Natural selection and inheritance of breeding time and clutch size in the collared flycatcher.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2003

Sheldon B C, Kruuk L E B, Merilä J

Abstract excerpt

Many characteristics of organisms in free-living populations appear to be under directional selection, possess additive genetic variance, and yet show no evolutionary response to selection. Avian breeding time and clutch size are often-cited examples of such characters. We report analyses of inheritance of, and selection on, these traits in a long-term study of a wild population of the collared flycatcher...
