Strong artificial selection in the wild results in predicted small evolutionary change.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2007

Postma E, Visser J, Van Noordwijk A J

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of genetic variation and selection allow for quantitative predictions of evolutionary change, at least in controlled laboratory experiments. Natural populations are, however, different in many ways, and natural selection on heritable traits does not always result in phenotypic change. To test whether we were able to predict the evolutionary dynamics of a complex trait measured in a natural,...
