Artificial Selection and the Development of Ecologically Relevant Phenotypes

Artificial selection is used by quantitative geneticists to examine the genetic variances and covariances that underlie the evolution of traits that show continuous phenotypic variation. Such traits are crucial for adaptive evolution in natural populations. Here, I discuss the extent to which artifi...
