Eco‐evolutionary dynamics in fragmented landscapes (2017, unknown): “Hanski and Gaggiotti (2004) modified the famous quotation by Dobzhansky (1973) to read ‘Nothing (or little) makes sense in ecology and evolution without a spatial perspective’.”
Individual heterogeneity and capture–recapture models: what, why and how? (2018, background): “The development of evolutionary biology as a powerful conceptual and methodological framework for biological disciplines (Dobzhansky 1973) has brought a new perspective on individual heterogeneity.”
What is Systems Biology? (2010, background): “Given the widespread acceptance of Theodosius Dobzhansky’s dic-tum “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolu-tion” (Dobzhansky, 1973), such a claim makes systems biology look like an almost heretical activity.”

Development and Preliminary Evaluation of the Measure of Understanding of Macroevolution: Introducing the MUM (2009, background): “…education, science education, survey research, teacher preparation BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION is often described as a central organizing principle of the biological sciences (American Association for the Advancement of Science [AAAS], 1993; Dobzhansky, 1973; National Research Council [NRC], 1996).”

(2017, background): “…– in the case of evolution itself a paradigm of which Dobhansky famously noted that “nothing in biology mades sense except in the light of evolution” (Dobhansky, 1973), and a paradigm that has become influential in the psychological and social sciences (Barkow, Cosmides, & Tooby, 1992; Rose &…”
Toward a general theory of evolution: Extending Darwinian theory to inanimate matter (2011, background): “As Dobzhansky [7] famously noted: “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution”.”
There and back again: migration in freshwater fishes (2014, background): “Nothing in [migration] biology makes sense except in the light of evolution (modified from Dobzhansky 1973) Of all the great spectacles of nature, animal migration is without doubt one of the most remarkable.”
Novel R tools for analysis of genome-wide population genetic data with emphasis on clonality (2015, background): “To paraphrase Dobzhansky, nothing in the ﬁeld of plant-microbe interactions makes sense except in the light of population genetics (Dobzhansky, 1973).”
Wiring and Molecular Features of Prefrontal Ensembles Representing Distinct Experiences (2016, unknown): “It has been remarked (building on Dobzhansky’s comment that ‘‘nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution’’ (Dobzhansky, 1973) that ‘‘nothing in neurobiology makes sense except in the light of behavior’’ (Shepherd, 1988).”

Does Selection Mold Molecular Networks? (2003, background): “Put differently, Dobzhansky may once again be proven right in his oft-quoted statement that “nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution” ( 18 ).”
Relationship between Achievement and Students' Acceptance of Evolution or Creation in an Upper-Level Evolution Course. (2006, background): “Evolution has been recognized as the unifying theme of biology (Dobzhansky, 1973) and a significant portion of most undergraduate biology curricula has been devoted to instruction in evolution.”
