Evolution and the Growth Process: Natural Selection of Entrepreneurial Traits [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 This research suggests that a Darwinian evolution of entrepreneurial spirit played a significant role in the process of economic development and the dynamics of inequality within and across societies. The study argues that entrepreneurial spirit evolved non-monotonically in the course of human history.

Genetic association of growth traits with carcass and meat traits in Nellore cattle
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015 The aim of this study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic associations of growth traits with carcass and meat traits in Nellore cattle. Data from male and female animals were used for weaning weight (WW; N = 241,416), yearling weight (YW, N = 126,596), weight gain from weaning to yearling (GWY, N = 78,687), and yearling hip height (YHH, N = 90,720),

Association between leptin gene polymorphism and growth traits in Bali cattle
Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture, 2023 Leptin (LEP) gene produces hormone leptin which is secreted by adipose tissue, and plays an im-portant role in energy balance, regulating feed intake, regulating endocrine function, and immune functions.

Polymorphisms in GJA1 and their association with growth traits in chicken
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015 This study aimed to screen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the chicken gap junction protein alpha 1 (GJA1) gene, and to investigate their association with five growth traits measured in 269 chickens encompassing Chinese indigenous Beijing-You (BJY) and commercial Cobb broiler (CB) populations.

Evolution of Microbial Growth Traits Under Serial Dilution [PDF]
Genetics, 2019 Abstract Selection of mutants in a microbial population depends on multiple cellular traits. In serial-dilution evolution experiments, three key traits are the lag time when transitioning from starvation to growth, the exponential growth rate, and the yield (number of cells per unit resource).
