Are quantitative genetic constraints to morphological evolution important on an evolutionary time scale? an empirical investigation in field crickets

The evolutionary importance of genetic constraints has always been recognized by biologists, but very little data is available to quantitatively assess the role of constraints in shaping the biology of organisms. The field of quantitative genetics provides the tools necessary to study evolutionar...
