Evolution of Quantitative Traits under a Migration-Selection Balance: When Does Skew Matter?

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2015

Débarre Florence, Yeaman Sam, Guillaume Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative-genetic models of differentiation under migration-selection balance often rely on the assumption of normally distributed genotypic and phenotypic values. When a population is subdivided into demes with selection toward different local optima, migration between demes may result in asymmetric, or skewed, local distributions. Using a simplified two-habitat model, we derive formulas without a priori...
