22. A correction to our earlier paper on ‘The effect of repeated cycles of selection and regeneration in populations of finite size’

Abstract

The basic recurrence equations given in our previous paper have to be modified when males and females are differentiated. The modifications we gave are incorrect because we ignored the deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium when sampling and selection are applied separately to the two sexes. Appropriate corrections are presented in this paper.

23. The general importance of disruptive selection (A comment on Waddington and Robertson's recent paper)

Abstract

In their recent paper, Waddington & Robertson (1966) discuss the general importance of disruptive selection and make various points that call for comment.First, their statement that ‘It is most desirable that Thoday's results … should be repeated, with special attention to the strict virginity of the flies used, …’ appears to some readers as a scarcely veiled imputation that my experiments, especially that of Thoday & Gibson (1962), were executed without technical competence, though Waddington has informed me such imputation was not intended.
