Type I error rates for testing genetic drift with phenotypic covariance matrices: a simulation study.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jan 2013

Prôa Miguel, O'Higgins Paul, Monteiro Leandro R

Abstract excerpt

Studies of evolutionary divergence using quantitative genetic methods are centered on the additive genetic variance-covariance matrix (G) of correlated traits. However, estimating G properly requires large samples and complicated experimental designs. Multivariate tests for neutral evolution commonly replace average G by the pooled phenotypic within-group variance-covariance matrix (W) for evolutionary...
