Magic traits: distinguishing the important from the trivial.
Servedio et al. [1], following Gavrilets [2], define a magic trait as ‘a trait subject to divergent selection and a trait contributing to non-random mating that are pleiotropic expressions of the same gene(s)’. This clarified definition is certainly helpful, but we outline here several pivotal questions for empirical research, particularly surrounding the crucial concept of effect size. The eff...

متن کاملThe strength of multivariate twin studies: testing for shared and distinctive aetiology among different sets of behavioural traits--reflections on Lewis et al. (2014).
This contribution discusses the article by Lewis et al. on the relationship between variation in normal personality and adolescent behavioural problems and puts the study into the perspective of the value of twin studies of multivariate behavioural traits, which enable the analyses of genetic pleiotropy and causality.
متن کاملMULTIPARENTAL POPULATIONS The Genetic Basis of Natural Variation in Seed Size and Seed Number and Their Trade-Off Using Arabidopsis thaliana MAGIC Lines
Offspring number and size are key traits determining an individual’s fitness and a crop’s yield. Yet, extensive natural variation within species is observed for these traits. Such variation is typically explained by trade-offs between fecundity and quality, for which an optimal solution is environmentally dependent. Understanding the genetic basis of seed size and number, as well as any possibl...
متن کاملA Tale of Two Morphs: Modeling Pollen Transfer, Magic Traits, and Reproductive Isolation in Parapatry
The evolution of the flower is commonly thought to have spurred angiosperm diversification. Similarly, particular floral traits might have promoted diversification within specific angiosperm clades. We hypothesize that traits promoting the precise positional transfer of pollen between flowers might promote diversification. In particular, precise pollen transfer might produce partial reproductiv...
