An introduction to microevolution: rate, pattern, process.- Theoretical developments and statistical methods.- The adaptive landscape as a conceptual bridge between micro- and macroevolution.- Possible consequences of genes of major effect: transient changes in the G-matrix.- Toward a new synthesis: population genetics and evolutionary developmental biology.- Epistasis, complex traits, and mapping genes.- Population structure inhibits evolutionary diversification under competition for resources.- Variation, selection and evolution of function-valued traits.- Why the null matters: statistical tests, random walks and evolution.- Synthetic reviews and perspectives.- Rates of evolution on the time scale of the evolutionary process.- The pace of modern life II: from rates of contemporary microevolution to pattern and process.- Trends and rates of microevolution in plants.- The population ecology of contemporary adaptations: what empirical studies reveal about the conditions that promote adaptive evolution.- Explaining stasis: microevolutionary studies in natural populations.- Ring species as bridges between microevolution and speciation.- Microevolution in island rodents.- Empirical demonstrations in natural systems.- Genetic architecture of adaptive differentiation in evolving host races of the soapberry bug, Jadera haematoloma.- Rapid evolution of wing size clines in Drosophila subobscura.- Insecticide resistance in the mosquito Culex pipiens: what have we learned about adaptation.- High gene flow levels lead to gamete wastage in a desert spider system.- Integrating genetic and environmental forces that shape the evolution of geographic variation in a marine snail.- On morphological clocks and paleophylogeography: towards a timescale for Sorex hybrid zones.- A population founded by a single pair of individuals: establishment, expansion, and evolution.- Refugial isolation versus ecological gradients.- Experimental studies of adaptive differentiation in Bahamian Anolis lizards.- Runaway social games, genetic cycles driven by alternative male and female strategies, and the origin of morphs.- Mechanisms of rapid sympatric speciation by sex reversal and sexual selection in cichlid fish.- Lateral plate evolution in the threespine stickleback: getting nowhere fast.- Sexual conflict and evolution in Trinidadian guppies.- A century of life-history evolution in grayling.- Evolution of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) populations in New Zealand: pattern, rate, and process.- Adaptive divergence and the evolution of reproductive isolation in the wild: an empirical demonstration using introduced sockeye salmon.
