The evolution of the phenotypic covariance matrix: evidence for selection and drift in Melanoplus.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2005

Roff D A, Mousseau T

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic variation in trait means is a common observation for geographically separated populations. Such variation is typically retained under common garden conditions, indicating that there has been evolutionary change in the populations, as a result of selection and/or drift. Much less frequently studied is variation in the phenotypic covariance matrix (hereafter, P matrix), although this is an important...
