Mutation-selection balance for environmental variance.

The American naturalist - 1 Mar 2008

Zhang Xu-Sheng, Hill William G

Abstract excerpt

The role of mutation-selection balance in maintaining environmental variance (V(E)) of quantitative traits is investigated under the assumption that genotypes differ in the magnitude of phenotypic variance, given genotypic value. Thus, V(E) can be regarded as a quantitative trait. As stabilizing...
