Importance of Genetic–Fitness Correlations for the Conservation of Amphibians [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Endangered animals suffer from isolation of their habitats. Isolation leads to a reduction in population size as well as a decrease in genetic diversity and a concomitant increase in the risk of extinction.

Inferring genetic fitness from genomic data [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 The genetic composition of a naturally developing population is considered as due to mutation, selection, genetic drift and recombination. Selection is modeled as single-locus terms (additive fitness) and two-loci terms (pairwise epistatic fitness).

Inferring genetic interactions from comparative fitness data
eLife, 2017 Darwinian fitness is a central concept in evolutionary biology. In practice, however, it is hardly possible to measure fitness for all genotypes in a natural population.

The genetics of physical fitness [PDF]
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2000 Editor,—Might I briefly comment on Dr Lavin's observation that elite athletes, whom he classes as “freak”, “are as removed from real life as it is possible to …

Fitness Determinants of Influenza A Viruses
Viruses, 2023 Influenza A (IAV) is a major human respiratory pathogen that causes illness, hospitalizations, and mortality annually worldwide. IAV is also a zoonotic pathogen with a multitude of hosts, allowing for interspecies transmission, reassortment events, and ...

The intersexual genetic correlation for lifetime fitness in the wild and its implications for sexual selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: The genetic benefits of mate choice are limited by the degree to which male and female fitness are genetically correlated. If the intersexual correlation for fitness is small or negative, choosing a highly fit mate does not necessarily result

Genetic algorithm parenting fitness
Mathematical Modeling and Computing, 2023 The evolution scheme phase, in which the genetic algorithms select individuals that will form the new population, had an important impact on these algorithms. Many approaches exist in the literature. However, these approaches consider only the value of the fitness function to differenciate best solutions from the worst ones.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 A biological life support system for spaceflight would capture carbon dioxide waste produced by living and working in space to generate useful organic compounds. Photosynthesis is the primary mechanism to fix carbon into organic molecules. Microalgae are
