Persistence of changes in the genetic covariance matrix after a bottleneck.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2002

Whitlock Michael C, Phillips Patrick C, Fowler Kevin

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variance, phenotypic variance, and the genetic covariance matrix (G) can change as a result of genetic drift. These changes will persist over time to some extent and will continue if population size remains relatively small. Nine populations founded by a single pair of Drosophila melanogaster were measured for a series of six morphological characteristics for a large number of parent-offspring families at...
