How much do genetic covariances alter the rate of adaptation?

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Mar 2009

Agrawal Aneil F, Stinchcombe John R

Abstract excerpt

Genetically correlated traits do not evolve independently, and the covariances between traits affect the rate at which a population adapts to a specified selection regime. To measure the impact of genetic covariances on the rate of adaptation, we compare the rate fitness increases given the observed G matrix to the expected rate if all the covariances in the G matrix are set to zero. Using data from the...
