Dynamics of a quantitative character subject only to stabilising selection.

Mathematical biosciences - 1 Mar 2005

Waxman D

Abstract excerpt

The implications of stabilising selection on a quantitative trait, in the absence of other evolutionary forces, are theoretically investigated in a randomly mating population. The dynamics of various statistics that describe the alleles contributing to the trait are determined and used to infer the behaviour of the trait. Dynamical solutions of the distribution of allelic effects and the distribution of the trait...
