Balancing selection in species with separate sexes: insights from Fisher's geometric model.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2014

Connallon Tim, Clark Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

How common is balancing selection, and what fraction of phenotypic variance is attributable to balanced polymorphisms? Despite decades of research, answers to these questions remain elusive. Moreover, there is no clear theoretical prediction about the frequency with which balancing selection is expected to arise within a population. Here, we use an extension of Fisher's geometric model of adaptation to predict...
