Table 2.

Simulated patterns of evolution for the temperature sum required for budburst (FcritBB). For each population, the changes in FcritBB within generation G0 (Cw) measures the intensity of selection, while the change between generations G0 and G5 (Cb) measures the response to selection. The phenotypic variance for FcritBB (VP) was computed at the last year of generation G5; in scenarios with h2 = 1 (B to F; Ha and Hb), VP is also the additive variance VA. In scenario A, VA = 0; in scenario G, VP = VA + VE. Population Alt1 is not shown because of low population size.
