Social Selection and Indirect Genetic Effects in Structured populations [PDF]

Evolutionary Biology, 2013
Social selection and indirect genetic effects (IGEs) are established concepts in both behavioural ecology and evolutionary genetics. While IGEs describe effects of an individual's genotype on phenotypes of social partners (and may thus affect their fitness indirectly), the concept of social selection assumes that a given phenotype in one individual ...

The interaction of direct and indirect risk selection [PDF]

Journal of Health Economics, 2015
This paper analyzes the interaction of direct and indirect risk selection in health insurance markets. It is shown that direct risk selection - using measures unrelated to the benefit package like selective advertising or 'losing' applications of high risk individuals - nevertheless has an influence on the distortions of the benefit package caused by ...

Selection strategies for identifying fast cooking, mineral-biofortified bean cultivars with high agronomic performance

Scientia Agricola, 2021
: Simultaneous selection for various agronomic traits, cooking time and mineral concentration are major challenges for common-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) breeding programs. The authors of this study proposed to analyze genetic gain estimates obtained by

Phenotyping for drought adaptation in wheat using physiological traits

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Wheat (Triticum spp) is one of the first domesticated food crops. It represents the first source of calories (after rice) and an important source of proteins in developing countries.

Novel Bayesian Networks for Genomic Prediction of Developmental Traits in Biomass Sorghum

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
The ability to connect genetic information between traits over time allow Bayesian networks to offer a powerful probabilistic framework to construct genomic prediction models. In this study, we phenotyped a diversity panel of 869 biomass sorghum (Sorghum

Potential for Genetic Improvement of the Main Slaughter Yields in Common Carp With in vivo Morphological Predictors

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Common carp is a major aquaculture species worldwide, commonly sold alive but also as processed headless carcass or filets. However, recording of processing yields is impossible on live breeding candidates, and alternatives for genetic improvement are ...
