An exact form of the breeder's equation for the evolution of a quantitative trait under natural selection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2005

Heywood John S

Abstract excerpt

Starting with the Price equation, I show that the total evolutionary change in mean phenotype that occurs in the presence of fitness variation can be partitioned exactly into five components representing logically distinct processes. One component is the linear response to selection, as represent...
