Limits to selection on standing variation in an asexual population.

Abstract excerpt

We consider how a population of N haploid individuals responds to directional selection on standing variation, with no new variation from recombination or mutation. Individuals have trait values z1,…,zN, which are drawn from a distribution ψ; the fitness of individual i is proportional to [Formula: see text] . For illustration, we consider the Laplace and Gaussian distributions, which are parametrised only by the...
