Fitness-related patterns of genetic variation in rhesus macaques.

Genetica - 1 Mar 2009

Blomquist Gregory E

Abstract excerpt

The patterning of quantitative genetic descriptions of genetic and residual variation for 15 skeletal and six life history traits was explored in a semi-free-ranging group of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta Zimmerman 1780). I tested theoretical predictions that explain the magnitude of genetic and residual variation as a result of 1. strength of a trait's association with evolutionary fitness, or 2. developmental...
