Effects of spontaneous mutations on survival and reproduction of Drosophila serrata infected with Drosophila C virus

This study examines how spontaneous mutations affect survival and reproduction in Drosophila serrata infected with Drosophila C virus, finding no directional bias in mutational effects on survival but pleiotropic effects on reproductive output.

Variability of morphology-performance relationships under acute exposure to different temperatures in three strains of zebrafish.

This study examines how morphology-performance relationships vary with temperature in three zebrafish strains, finding temperature-independent and -dependent patterns of swimming speed variation.

Using inbreeding to test the contribution of non-additive genetic effects to additive genetic variance: a case study in Drosophila serrata

This study uses inbreeding in Drosophila serrata to test if non-additive genetic effects contribute to additive genetic variance, finding no deviation from additive expectations.

The contribution of mutation to variation in temperature-dependent sprint speed in zebrafish, Danio rerio

This study examines how mutations affect temperature-dependent sprint speed in zebrafish, finding that mutational effects are consistently correlated across temperatures, suggesting synergistic cross-environment effects.
