Changes of scale in the study of the evolution of the genetic variance through selection in Tribolium castaneum.docVIP

Departamento de Genitica, Inst. Nac. de Investigaciones Agrarias, Avenida de Puerta de Hierro, Madrid-3 (Spain) In two castaneum, the evolution of the phenotypic, genetic and environmental variances, as selection different selection experiments for high egg laying of virgin females of Tribolium In the control (unselected) lines, a strong correlation between the mean and the phenotypic variance was found. Several scale transformations were assayed in order to find a more correct scale. It was found that the best transformation, i. e. the one in which the mean and the variance become unco
