The Genetic and Environmental Sources of Resemblance Between Normative Personality and Personality Disorder Traits [PDF]
, 2017 Recent work has suggested a high level of congruence between normative personality, most typically represented by the big five factors, and abnormal personality traits.

Genetic and environmental influences on eating behavior - a study of twin pairs reared apart or reared together [PDF]
, 2012 This study examined the relative influence of genetic versus environmental factors on specific aspects of eating behavior. Adult monozygotic twins (22 pairs and 3 singleton reared apart, 38 pairs and 9 singleton reared together, age 18-76 years, BMI 17 ...

Dissecting genetic effects with imprinting
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Models of genetic effects are mathematical representations of a genotype-to-phenotype (GP) map that, rather than accounting for a raw map assigning phenotypes to genotypes, rely on parameters with deliberate evolutionary meaning—additive and interaction ...

Sex-specific genetic effects influence variation in body composition [PDF]
, 2008 Aims/hypothesis: Despite well-known sex differences in body composition it is not known whether sex-specific genetic or environmental effects contribute to these differences.

Once upon Multivariate Analyses: When They Tell Several Stories about Biological Evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Geometric morphometrics aims to characterize of the geometry of complex traits. It is therefore by essence multivariate. The most popular methods to investigate patterns of differentiation in this context are (1) the Principal Component Analysis (PCA ...

How to perform meaningful estimates of genetic effects. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2008 Although the genotype-phenotype map plays a central role both in Quantitative and Evolutionary Genetics, the formalization of a completely general and satisfactory model of genetic effects, particularly accounting for epistasis, remains a theoretical ...
