A general model of functional constraints on phenotypic evolution.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2007

Walker Jeffrey A

Abstract excerpt

A general model of the functional constraints on the rate and direction of phenotypic evolution is developed using a decomposition of the Lande-Arnold model of multivariate phenotypic evolution. The important feature of the model is the F matrix of performance coefficients reflecting the causal relationship between morphophysiological (m-p) and functional performance traits. The structure of F, which reflects the...
