... ii. Continuous fitness data (e.g., fertility, seed set, growth rate, etc) can be analyzed by calculating the slope of the regression of relative fitness (or a component of fitness) on trait value. This slope is equal to the selection gradient β appearing in equation (3) of section II. Multiplying th ...
