Q(ST) < F(ST) As a signature of canalization.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2012

Lamy Jean-Baptiste, Plomion Christophe, Kremer Antoine, Delzon Sylvain

Abstract excerpt

A key aim of evolutionary biology - inferring the action of natural selection on wild species - can be achieved by comparing neutral genetic differentiation between populations (F(ST)) with quantitative genetic variation (Q(ST)). Each of the three possible outcomes of comparisons of Q(ST) and F(ST) (Q(ST) > F(ST), Q(ST) = F(ST), Q(ST) < F(ST)) is associated with an inference (diversifying selection, genetic...
