Reduction of cannibalism in pike (Esox lucius) fry by isolation of full-sib families [PDF]
Reproduction Nutrition Développement, 1980 After 50 days of pond culture fewer pike fingerlings (20 to 33 p. 100) were recovered from the mixing of two full-sib families than from isolated families. Growth and survival were influenced by the family effect. Environmental parameters, such as depth and extent of the banks, may also affect growth and survival.

Quantitative genetics theory for non-inbred populations in linkage disequilibrium
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2004 Although linkage disequilibrium, epistasis and inbreeding are common phenomena in genetic systems that control quantitative traits, theory development and analysis are very complex, especially when they are considered together.

Recurrent Full-sib Family Selection for Husk Extension in Sweet Corn [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2019 Corn earworm ( Helicoverpa zea ) is a costly and destructive pest in sweet corn ( Zea mays ) production. A recurrent selection experiment was conducted to assess the feasibility of selecting a sweet corn population for longer husks without shortening ...

Reciprocal recurrent selection for obtaining water-deficit tolerant maize progeny
Ciência Rural, 2021 : In view of the need to increase genetic variability to obtain materials with a significant capacity to drought tolerance, this study conducted a cycle of a reciprocal recurrent selection of full-sib families of maize.
