The effects of supergene evolution on the structure and stability of the G-matrix
It is shown that inversions evolve under disruptive selection and are maintained by balancing selection because they preserve associations among alleles that together generate discrete phenotypic morphs, and stabilise the overall amount of additive genetic variation through time.
