Bringing habitat information into statistical tests of local adaptation in quantitative traits: a case study of nine-spined sticklebacks.

Abstract excerpt

Detection of footprints of historical natural selection on quantitative traits in cross-sectional data sets is challenging, especially when the number of populations to be compared is small and the populations are subject to strong random genetic drift. We extend a recent Bayesian multivariate approach to differentiate between selective and neutral causes of population differentiation by the inclusion of habitat...
