Is Cladogenesis Heritable? [PDF]

Systematic Biology, 2002
The heritability of speciation rates and extinction risks is a crucial parameter in models of macroevolution, but little direct evidence has been available to assess the occurrence, strength, or generality of this heritability. We tested for heritability using correlations between ancestral and descendent branch lengths in phylogenetic trees, an ...

The Heritability of Mating Behaviour in a Fly and Its Plasticity in Response to the Threat of Sperm Competition [PDF]

, 2014
Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which animals can cope with rapidly changeable environments, but the evolutionary lability of such plasticity remains unclear.

Assumptions and properties of limiting pathway models for analysis of epistasis in complex traits.

PLoS ONE, 2013
For most complex traits, results from genome-wide association studies show that the proportion of the phenotypic variance attributable to the additive effects of individual SNPs, that is, the heritability explained by the SNPs, is substantially less than

Heritability of scoliosis [PDF]

European Spine Journal, 2011
To estimate the heritability of scoliosis in the Swedish Twin Registry.Self-reported data on scoliosis from 64,578 twins in the Swedish Twin Registry were analysed. Prevalence, pair- and probandwise concordances and tetrachoric correlations in mono- and dizygotic same-sex twins were calculated. The relative importance of genetic variance, i.e.

Heritability of Growth Traits of Simmental Cattle in Balai Pembibitan Ternak Unggul-Hijauan Pakan Ternak (BPTU-HPT), Padang Mengatas, West Sumatra, Indonesia

Jurnal Peternakan Indonesia, 2017
This study is proposed to determine the heritability of growth traits of Simmental cattle in BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas, West Sumatra. Data were collected by observations and measurements of the cattle in the field, completed by the secondary data from ...

“… wise, amazed, temp’rate, and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment”: first heritability analysis of affective temperaments reports remarkably high SNP-based heritability

European Psychiatry, 2023
Introduction Depression shows a moderate heritability of 37-42%, which can be up to 75% in severely depressed samples 75%. At the same time SNP-based heritability of depression in GWAS-s is around 8-9%.

Estimating quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations:A comparison of pedigree and genomic approaches [PDF]

, 2014
The estimation of quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations is generally limited by the accuracy and completeness of the available pedigree information. Using relatedness at genome-wide markers can potentially remove this limitation and lead to

Quantifying missing heritability at known GWAS loci.

PLoS Genetics, 2013
Recent work has shown that much of the missing heritability of complex traits can be resolved by estimates of heritability explained by all genotyped SNPs.
