Evolution in heterogeneous environments and the potential of maintenance of genetic variation in traits of adaptive significance.

Genetica - 1 Feb 2005

Byers Diane L

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of genetic variation in traits of adaptive significance has been a major dilemma of evolutionary biology. Considering the pattern of increased genetic variation associated with environmental clines and heterogeneous environments, selection in heterogeneous environments has been proposed to facilitate the maintenance of genetic variation. Some models examining whether genetic variation can be...
