Heritability of morphological traits in Darwin's finches: misidentified paternity and maternal effects.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2001

Keller L F, Grant P R, Grant B R, Petren K

Abstract excerpt

We studied the influence of extra-pair paternity on heritability estimates of morphological traits in a population of the Medium Ground Finch (Geospiza fortis) on Isla Daphne Major, Galápagos. Data from eight microsatellite loci were used to determine parentage. Six morphological traits measured on each finch were represented by two separate principal components analyses, one for the three bill measurements and...
