Abstract excerpt
Quantitative genetic studies of life-history traits in wild populations are very rare, yet variance/covariance estimates of these traits are crucial to understanding the evolution of reproductive strategies. We estimated heritabilities (h2) of several life-history traits (longevity, age and mass at primiparity, and reproductive traits) in two bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) populations, and both phenotypic (rP)...
