TLDR
An extended form of Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection gives the rate of change of the mean value of a measured character, which reduces to Kimura's generalization of Fisher’s Fundamental The theorem.Citations

An Introduction to Genetic Statistics
TL;DR: This book is written to provide basic probability ideas in terms of genetic situations, since the theory of genetics is a probability theory, and to give a definitive treatment of applications of these ideas to genetic theory.

Perspectives in Ethology
Patrick Bateson,Peter H. Klopfer +1 more
TL;DR: Nine chapters on diverse topics that include an analysis of whether sociobiology has killed ethology or revitalized it and aims, limitations, and the future of ethology and comparative ethology.

Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics: How Little Do We Know?
TL;DR: This review indicates that few experiments approach basic issues such as the number of loci that contribute to within-population variation, the rate of polygenic mutation, the extent of pleiotropy, the mechanisms that maintain additive variance, and the reasons for reduced fitness of extreme phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The measurement of selection on quantitative traits: biases due to environmental covariances between traits and fitness.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phenotypic covariance between fitness and a trait, used as an estimate of the selection differential in estimating selection gradients, has two components: a component induced by selection itself and a component due to the effect of environmental factors on fitness.
