The variance in a quantitative trait as a function of allele frequency and association of the trait with fitness. The distribution of trait effects is assumed to be a gamma distribution with a shape parameter of 0.23. The curves going from left to right show decreasing association with fitness: β = 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001.
