Neutral evolution of multiple quantitative characters: a genealogical approach.

Genetics - 1 May 2007

Griswold Cortland K, Logsdon Benjamin, Gomulkiewicz Richard

Abstract excerpt

The G matrix measures the components of phenotypic variation that are genetically heritable. The structure of G, that is, its principal components and their associated variances, determines, in part, the direction and speed of multivariate trait evolution. In this article we present a framework and results that give the structure of G under the assumption of neutrality. We suggest that a neutral expectation of...
