Artificial Selection to Increase the Phenotypic Variance in gmax Fails.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2017

Sztepanacz Jacqueline L, Blows Mark W

Abstract excerpt

Stabilizing selection is important in evolutionary theories of the maintenance of genetic variance and has been invoked as the key process determining macroevolutionary patterns of trait evolution. However, manipulative evidence for the extent of stabilizing selection, particularly on multivariate traits, is lacking. We used artificial disruptive selection in Drosophila serrata as a tool to determine the relative...
