Do we have a name for selection on phenotypes that - across populations of a species - stops them diverging phenotypically (i.e. opposes divergence by drift, makes Qst<Fst). Stops divergence rather than causes convergence, sort of pop-level 'stabilising' process?

17.02.2025 20:34 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 1While I agree, I wonder if societies may need to look harder at membership benefits to be attractive too. Where institutional publishing agreements already cover journal access and page charges, tangible 'benefits' (beyond group inclusion) for folk paying full membership can be limited no?

PhD opp in behavioural Evo genetics with Ned Doctermann. Never been to North Dakota, I imagine it's cold. But if you want to do a PhD in a top notch group with a kind supportive supervisor it's probably a risk worth taking.
