The ecology and genetics of fitness in Chlamydomonas. X. The relationship between genetic correlation and genetic distance.

Abstract excerpt

A necessary condition for the maintenance of genetic variation in heterogeneous environments is that the relative fitnesses of a collection of genotypes vary as conditions of growth change. This can be detected by estimating the amount of gene-by-environment interaction (G x E) when a range of types are tested across a range of conditions. However it is the sign and magnitude of the genetic correlation, which is...
