Inferring microevolution from museum collections and resampling: lessons learned from <i>Cepaea</i>

2016-07-20

Abstract excerpt

Studies documenting Human-Induced Rapid Evolutionary Change (HIREC) routinely compare contemporary allele or morph frequency distributions with historical baselines. All too often, this involves the re-sampling of a population that was sampled at a single time point in the past. However, year-to-year fluctuations in magnitude and direction of evolutionary response may make such studies prone to erroneous conclusio...
