Abstract
The dynamics of quantitative polygenic variation under the influence of systems of mating, selection, mutation, and random genetic drift has recently been theoretically formalized by Lande in a series of papers on phenotypic evolution, and he has devised statistical tests for the hypothesis of phenotypic change by random genetic drift or selection (Lande, 1976; 1977).
