Simulation of Genetic Systems by Automatic Digital Computers VII. Effects of Reproductive Ra'l'e, and Intensity of Selection, on Genetic Structure

Abstract

Simulation by Monte Carlo methods of the effect of selection against pheno. typic extremes has shown that selection can produce a degree of genetic canali· zation which is more restrictive than that indicated by the limits of selection, showing that canalization of a rigid degree can be caused by loose selection.
