On the distribution of the mean and variance of a quantitative trait under mutation-selection-drift balance.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1994

Bürger R, Lande R

Abstract excerpt

The distributions of the mean phenotype and of the genetic variance of a polygenic trait under a balance between mutation, stabilizing selection and genetic drift are investigated. This is done by stochastic simulations in which each individual and each gene are represented. The results are compared with theoretical predictions. Some aspects of the existing theories for the evolution of quantitative traits are...
