Abstract excerpt
Additive genetic variance might usually be expected to decrease in a finite population because of genetic drift. However, both theoretical and empirical studies have shown that the additive genetic variance of a population could, in some cases, actually increase owing to the action of genetic drift in presence of non-additive effects. We used Monte-Carlo simulations to address a less-well-studied issue: the...
