Smaller, scale-free gene networks increase quantitative trait heritability and result in faster population recovery.

PloS one - 9 Feb 2011

Malcom Jacob W

Abstract excerpt

One of the goals of biology is to bridge levels of organization. Recent technological advances are enabling us to span from genetic sequence to traits, and then from traits to ecological dynamics. The quantitative genetics parameter heritability describes how quickly a trait can evolve, and in turn describes how quickly a population can recover from an environmental change. Here I propose that we can link the...
