Selection on variance-controlling genes: adaptability or stability.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2012

Pettersson Mats E, Nelson Ronald M, Carlborg Orjan

Abstract excerpt

Simulations on a model system where a variance-controlling master locus scales the effects of a set of effector loci show that selection affects the variance-controlling locus more strongly than the effector loci, and that the direction of selection is dependent on the frequency of environmental changes.
