- Some stuff for your reflexion this night...
-
- Consider genetic correlations between components of early fitness and late
- fitness. The strengh of natural selection on the second should be low
- (compared to the other).
- Now, suppose that you derive your genetic correlations from mean genotypic
- values of strains of Drosophila melanogaster from different geographic origins.
- If you find a significative correlation by this way, does it implie that the
- same correlation should appear inside each of the populations?
-
- If you have some idea, or reference, or...
- Thanks,
-
