Sam Scheiner asked for references experiments involving simultaneous selection on several characters. Here are a few: Clayton, G.A., et al. 1957. An experimental check on quantitative genetical theory. III. Correlated responses. Journal of Genetics 55: 171-180. Young, S.S.Y. & H. Weiler. 1960. Selection for two correlated traits by independent culling levels. J. of Genetics, 57: 329-38. Bell, A.E. and M.J. Burris. 1973. Simultaneous selection for two correlated traits in Tribolium. Genet. Res. Camb., 21:29-46. Sen, B.K. and A. Robertson. 1964. An experimental examination of methods for the simultaneous selection of two characters, using D. melanogaster. Genetics, 50: 199-209. Rasmuson, M. 1964. Combined selection for two bristle characters in Drosophila. Hereditas, 51:231-256. Rutledge, Eisen and Legates 1973. Genetics, 75:709. Joe Felsenstein's "Bibliography of Theoretical Population Genetics" would probably have additional references.
