Microbiology and the species problem (2010, background): “Following Hull (1965), Pigliucci and Kaplan (Pigliucci 2003; Pigliucci and Kaplan 2006) suggest that the species problem can be solved if we treat ‘species’ as a family resemblance concept.”
Cognitive foundations for science assessment design: Knowing what students know about evolution (2012, background): “What makes these three concepts ‘‘core’’ in evolution is that they provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for natural selection (e.g., Endler, 1992; Lewontin, 1978; Nehm & Schonfeld, 2010; Patterson, 1978; Pigliucci & Kaplan, 2006).”
Development and Preliminary Evaluation of the Measure of Understanding of Macroevolution: Introducing the MUM (2009, background): “The importance of evolutionary theory to conceptualizing biology makes the lack of understanding of this construct problematic (Pigliucci & Kaplan, 2006).”
A More Fine-Grained Measure of Students' Acceptance of Evolution: Development of the Inventory of Student Evolution Acceptance—I-SEA (2012, background): “…some of the most fundamental concepts of biology, it is frequently viewed as fundamental to science literacy (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2006; Pigliucci & Kaplan, 2006), which is made evident by the inclusion of evolution in science education learning standards.”
Sexual selection, sexual conflict and the evolution of ageing and life span (2008, background): “…and quantitative-genetic parameters are highly sensitive to environment, and experimental results, including the outcome of selection experiments, may be strongly influenced by the peculiarities of the laboratory setting (Harshman & Hoffmann 2000; Pigliucci & Kaplan 2006; Kawasaki et al. 2008).”
Ecological limits to plant phenotypic plasticity. (2007, background): “It is clear that the concept of phenotypic plasticity has become an important part of modern evolutionary and ecological research (Pigliucci & Kaplan, 2006; Valladares et al., 2006), and it is now recognized as central to evolution rather than a minor phenomenon, as was the case not very long ago…”
