    • Adaptive Evolution of Multiple Traits Through Multiple Mutations at a Single Gene 

      Linnen, Catherine Ramsay; Poh, Yu-Ping; Peterson, Brant K.; Barrett, Rowan; Larson, J. G.; Jensen, J. D.; Hoekstra, Hopi E. (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2013)
      The identification of precise mutations is required for a complete understanding of the underlying molecular and evolutionary mechanisms driving adaptive phenotypic change. Using plasticine models in the field, we show ...
    • Molecular spandrels: tests of adaptation at the genetic level 

      Barrett, Rowan; Hoekstra, Hopi E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2011)
      Although much progress has been made in identifying the genes (and, in rare cases, mutations) that contribute to phenotypic variation, less is known about the effects that these genes have on fitness. Nonetheless, genes ...
