Effects on phenotypic variability of directional selection arising through genetic differences in residual variability.

Abstract excerpt

In standard models of quantitative traits, genotypes are assumed to differ in mean but not variance of the trait. Here we consider directional selection for a quantitative trait for which genotypes also confer differences in variability, viewed either as differences in residual phenotypic varianc...
