Tiivistelmä
This conclusion is restricted by the limits of the used methodology. Q(ST) < F(ST) cannot always be considered as a proof for unifying selection, because in complex traits the assumption of purely additive effects of underlying genes may be violated. However, given the large differences between Q(ST) and G(ST), together with substantial heritabilities of the traits under study, we conclude that our findings are not in contradiction with the hypothesis of unifying selection.
