Learngene: From Open-World to Your Learning Task (2021, background): “Intuitively, the collective model evolves (expands) (Stearns and Hoekstra 2000) on sequential tasks, and then the individual model re-constructed from learngene performs better over time.”
The impacts of anthropogenic ocean noise on cetaceans and implications for management (2007, background): “Yet assuming there is some cost (energetic or risk in attracting predators) to loud sounds, animals would not be expected to make calls louder than is necessary to achieve their function (Stearns and Hoekstra 2000).”
Understanding Natural Selection: Essential Concepts and Common Misconceptions (2009, background): “…success of an entity in reproducing; hence, the average contribution of an allele or genotype to the next generation or to succeeding generations Stearns and Hoekstra (2005) The correlation of a trait with variation in reproductive success Relative lifetime reproductive success, which includes…”
Natural host‐plant quality affects immune defence of an insect herbivore (2007, background): “…the additive genetic variance (and heritability estimates) of traits closely related to fitness tends to be low, as natural selection erodes genetic variation (Mousseau & Roff, 1987; Roff & Mousseau, 1987; Falconer & Mackay, 1996; Stearns & Hoekstra, 2000, but see e.g., Merilä & Sheldon, 1999).”
Evaluating performance costs of sexually selected traits (2007, background): “…earlier), several theories and models have been proposed for the evolutionary origin and subsequent maintenance or elaboration of putatively sexually selected traits (reviewed by Kirkpatrick 1987; Ryan & Keddy-Hector 1992; Schall & Staats 1997; Mead & Arnold 2004; see also Stearns & Hoekstra 2005).”
Historical changes in the phenology of British Odonata are related to climate (2007, background): “However, ‘all comparisons should start with a reliable phylogeny’ (Stearns & Hoekstra, 2005, p. 349) and although much effort has been expended in attempting to elucidate both higher (Carle, 1982; Bechly, 1996; Trueman, 1996; Rehn, 2003) and deeper (Artiss et al., 2001; May, 2002; von Ellenrieder,…”
From molecules to ecosystems through dynamic energy budget models. (2000, background): “…traditional) starting point for such a study is to investigate how a change in a parameter value aects the expected lifetime reproductive output of an individual in a population at equilibrium (R 0 ) (e.g. Sibly & Calow 1986 and references therein; Stearns & Hoekstra 2000 and references therein).”
Evidence that subsistence farmers have domesticated indigenous fruits (Dacryodes edulis and Irvingia gabonensis) in Cameroon and Nigeria (2004, background): “The degree of improvement depends on the narrow sense heritability Stearns and Hockstra 2000 .”
Behavioral Drive versus Behavioral Inertia in Evolution: A Null Model Approach (2003, background): “Hence, the response to selection will also be less than expected, slowing rates of evolution under natural conditions (Wake et al. 1983; Stearns and Hoekstra 2000).”
Is the 1918 Influenza Pandemic Over? Long‐Term Effects of In Utero Influenza Exposure in the Post‐1940 U.S. Population (2006, unknown): “13 The share of children born to fathers in nonmanual occupations increased markedly in the winter of 1944–45 (Stein et al. 1975). 14 The cohort exposed to famine in the third trimester had a lower average birth weight than other Dutch cohorts but also more limited long-term effects.
