The evolution of the additive variance of a trait under stabilizing selection after autopolyploidization.

Abstract excerpt

Whole-genome duplication is a common mutation in eukaryotes with far-reaching phenotypic effects. The resulting morphological, physiological and fitness consequences and how they affect the survival probability of polyploid lineages are intensively studied, but little is known about the effect of genome doubling on the evolutionary potential of populations. Historically, it has been argued polyploids should be...
