Estimating the additive genetic variance for relative fitness from changes in allele frequency.

Genetics - 7 Jan 2026

Geeta Arun Manas, Angus-Henry Aidan, Obbard Darren J, Hadfield Jarrod D

Abstract excerpt

The rate of adaptation is equal to the additive genetic variance for relative fitness (VA) in the population. Estimating VA typically involves obtaining suitable measures of fitness on a large number of individuals with known pairwise relatedness. Such data are hard to collect and the results are often sensitive to the definition of fitness used. Here, we present a new method for estimating VA that does not...
