Selection on Morphological Patterns

  • Conference paper
Population Genetics and Evolution

Abstract

Selection acts on phenotypes. This causes genetic effects when phenotypic variation is correlated with genetic variation. The link between the phenotypic and the geno-typic level is formed by gene physiology and developmental genetics. Understanding the impact of selection on genetic variation is dependent on the elucidation of this connection (Scharloo et al. 1977; Scharloo 1984).
