- Stabilizing selectionsearch for term
Selection that favors maintenance of an optimal phenotype, thus tending to decrease genetic variance without changing genetic mean. Alleles of strong effect are disfavored and ultimately eliminated. (Hamblin 2011). Natural selection that favours intermediate values of a quantitative trait. (Barrett 2011)
