Evolutionary dynamics of complex traits in sexual populations in a heterogeneous environment: how normal?

Abstract excerpt

When studying the dynamics of trait distribution of populations in a heterogeneous environment, classical models from quantitative genetics choose to look at its system of moments, specifically the first two ones. Additionally, in order to close the resulting system of equations, they often assume the local trait distributions are Gaussian [see for instance Ronce and Kirkpatrick (Evolution 55(8):1520-1531, 2001....
