The evolution of trade-offs under directional and correlational selection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2012

Roff Derek A, Fairbairn Daphne J

Abstract excerpt

Using quantitative genetic theory, we develop predictions for the evolution of trade-offs in response to directional and correlational selection. We predict that directional selection favoring an increase in one trait in a trade-off will result in change in the intercept but not the slope of the...
