Abstract excerpt
We study the dynamics under directional truncation selection of the genetic variability of a quantitative character controlled by a finite number of possibly linked loci with additive effects. After the first generation of selection, the build-up of linkage disequilibria (Bulmer effect) is analytically demonstrated from a genetical point of view in an infinite population. In the following generations, the...
