Reducing environmental bias when measuring natural selection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2002

Abstract excerpt

Crucial to understanding the process of natural selection is characterizing phenotypic selection. Measures of phenotypic selection can be biased by environmental variation among individuals that causes a spurious correlation between a trait and fitness. One solution is analyzing genotypic data, rather than phenotypic data. Genotypic data, however, are difficult to gather, can be gathered from few species, and...
