Effect of migration and environmental heterogeneity on the maintenance of quantitative genetic variation: a simulation study.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2018

McDonald Tegan Krista, Yeaman Sam

Abstract excerpt

The paradox of high genetic variation observed in traits under stabilizing selection is a long-standing problem in evolutionary theory, as mutation rates appear too low to explain observed levels of standing genetic variation under classic models of mutation-selection balance. Spatially or temporally heterogeneous environments can maintain more standing genetic variation within populations than homogeneous...
