Evolution of the environmental component of the phenotypic variance: stabilizing selection in changing environments and the cost of homogeneity.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2005

Zhang Xu-Sheng, Hill William G

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative traits show abundant genetic, environmental, and phenotypic variance, yet if they are subject to stabilizing selection for an optimal phenotype, both the genetic and environmental components are expected to decline. The mechanisms that determine the level and maintenance of phenotypic variance are not yet fully understood. While there has been extensive study of mechanisms maintaining genetic...
