Archaic introgression and the distribution of shared variation under stabilizing selection.

Abstract excerpt

Many phenotypic traits are under stabilizing selection, which maintains a population's mean phenotypic value near some optimum. The dynamics of traits and trait architectures under stabilizing selection have been extensively studied for single populations at steady state. However, natural populations are seldom at steady state and are often structured in some way. Admixture and introgression events may be common,...
