• The maintenance of sexually antagonistic variation in reproductive success by negative frequency-dependence in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) 

  Martiskainen, Henna (2011)

  Natural selection theory predicts low variance in traits closely related to reproductive success, since the most fit trait value should replace all the others. However, a considerable amount of variation is found in ...

• Reproductive success, local adaptation and genetic diversity in small plant populations 

  Lammi, Antti (University of Jyväskylä, 1999)

• Selection on two behavioral genes : fitness effects of receptor genes for arginine vasopressin 1a and oxytocin in the bank vole Myodes glareolus 

  Lönn, Eija (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)

  Most variation in behavior is regulated by genes; nevertheless the mechanisms behind maintenance of genetic diversity at behavioral loci have remained mainly elusive in natural populations. I studied in my thesis ...

• Cost of reproduction and offspring quality in the evolution of reproductive effort 

  Oksanen, Tuula (University of Jyväskylä, 2002)

  Any organism has a limited amount of resources, which have to be partitioned among several activities such as maintenance, growth and reproduction. Reproductive effort is defined as the proportion of parental resources ...

• Safety in Numbers : How Color Morph Frequency Affects Predation Risk in an Aposematic Moth 

  Gordon, Swanne P.; Burdfield-Steel, Emily; Kirvesoja, Jimi; Mappes, Johanna (University of Chicago Press, 2021)

  Polymorphic warning signals in aposematic systems are enigmatic because predator learning should favor the most common form, creating positive frequency-dependent survival. However, many populations exhibit variation in ...
