A robust new metric of phenotypic distance to estimate and compare multiple trait differences among populations

A robust new metric of phenotypic distance to estimate and compare multiple trait differences among populations

Whereas a rich literature exists for estimating population genetic divergence, metrics of phenotypic trait divergence are lacking, particularly for comparing multiple traits among three or more populations. Here, we review and analyze via simulation Hedges’ g, a widely used parametric estimate of ef...
