Adaptive versus non‐adaptive phenotypic plasticity and the potential for contemporary adaptation in new environments

CK Ghalambor, JK McKay, SP Carroll… - Functional …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
The role of phenotypic plasticity in evolution has historically been a contentious issue because
of debate over whether plasticity shields genotypes from selection or generates novel …

Reduced bone mass in daughters of women with osteoporosis

…, ME Cooper, E Parkinson, J McKay… - … England Journal of …, 1989 - Mass Medical Soc
To determine whether premenopausal daughters of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis
have lower bone mass than other women of the same age, we measured the bone …

Harnessing genomics for delineating conservation units

WC Funk, JK McKay, PA Hohenlohe… - Trends in ecology & …, 2012 - cell.com
Genomic data have the potential to revolutionize the delineation of conservation units (CUs)
by allowing the detection of adaptive genetic variation, which is otherwise difficult for rare, …

“How local is local?”—a review of practical and conceptual issues in the genetics of restoration

JK McKay, CE Christian, S Harrison… - Restoration …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
In plant conservation, restoration (the augmentation or reestablishment of an extinct
population or community) is a valuable tool to mitigate the loss of habitat. However, restoration …

Adaptive population divergence: markers, QTL and traits

JK McKay, RG Latta - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2002 - cell.com
Molecular markers appear to be poor indicators of heritable variation in adaptive traits. Direct
comparison of population structure in markers with that in traits is made possible by the …

2b-RAD: a simple and flexible method for genome-wide genotyping

S Wang, E Meyer, JK McKay, MV Matz - Nature methods, 2012 - nature.com
We describe 2b-RAD, a streamlined restriction site–associated DNA (RAD) genotyping
method based on sequencing the uniform fragments produced by type IIB restriction …

Genomics and the challenging translation into conservation practice

…, J Krause, TN Kristensen, M Krützen, JK McKay… - Trends in ecology & …, 2015 - cell.com
The global loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate. Genomic approaches have
been suggested as a promising tool for conservation practice as scaling up to genome-wide …

Quantitative trait loci affecting differences in floral morphology between two species of monkeyflower (Mimulus)

HD Bradshaw Jr, KG Otto, BE Frewen, JK McKay… - Genetics, 1998 - academic.oup.com
Conspicuous differences in floral morphology are partly responsible for reproductive isolation
between two sympatric species of monkeyflower because of their effect on visitation of the …

Genetics of drought adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana: I. Pleiotropy contributes to genetic correlations among ecological traits

JK Mckay, JH Richards, T Mitchell‐Olds - Molecular ecology, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We examined patterns of genetic variance and covariance in two traits (i) carbon stable isotope
ratio δ 13 C (dehydration avoidance) and (ii) time to flowering (drought escape), both of …
