Change and maintenance of variation in quantitative traits in the context of the Price equation.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 2010

Zhang Xu-Sheng, Hill William G

Abstract excerpt

The Price equation is a general description of evolutionary change in any character from one generation to the next due to natural selection and other forces such as mutation and recombination. Recently it has been widely utilised in many fields including quantitative genetics, but these applications have focused mainly on the response to selection in the mean of characters. Many different and, in some cases,...
