Abstract: Abstract This book gathers the expertise of thirty evolutionary biologists from around the globe to highlight how applying the field of quantitative genetics (the analysis of the genetic basis of complex traits) to wild populations has provided major advancements in evolutionary ecology. It offers insights into the relevant methods and major discoveries in a wide array of evolutionary fields, such as life-history theory, behavioural ecology, and sexual selection, as well as the most promising emerging topics including the application to non-model taxa such as plants and arthropods, molecular quantitative genetics, and non-additive genetic variance.
