A model of quantitative traits under frequency-dependent balancing selection.

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 22 May 1990

Mani G S, Clarke B C, Shelton P R

Abstract excerpt

We describe a computer model that stimulates a combination of stabilizing and frequency-dependent selection acting on a quantitative character determined by several loci. The results correspond to many features of natural variations at both the phenotypic and genotypic levels. The model is robust...
