Whither Pst? The approximation of Qst by Pst in evolutionary and conservation biology.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2011

Brommer J E

Abstract excerpt

Local adaptation through natural selection can be inferred in case the additive genetic divergence in a quantitative trait across populations (Q(st)) exceeds the neutral expectation based on differentiation of neutral alleles across these populations (e.g. F(st)). As such, measuring Q(st) in relation to neutral differentiation presents a first-line investigation applicable in evolutionary biology (selection on...
