Testing for biases in selection on avian reproductive traits and partitioning direct and indirect selection using quantitative genetic models.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2016

Reed Thomas E, Gienapp Phillip, Visser Marcel E

Abstract excerpt

Key life history traits such as breeding time and clutch size are frequently both heritable and under directional selection, yet many studies fail to document microevolutionary responses. One general explanation is that selection estimates are biased by the omission of correlated traits that have causal effects on fitness, but few valid tests of this exist. Here, we show, using a quantitative genetic framework...
