Sexual variation in heritability and genetic correlations of morphological traits in house sparrow (Passer domesticus).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2003

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of genetic components are important for our understanding of how individual characteristics are transferred between generations. We show that the level of heritability varies between 0.12 and 0.68 in six morphological traits in house sparrows (Passer domesticus L.) in northern Norway. Positive and negative genetic correlations were present among traits, suggesting evolutionary constraints on the...
