Genetic basis of the trade-off between offspring number and quality in the bank vole.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2004

Mappes Tapio, Koskela Esa

Abstract excerpt

One of the main tenets of modern life-history theory is the negative relationship (trade-off) between the number and quality of offspring produced. Theory predicts a negative genetic correlation between these traits since both are closely related to fitness of individuals. However, the genetic ba...
