Instead, the response will be limited by a conflict between directional selection on the trait of interest, and whatever form of balancing selection maintains variation.

The solution to informational disorganization is found in non-linear dynamics. Non-linear systems are characterized by self-reinforcing feedba ...

The second question is, `can we reject the hypothesis that di€erences among the G matrices can be accounted for on the basis of drift alone?' This hypothesis does not preclude the possibility that there are di€erences in selection history ...

Waddington (1942a) introduced ‘epigenetics’ to refer to the study of the ‘‘causal mechanisms’’ by which ‘‘the genes of the genotype bring about phenotypic effects.’’ He believed that ‘‘Neo-Darwinism involves a breach between organism and nature as complete as the Cartesian dualism of mind and matter ...

Saltation (biology)

In biology, saltation (from Latin, saltus, ""leap"") is a sudden change from one generation to the next, that is large, or very large, in comparison with the usual variation of an organism. The term is used for nongradual changes (especially single-step speciation) that are atypical of, or violate gradualism - involved in modern evolutionary theory.
