Abstract

Heritability of a feeding response was very similar in two conspecific populations despite divergence in average behaviour. These results support the view that genetic variances evolve more slowly than phenotypic means. One locus models with absolute penetrance gave poor fits to family data from both populations. © 1983, The Genetical Society of Great Britain.
