The contribution of mutation and selection to multivariate quantitative genetic variance in an outbred population of Drosophila serrata.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Aug 2021

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variance is not equal for all multivariate combinations of traits. This inequality, in which some combinations of traits have abundant genetic variation while others have very little, biases the rate and direction of multivariate phenotypic evolution. However, we still understand little about what causes genetic variance to differ among trait combinations. Here, we investigate the relative roles of...
