Table 2.

Standardized directional selection gradients (β) and the matrix of standardized quadratic and correlational selection gradients (γ) during first 19 generations following population establishment in northwestern Montana, USA. The effects of sex controlled statistically in general linear model. Last data for selection were collected for the 18th generation.
