Can dominance genetic variance be ignored in evolutionary quantitative genetic analyses of wild populations?

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2020

Class Barbara, Brommer Jon E

Abstract excerpt

Accurately estimating genetic variance components is important for studying evolution in the wild. Empirical work on domesticated and wild outbred populations suggests that dominance genetic variance represents a substantial part of genetic variance, and theoretical work predicts that ignoring dominance can inflate estimates of additive genetic variance. Whether this issue is pervasive in natural systems is...
