This research program as the potential to change the way evolutionary biologists view how selection changes the available patterns of genetic variance and covariance. In particular, it will highlight the possibility that a lack of genetic variance in multi-trait systems may be an important mechanism that limits the response to selection. It is therefore addresses a fundamental problem in quantitative genetics that underlies selection limits in evolution and agriculture.

这个研究项目有可能改变进化生物学家对选择如何改变遗传变异和协方差的现有模式的看法。特别是，它将强调在多性状系统中缺乏遗传变异可能是限制对选择反应的重要机制的可能性。因此，它解决了数量遗传学中的一个基本问题，这个问题是进化和农业中选择限制的基础。
