Abstract excerpt
Evidence of changes in levels of genetic variation in the field is scarce. Theoretically, selection and a bottleneck may lead to the depletion of additive genetic variance (V(A)) but not of nonadditive, dominance variance (V(D)), although a bottleneck may converse V(D) to V(A). Here we analyse quantitative genetic variation for the Speckled Wood butterfly Pararge aegeria on the island of Madeira about 120...
