DIRECT AND INDIRECT GENETIC GAINS FOR GROWTH AND REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS IN Inga edulis

Revista do Instituto Florestal
In this study parameters, correlations, and expected direct (DGg%) e indiretos (IGg%) genetic gains from mass selection and selection among progenies were estimated for growth, crown architecture, and reproductive traits in 105 open-pollinated Inga ...

Reduction of traits for genetic evaluation of linear described traits in the Old Kladruber horse

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2012
The estimated genetic parameters were used for selection of important conformation traits and reduction in the number of the described characteristics. For reduction in the number of described traits from the original 36 to 24, the traits were selected ...

The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection [PDF]

Genetics, 2000
> So melancholy a neglect of Darwin's work suggests reflections upon the use of those rare and precious possessions of man—great books. It was, we believe, the custom of the late Professor Freeman to warn his students that mastery of one great book was worth any amount of knowledge of many ...

Negative Frequency-Dependent Selection Is Frequently Confounding

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Persistent genetic variation within populations presents an evolutionary problem, as natural selection and genetic drift tend to erode genetic diversity.

Genetic linkage and natural selection [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
Abstract The prevalence of recombination in eukaryotes poses one of the most puzzling questions in biology. The most compelling general explanation is that recombination facilitates selection by breaking down the negative associations generated by random drift (i.e. Hill–Robertson interference, HRI).

Genetic Variation in Provenance-Progeny Trials of Cupre-ssus sempervirens in Türkiye

South-East European Forestry
In this study, the genetic and phenotypic relations among tree height, diameter at breast height and survival at 18 years of age were investigated in Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L. var.

A Genetical Theory of Species Selection

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1995
Species selection, differential rates of speciation or extinction resulting from species level characters, is often invoked as the main mechanism of macroevolution that is not simply an extension of microevolutionary processes. So long as we are careful in defining "species", the logic of species selection is sound.

The GS (genetic selection) Principle

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009
The GS (Genetic Selection) Principle states that biological selection must occur at the nucleotide-sequencing molecular-genetic level of 3'5' phosphodiester bond formation. After-the-fact differential survival and reproduction of already-living phenotypic organisms (ordinary natural selection) does not explain polynucleotide prescription and coding ...
