A test for selection employing quantitative trait locus and mutation accumulation data.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2012

Rice Daniel P, Townsend Jeffrey P

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary biologists attribute much of the phenotypic diversity observed in nature to the action of natural selection. However, for many phenotypic traits, especially quantitative phenotypic traits, it has been challenging to test for the historical action of selection. An important challenge for biologists studying quantitative traits, therefore, is to distinguish between traits that have evolved under the...
