Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses (2008, background): “For instance, unrealistic selection response expectations could result from overestimated heritabilities due to spatial or temporal auto-correlation of environmental effects among relatives (e.g. van der Jeugd & McCleery 2002).”
Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “…about the genetics of autumn migration (Pulido et al. 2001, Pulido & Widmer 2005) and most other phenological and life-history traits (e.g. van der Jeugd & McCleery 2002, Réale et al. 2003, Sheldon et al. 2003, Charmantier et al. 2006)—then selection for advanced arrival time caused by climate…”
Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “Heritabilities suggest substantial potential for the evolution of seasonal timing (Helm & Gwinner 1999, 2001; Merilä & Sheldon 2001; Pulido & Berthold 2003; Sheldon et al. 2003; but see van der Jeugd & McCleery 2002).”
Local adaptation of timing of reproduction: females are in the driver's seat (2009, unknown): “It is also along the line of previously documented higher repeatability and/or heritability of egg laying dates in female great tits (Parus major) compared to males (van Noordwijk et al. 1981; van der Jeugd & McCleery 2002; Gienapp et al. 2006; but see Newton & Marquiss 1984).”
