Primes

• Selection Vs Transmission Decomposition
  • The Price equation is the canonical formal statement of this decomposition.

    This sourceStates the Price equation: the change in a population's mean trait splits exactly into a covariance-of-trait-with-fitness (selection) term and a fitness-weighted within-unit (transmission) term.

• Variance Bounds Selection Response
  • The Price equation, in its most general form, is the formal apparatus that makes the cross-domain identity rigorous — but the intuition (variance bounds response) is portable without the formalism, and the formal version is available when precision is needed.
