Population differentiation for adaptive traits and their underlying loci in forest trees : theoretical predictions and experimental results
2000
Population differentiation has been investigated in forest trees since provenance tests were established. A vast amount of results has accumulated in numerous reports and articles about intraspecific variation, that have been summarized in textbooks about forest genetics (Wright 1976). Provenance differences exist for almost any adaptive trait that has been measured in provenance test and for almost any species. These results contrast markedly with data based on biochemical markers as isozymes. As shown by the literature review by Hamrick et al. (1992), forest trees usually exhibit extremely low levels of differentiation for isozymes. Results derived from isozyme surveys are confirmed by ot…

Genetic variability at neutral markers, quantitative trait loci and trait in a subdivided population under selection
2003
Abstract Genetic variability in a subdivided population under stabilizing and diversifying selection was investigated at three levels: neutral markers, QTL coding for a trait, and the trait itself. A quantitative model with additive effects was used to link genotypes to phenotypes. No physical linkage was introduced. Using an analytical approach, we compared the diversity within deme (HS) and the differentiation (FST) at the QTL with the genetic variance within deme (VW) and the differentiation (QST) for the trait. The difference between FST and QST was shown to depend on the relative amounts of covariance between QTL within and between demes. Simulations were used to study the effect of se…
