• Estimating genetic parameters in natural populations using the "animal model". (2004, methodology): “Moreover, deteriorating environmental conditions may actually increase the magnitude of selection on a trait (Milner et al. 1999; Merilä et al. 2001a; McAdam & Boutin 2003b; Coulson et al. 2003), increasing the likelihood of a microevolutionary response to selection.”
• Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, methodology): “…reason, this method has provided new insight into the process of natural selection in wild populations by detecting cryptic evolutionary change (Merilä et al., 2001a), and the cause for the lack of evolutionary change in the presence of additive genetic variation and selection (Kruuk et al.,…”
• Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses (2008, methodology): “…for detailed discussion), but there is also substantial evidence to indicate that one of the main reasons might be the frequent violation of the assumption that the environment has remained constant over generations (Cooke et al. 1990; Cooch et al. 1991; Merilä et al. 2001a; Garant et al. 2004a).”
• RESTITUTION OF MASS–SIZE RESIDUALS: VALIDATING BODY CONDITION INDICES (2005, background): “…of residuals as indices of condition (e.g., mammals: Dobson et al. 1999, Fisher 1999; birds: Schluter and Gustafsson 1993, Weatherhead et al. 1999, Merilä et al. 2001; amphibians: Judge and Brooks 2001; reptiles: Weatherhead et al. 1995, Shine et al. 2001), it is critical that assumptions and…”
