Asymmetry of genetic variation in fitness-related traits: apparent stabilizing selection on g(max).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2009

McGuigan Katrina, Blows Mark W

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of genetic variation in traits closely associated with fitness remains a key unresolved issue in evolutionary genetics. One important qualification on the observation of genetic variation in fitness-related traits is that such traits respond asymmetrically to selection, evolving to a greater extent in the direction of lower fitness. Here we test the hypothesis that standing genetic variation in...
