Rapid divergence of genetic variance-covariance matrix within a natural population.

The American naturalist - 1 Mar 2008

Doroszuk Agnieszka, Wojewodzic Marcin W, Gort Gerrit, Kammenga Jan E

Abstract excerpt

The matrix of genetic variances and covariances (G matrix) represents the genetic architecture of multiple traits sharing developmental and genetic processes and is central for predicting phenotypic evolution. These predictions require that the G matrix be stable. Yet the timescale and conditions promoting G matrix stability in natural populations remain unclear. We studied stability of the G matrix in a 20-year...
