Stabilizing selection is a key evolutionary mechanism for which there is relatively little experimental evidence. To date, stabilizing selection has never been observed at the whole-genome level. We ...

Quantitative traits show abundant genetic, environmental, and phenotypic variance, yet if they are subject to stabilizing selection for an optimal phenotype, both the genetic and environmental ...

A type of natural selection, called "stabilizing selection," is thought to maintain functional characteristics in species. But it is difficult to find evidence of this type of selection through ...

A fundamental goal in biology is to predict the evolution and optimization of traits in populations undergoing natural selection. Quantitative genetics has emerged as the dominant paradigm for ...

FACTORS OF EVOLUTION : THE THEORY OF STABILIZING SELECTION BY II SCHMALHAUSEN TRANSLATED BY ISADORE DORDICK EDITED BY THEODOSIUS DOBZHANSKY WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY DAVID B WAKE ...

Hokkaido University researchers are finding evidence of natural selection that maintains the status quo among ant populations. A type of natural selection, called "stabilizing selection", is thought ...
