The Wilhelmine E. Key 1986 invitational lecture. Fifty years of genetic load.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Wallace B

Abstract excerpt

The author's involvement with and his successive reactions to the genetic load concept [whose beginning is identified with Haldane's paper. The effect of variation on fitness] is presented in the form of a personal odyssey. The major change in attitude involved the realization that the density- and frequency-independent selection discussed by most population geneticists has little bearing on events transpiring...
