With stabilizing selection, you would predict the mean value of a trait to stay the same and the genetic variation in the trait value to decrease.
What is the meaning of stabilizing selection?
Stabilizing selection is a descriptive term for what happens to an individual trait when the extremes of the trait are selected against. This increases the frequency of the trait in the population, and the alleles and genes which help form it.
Classic examples of traits that resulted from stabilizing selection include human birth weight, number of offspring, camouflage coat color, and cactus spine density.
Stabilizing selection occurs when the population stabilizes on a particular trait value and genetic diversity decreases.
