Why h2 does not always equal V A/V P?

Abstract excerpt

Over the last decade, there has been a rapid growth in the application of quantitative genetic techniques to evolutionary studies of natural populations. Whereas this work yields enormous insight into evolutionary processes in the wild, the use of modelling techniques and strategies adopted from animal breeders means that estimates of trait heritabilities (h(2)) are highly vulnerable to misinterpretation....
