Genetic variance components and heritability of multiallelic heterozygosity under inbreeding.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2016

Nietlisbach P, Keller L F, Postma E

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of genetic diversity in fitness-related traits remains a central topic in evolutionary biology, for example, in the context of sexual selection for genetic benefits. Among the solutions that have been proposed is directional sexual selection for heterozygosity. The importance of such selection is highly debated. However, a critical evaluation requires knowledge of the heritability of...
