On the importance of scale in evolutionary quantitative genetics.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 3 Sept 2024

Hansen Thomas F, Holstad Agnes, Houle David, Pélabon Christophe

Abstract excerpt

The informed use of scales and units in evolutionary quantitative genetics is often neglected, and naïve standardizations can cause misinterpretations of empirical results. A potentially influential example of such neglect can be found in the recent book by Arnold (2023. Evolutionary quantitative genetics. Oxford University Press). There, Arnold championed the use of heritability over mean-scaled genetic variance...
