Cross-cultural comparison of genetic and cultural transmission of smoking initiation using an extended twin kinship model [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Considerable evidence from twin and adoption studies indicates that genetic and shared environmental factors play a role in the initiation of smoking behavior.

Estimation of genetic associations between reproduction and production traits based on a sire and dam line with common ancestry

Animal, 2009
Genetic parameters for survival, reproduction and production traits were estimated for a sire and dam line, originating from one Large White breed separated more than 25 years ago.

Genetic basis of growth, spring phenology, and susceptibility to biotic stressors in maritime pine

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Forest ecosystems are increasingly challenged by extreme events, for example, drought, storms, pest attacks, and fungal pathogen outbreaks, causing severe ecological and economic losses.

Genetic parameter estimates for plasma oxidative status traits in slaughter pigs [PDF]

, 2020
The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of sex and to estimate genetic parameters for several traits related to plasma oxidative status in slaughter pigs, i.e., ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), concentrations of a-tocopherol and ...

The reliability and heritability of cortical folds and their genetic correlations across hemispheres

bioRxiv, 2019
Cortical folds help drive the parcellation of the human cortex into functionally specific regions. Variations in the length, depth, width, and surface area of these sulcal landmarks have been associated with disease, and may be genetically mediated ...

Genomic Correlations Between the Gaits of Young Horses Measured by Accelerometry and Functional Longevity in Jumping Competition

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Functional longevity is essential for the well-being of horses and the satisfaction of riders. Conventional selection using longevity breeding values calculated from competition results is not efficient because it takes too long to obtain reliable ...

Selection, inheritance, and the evolution of parent-offspring interactions

, 2004
Very few studies have examined parent-offspring interactions from a quantitative genetic perspective. We used a cross-fostering design and measured genetic correlations and components of social selection arising from two parental and two offspring ...

Opsin expression predicts male nuptial color in threespine stickleback. [PDF]

, 2018
Theoretical models of sexual selection suggest that male courtship signals can evolve through the build-up of genetic correlations between the male signal and female preference.

Cross‐sex genetic correlations for fitness and fitness components: Connecting theoretical predictions to empirical patterns

Evolution Letters, 2019
Sex differences in morphology, physiology, development, and behavior are widespread, yet the sexes inherit nearly identical genomes, causing most traits to exhibit strong and positive cross‐sex genetic correlations.
