Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2021 In this study, milk yield, reproductive yield, and type traits of 533 Holstein cows in the first lactation raised in 54 farms were examined. In the three-year study, phenotypic (rP) and genetic (rG) correlations between type traits and milk yield were ...

Adaptive divergence and the evolution of hybrid trait mismatch in threespine stickleback
Evolution Letters, 2022 Selection against mismatched traits in hybrids is the phenotypic analogue of intrinsic hybrid incompatibilities. Mismatch occurs when hybrids resemble one parent population for some phenotypic traits and the other parent population for other traits, and ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Divergence in phenotypic traits is facilitated by a combination of natural selection, phenotypic plasticity, gene flow, and genetic drift, whereby the role of drift is expected to be particularly important in small and isolated populations.

Selection and the direction of phenotypic evolution
eLife, 2023 Predicting adaptive phenotypic evolution depends on invariable selection gradients and on the stability of the genetic covariances between the component traits of the multivariate phenotype.

Genomic and Phenotypic Udder Evaluation for Dairy Cattle Selection: A Review
Animals, 2023 The traditional point of view regarding dairy cattle selection has been challenged by recent genomic studies indicating that livestock productivity prediction can be redefined based on the evaluation of genomic and phenotypic data.

Adaptive divergence in resistance to herbivores in Datura stramonium [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Defensive traits exhibited by plants vary widely across populations. Heritable phenotypic differentiation is likely to be produced by genetic drift and spatially restricted gene flow between populations.

A synthesis of bacterial and archaeal phenotypic trait data [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2020 AbstractA synthesis of phenotypic and quantitative genomic traits is provided for bacteria and archaea, in the form of a scripted, reproducible workflow that standardizes and merges 26 sources. The resulting unified dataset covers 14 phenotypic traits, 5 quantitative genomic traits, and 4 environmental characteristics for approximately 170,000 strain ...

Artificial selection on phenotypically plastic traits
Genetical Research, 1999 Many phenotypes respond physiologically or developmentally to continuously distributed environmental variables such as temperature and nutritional quality. Information about phenotypic plasticity can be used to improve the efficiency of artificial selection.

Properties of phenotypic plasticity in discrete threshold traits [PDF]
Evolution, 2021 Forms of phenotypic plasticity in key traits, and forms of selection on and genetic variation in such plasticity, fundamentally underpin phenotypic, population dynamic, and evolutionary responses to environmental variation and directional change. Accordingly, numerous theoretical and empirical studies have examined properties and consequences of ...
