Weak genetic signal for phenotypic integration implicates developmental processes as major regulators of trait covariation.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2021

Conith Andrew J, Hope Sylvie A, Chhouk Brian H, Craig Albertson R

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic integration is an important metric that describes the degree of covariation among traits in a population, and is hypothesized to arise due to selection for shared functional processes. Our ability to identify the genetic and/or developmental underpinnings of integration is marred by temporally overlapping cell-, tissue- and structure-level processes that serve to continually 'overwrite' the structure...
