Natural selection, evolvability and bias due to environmental covariance in the field in an annual plant.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2004

Winn A A

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of the form and magnitude of natural selection based on phenotypic relationships between traits and fitness measures can be biased when environmental factors influence both relative fitness and phenotypic trait values. I quantified genetic variances and covariances, and estimated linear and quadratic selection coefficients, for seven traits of an annual plant grown in the field. For replicates of 50...
