The distribution of genetic variance across phenotypic space and the response to selection.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2015

Blows Mark W, McGuigan Katrina

Abstract excerpt

The role of adaptation in biological invasions will depend on the availability of genetic variation for traits under selection in the new environment. Although genetic variation is present for most traits in most populations, selection is expected to act on combinations of traits, not individual traits in isolation. The distribution of genetic variance across trait combinations can be characterized by the...
