Heritability and survivorship data support the general notion that fitness traits should have low levels of additive genetic variation, but also suggest that antagonistic pleiotropy may act to preserve genetic variation in fitness traits under simultaneous selection.

Lande (1982) has presented a quantitative genetic model for the evolution of ontogenetically varying traits which clearly defines the parameters required for an analysis of ontogeney and evolution: (1) the genetic variance/covariance matrix; (2) the phentoypic variance/ covariance Matrix; and (3) the vector of selection differentials.

Offspring size is a critical life history parameter because it limits the number of offspring a female can produce without increasing reproductive effort and is associated with intraspecific competitive ability of the offspring.

An analysis is made of genetic and non-genetic components in the number of eggs in the completed first clutch of the Great Tit, finding no detectable variation in clutch size that can be attributed to differences in habitat quality.

107 Citations1985Bruce Riska, J. J. Rutledge +1 more
It is suggested that genes active during later parts of growth affect maternal performance more than those active during early growth, causing increased covariance at later ages.

The effect is likely to provide an adaptive mechanism for preventing an untimely diapause response among the progeny of overwintering females that emerge early in the spring.

It is suggested that the high level of additive genetic variance influencing female sensitivity to photoperiod functions as a "genetic rheostat" and results in eggs of the fall field population being optimally distributed geographically in the face of varying association betweenphotoperiod and temperature.

Differences in gene frequency over relatively short distances indicate population subdivision and some degree of site tenacity for individual animals, since dispersal between subdivisions results in genetic homogeneity in the absence of large differences in selective pressures.

There are many reasons to study quantitative genetics in natural populations, and birds have the great advantage that pedigrees can be determined easily innatural populations, so it is not surprising that nearly all quantitative genetic studies where the observations were made in the natural environment of the study species concern birds.
