the result that the change in a trait mean from selection equals the additive genetic covariance between the trait and relative fitness.

In quantitative genetics, Robertson's secondary theorem of natural selection refers to the result that the change in a trait mean from selection equals the additive genetic covariance between the trait and relative fitness. This meaning comes from Robertson (1966) in Animal Science.[1]
