The impact of environmental heterogeneity on genetic architecture in a wild population of Soay sheep.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

This work demonstrates that environmental conditions experienced by individuals can shape their development and affect the stability of genetic associations. The implication of this observation is that the environmental response may influence the evolution of traits in the wild. Here, we examined how the genetic architecture of a suite of sexually dimorphic traits changed as a function of environmental conditions...
