive than generally assumed (for additional recent reviews, see Hansen and Houle 2004 and Eldredge et al. 2005).”
- Climatic Risk Atlas of European Butterflies (2008, background): “…on genetic variation (Blows & Hoffmann 2005), to tradeoffs emerging from how organisms are engineered from the gene to the whole phenotype (Hansen & Houle 2004), to the details of demography and spatial movement patterns (Holt & Gaines 1992, Holt 1996, Kawecki 1995), to the nexus of…”
- Measuring and comparing evolvability and constraint in multivariate characters (2008, background): “Hansen & Houle (2004) pointed out that the high evolvability generally implied by high levels of additive genetic variation and high mutation rates may be illusory, as much of the genetic variation may be ‘junk’ caused by alleles with deleterious pleiotropic effects.”
- The Evolution of Genetic Architecture (2006, background): “As discussed above, however, the focus on variation in individual characters ignores pleiotropic constraints, leaving levels of conditional evolvability poorly understood (e.g., Blows & Hoffmann 2005, Hansen & Houle 2004, Galis 1999).”
- Heritability is not Evolvability (2011, background): “Mutational evolvability, the mean-scaled mutational variance generated per generation, may therefore be a more relevant measure of long-term evolutionary potential (Houle et al. 1996; Hansen and Houle 2004).”
- Abundant Genetic Variation + Strong Selection = Multivariate Genetic Constraints: A Geometric View of Adaptation (2009, background): “Hansen & Houle (2004) suggested that such responses might be based on the genetic variance generated by numerous deleterious pleiotropic mutations (“junk” genetic variance) and that most such variation would be unlikely to form the basis of a response to selection in natural populations.”
