Quantitative genetics

the point at which continued artificial selection yields no further response, predicted from population size, selection intensity and initial gene effects.

In quantitative genetics, selection limit refers to the point at which continued artificial selection yields no further response, predicted from population size, selection intensity and initial gene effects. This meaning comes from Robertson (1960) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences.[1]
