DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16067
Abstract: Abstract Premise Genetic variation influences the potential for evolution to rescue populations from impacts of environmental change. Most studies of genetic variation in fitness‐related traits focus on either vegetative or floral traits, with few on… read more here.

Weak effects of common genetic variation in oxytocin and vasopressin receptor genes on rhesus macaque social behavior
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22873
Abstract: The neuropeptides oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) influence pair bonding, attachment, and sociality, as well as anxiety and stress responses in humans and other mammals. The effects of these peptides are mediated by genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cncr.33258
Abstract: Treatment characteristics such as cranial radiation therapy (CRT) do not fully explain adiposity risk in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors. This study was aimed at characterizing genetic variation related to adult body mass index… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cpt.2890
Abstract: Over 20% of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs in the United States are metabolized by the hepatic enzyme cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). The gene encoding CYP2D6 is highly polymorphic and genetic variation has been… read more here.

Breeding for resilience to increasing temperatures: A field trial assessing genetic variation in soft red winter wheat
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4668
Abstract: Abstract Breeding for resilience to climate change is a daunting prospect. Crop and climate models tell us that global wheat yields are likely to decline as the climate warms, causing a significant risk to global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6888
Abstract: Abstract Plants’ defenses against herbivores usually include both resistance and tolerance mechanisms. Their deployment has predominantly been studied in either single‐plant genotypes or multiple genotypes exposed to single herbivores. In natural situations, however, most plants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8255
Abstract: Abstract To understand colonization processes, it is critical to fully assess the role of dispersal in shaping biogeographical patterns at the gene, individual, population, and community levels. We test two alternative hypotheses (H I and… read more here.
