OCBIL theory: towards an integrated understanding of the evolution, ecology and conservation of biodiversity on old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (2009, background): “Concepts of natural selection and the origin of species crystallised through Darwin’s observations on the volcanic YODFELs of the Galapagos Islands (Grant and Grant 2008).”
The Newest Synthesis: Understanding the Interplay of Evolutionary and Ecological Dynamics (2011, background): “” This was supplanted half a century later by Grant and Grant’s (2): “Nothing in evolutionary biology makes sense except in the light of ecology.”
Host-parasite ecology, behavior and genetics: a review of the introduced fly parasite Philornis downsi and its Darwin’s finch hosts (2016, background): “these behaviors [6, 52], which remains to be tested.”
The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “Grant & Grant (2006) reported spectacular changes in beak size over a 40-year period (for a detailed review, see Grant & Grant 2008).”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “Field studies of natural selection (e.g., Grant and Grant 2006), sometimes experimental (e.g., Losos et al. 2006), are testing the hypothesis that interspeciﬁc interactions drive adaptive diversiﬁcation in adaptive radiations.”
Ecological Opportunity and Adaptive Radiation (2016, methodology): “Additional examples include Galápagos finches (Grant & Grant 2008), Hawaiian lobeliads (Givnish et al. 2009), African Rift Lake cichlids (Seehausen 2006), Hawaiian spiders (Gillespie 2004, 2015), Sulawesi silversides (Pfaender et al. 2010), and Caribbean Anolis lizards (Losos 2009).”
Ecology of plant speciation (2010, neutral): “Grant, P.R. 1972.”
Ecological opportunity and the origin of adaptive radiations (2010, background): “Key innovations that indirectly increase the probability of speciation in this manner will often be ‘magic’ traits with functions related both to survival and to mate choice or attraction (e.g. the beaks of Galapagos finches; Grant & Grant, 2008).”
Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “…of plumage coloration, explicable as adaptations to local environments, are perhaps unlikely to represent barriers to interbreeding, whereas the opposite will be true of differences in characters related to courtship or species recognition (Marler 1957, Konishi 1970, Grant & Grant 1997, 2008).”
Adaptive Radiation: Contrasting Theory with Data (2009, background): “Different evolutionary factors allowing the populations to take advantage of new ecological opportunity have been emphasized, including genetic drift in small founder or peripheral populations ( 9 ), relaxed ( 9 ) or strong selection ( 2 , 10 ), and hybridization ( 11 , 12 ).”
Hybridization and the species problem in conservation (2015, methodology): “We will not attempt a thorough review (see Coyne and Orr, 2004; Bolnick and Fitzpatrick, 2007; Grant and Grant, 2008; Price, 2008; Fitzpatrick, 2012; Abbott et al., 2013).”
