Stability of the G-matrix in a population experiencing pleiotropic mutation, stabilizing selection, and genetic drift.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2003

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative genetics theory provides a framework that predicts the effects of selection on a phenotype consisting of a suite of complex traits. However, the ability of existing theory to reconstruct the history of selection or to predict the future trajectory of evolution depends upon the evolutionary dynamics of the genetic variance-covariance matrix (G-matrix). Thus, the central focus of the emerging field of...
