Correlational selection and the evolution of genomic architecture.

Heredity - 1 Nov 2002

Sinervo B, Svensson E

Abstract excerpt

We review and discuss the importance of correlational selection (selection for optimal character combinations) in natural populations. If two or more traits subject to multivariate selection are heritable, correlational selection builds favourable genetic correlations through the formation of linkage disequilibrium at underlying loci governing the traits. However, linkage disequilibria built up by correlational...
