The Value of Indirect Selection
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1978Conditions are developed under which progeny-testing using indirect selection can give more rapid genetic improvement than using direct selection. Analogous conditions for mass selection are given in Searle [1954].

The Strength of Indirect Selection on Female Mating Preferences
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997 An important but controversial class of hypotheses concerning the evolution of female preferences for extreme male mating displays involves “indirect selection.” Even in the absence of direct fitness effects, preference for males with high overall fitness can spread via a genetic correlation that develops between preference alleles

Conditioning on the causal network prevents indirect response to selection
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2023AbstractMultiple trait animal models (MTM) allow to estimate the breeding values (BV) of several traits simultaneously while accounting for genetic and environmental correlations among them. However, relationships among traits may not be reciprocal but rather causal in nature. In these cases, and given a causal network, structural equations models (SEM)

Indirect selective laser sintering of ceramics
2021Ceramics with intricate geometries are useful in a wide range of technical applications, but current manufacturing techniques limit the geometric complexity. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a viable approach to surmount these limitations and produce complex tailored structures.

On the Construction of an Index for Indirect Selection
Biometrics, 1965We consider artificial selection, aiming at maximum increase per generation of the breeding-value, with respect to an economically valuable quanti-tative character, t, of a strain of a domesticated animal species. Following the well-established conventions we denote this breeding-value by G, , and its increase per generation by AG, .

On selecting indirect ordination methods
Vegetatio, 1980The purpose of this paper is to compare some indirect ordination methods to determine which can best extract information from real phytosociological data. There are several comparative studies of such techniques, but few employ field data. I have distilled from the literature several hypotheses concerning the relative merits of polar ordination (PO ...

Trends in Indirect Dentistry: 1. Case Selection
Dental Update, 2005Indirect restorations can provide a conservative, functional and aesthetic method for managing a patient's dentition. These restorations, however, are only as good as the environment in which they are placed. Many restorations, though technically satisfactory, may fail because assessment and subsequent treatment planning has been unsatisfactory.

Indirect selection of implicit mutation protocols
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2012A hypothesis that mutability evolves to facilitate evolutionary adaptation is dismissed by many biologists. Their skepticism is based on a theoretical expectation that natural selection must minimize mutation rates. That view, in turn, is historically grounded in an intuitive presumption that “the vast majority of mutations are harmful.” But such ...

No obvious transcriptome‐wide signature of indirect selection in termites
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2020Abstract The evolution of sterile helper castes in social insects implies selection on genes that underlie variation in this nonreproductive phenotype. These focal genes confer no direct fitness and are presumed to evolve through indirect fitness effects on the helper's reproducing relatives.

Direct and indirect selection for yield in chickpea
Euphytica, 1992The efficiency of indirect selection for seed yield was compared with direct selection for yield per se in chickpea. A total of 2500 single F2 plants, derived from 50 crosses with 50 plants from each cross, were divided into five sub-populations (SP1 to SP5) of 500 plants each by including 10 plants from each of the 50 crosses. The five sub-populations
