Low interspecific variation and no phylogenetic signal in additive genetic variance in wild bird and mammal populations

Abstract Evolutionary adaptation through genetic change requires genetic variation and is a key mechanism enabling species to persist in changing environments. Although a substantial body of work has focused on understanding how and why additive genetic variance (VA) differs among traits within spec...
