Empirical patterns of genomic and phenotypic variation across the landscape are used to develop a predictive model that will help build resilient ecological communities.

The diversification of hand bones in mammals was much more dynamic than those of the proximal and intermediate forearm, involving higher morphological diversity, stronger integration, and greater evolutionary lability at distal structures.

Astyanax mexicanus surface-dwelling fish exposed to complete darkness develop many traits resembling cavefish adaptations by phenotypic plasticity in a single generation.

Genetic variation can have multiple effects on different phenotypic traits in organisms living in the natural environment.

Predicting multivariate phenotypic evolution.

Rare genetic variants in yeast explain a large amount of phenotypic variation in a complex trait like growth.

Multivariate genotype-phenotype mapping enables quantification of pathway and process-level effects on complex phenotypes and predicts phenotypic effects of novel mutations.

Experiments on mice have shown that developmental processes are influencing the generation of phenotypic variation in a way that shapes evolution.

Comprehensive genome-wide associations studies in flies identify new genes and pathways critical for heart development and function and display relevant overlap with human genetic risks related to cardiac performance.

Hybridization not only generates genetic diversity, but this diversity can alter the shape of the fitness landscape, changing which genotypic combinations are favored by natural selection and which accessible genotypic paths lead to novel fitness peaks.
