Cover; Contents; 1. Introduction; Why study evolution?; The map of evolution; Pillars of evolution; 2. Mechanics; Overview; Introduction: the scale of mechanism; Random change; Systematic change; Quantitative inheritance: a full understanding of mechanics must include an assessment of polygenic traits; Interactions among genes and traits: trade-offs and constraints shackle adaptive evolution; Plasticity: malleable responses are adaptive solutions to varying environments
A challenge to the genetical theory of adaptive evolution: can developmental and behavioural plasticity force genes to follow traits?Mechanics of population growth and decline; The limits of mechanics: mechanics, though essential, is an insufficient explanation for evolution; Reflection; 3. Function; Overview; Introduction: where traits meet the environment; The fitness-mapping function; Fitness sets and the fitness-generating function; The adaptive function; Mappings; Multiple traits; Optimal trait values; Reflection; 4. Structure; Overview; Introduction: mapping traits onto fitness Traits and functionTraits, states, and strategies; Optimization; Constraints and reinforcement; Structure at different scales; The structure matrix; Where traits fail to map onto function; Reflection; 5. Scale; Overview; Introduction: backward-looking adaptation; Shortcuts in modelling evolution; Size and allometry; Grain: how the scale of environment influences evolution; Multi-level adaptation; Prescriptions: avoiding the fallacies of simplicity and complexity; Reflection; 6.
