Evolution of quantitative traits in the wild: mind the ecology.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Aug 2010

Pemberton Josephine M

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in the quantitative genetics of traits in wild animal populations have created new interest in whether natural selection, and genetic response to it, can be detected within long-term ecological studies. However, such studies have re-emphasized the fact that ecological heterogeneity can confound our ability to infer selection on genetic variation and detect a population's response to selection by...
