Evolutionary genetics of maternal effects.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2016

Wolf Jason B, Wade Michael J

Abstract excerpt

Maternal genetic effects (MGEs), where genes expressed by mothers affect the phenotype of their offspring, are important sources of phenotypic diversity in a myriad of organisms. We use a single-locus model to examine how MGEs contribute patterns of heritable and nonheritable variation and influence evolutionary dynamics in randomly mating and inbreeding populations. We elucidate the influence of MGEs by...
