Maintenance of genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity: the role of environmental variation.

Genetical research - 1 Dec 2000

de Jong G, Gavrilets S

Abstract excerpt

We study genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity maintained by a balance between mutation and weak stabilizing selection. We consider linear reaction norms allowing for spatial and/or temporal variation in the environments of development and selection. We show that the overall genetic variation maintained does not depend on whether the trait is plastic or not. The genetic variances in height and slope of a...
