A G matrix analogue to capture the cumulative effects of nongenetic inheritance.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2013

Townley S, Ezard T H G

Abstract excerpt

The genetic variance-covariance (G) matrix describes the variances and covariances of genetic traits under strict genetic inheritance. Genetically expressed traits often influence trait expression in another via nongenetic forms of transmission and inheritance, however. The importance of non-genetic influences on phenotypic evolution is increasingly clear, but how genetic and nongenetic inheritance interact to...
