Heterogeneity of genetic architecture of body size traits in a free-living population.

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the underlying genetic architecture of quantitative traits could aid in understanding how they evolve. In wild populations, it is still largely unknown whether complex traits are polygenic or influenced by few loci with major effect, due to often small sample sizes and low resolution of marker panels. Here, we examine the genetic architecture of five adult body size traits in a free-living population...
