A general definition of the heritable variation that determines the potential of a population to respond to selection.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2011

Bijma Piter

Abstract excerpt

Genetic selection is a major force shaping life on earth. In classical genetic theory, response to selection is the product of the strength of selection and the additive genetic variance in a trait. The additive genetic variance reflects a population's intrinsic potential to respond to selection. The ordinary additive genetic variance, however, ignores the social organization of life. With social interactions...
