Abstract excerpt
Comparisons of estimates of genetic differentiation at molecular markers (F(ST)) and at quantitative traits (Q(ST)) are a means of inferring the level and heterogeneity of selection in natural populations. However, such comparisons are questionable because they require that the influence of drift and selection on Q(ST) be detectable over possible background influences of environmental or nonadditive genetic...
