Age-specific genetic and maternal effects in fecundity of preindustrial Finnish women.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2008

Pettay Jenni E, Charmantier Anne, Wilson Alastair J, Lummaa Virpi

Abstract excerpt

A population's potential for evolutionary change depends on the amount of genetic variability expressed in traits under selection. Studies attempting to measure this variability typically do so over the life span of individuals, but theory suggests that the amount of additive genetic variance can change during the course of individuals' lives. Here we use pedigree data from historical Finns and a quantitative...
