Nonlinear selection and the evolution of variances and covariances for continuous characters in an anole.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2010

Revell L J, Mahler D L, Sweeney J R, Sobotka M, Fancher V E, Losos J B

Abstract excerpt

The pattern of genetic variances and covariances among characters, summarized in the additive genetic variance-covariance matrix, G, determines how a population will respond to linear natural selection. However, G itself also evolves in response to selection. In particular, we expect that, over t...
