| Abstract: | Summary Heritability is well known to be a poor indicator of genetical variation in fitness. We show here that it is also an inadequqte measure of genetical variation in fecundity.Acknowledgment. Part of this work was carried out while one of us (O. M.) was on sabbatical leave in the Genetics Laboratory, Oxford University. We thank Dr G. J. Thomson for stimulating discussion. |
