Estimating genetic parameters in natural populations using the "animal model".

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Jun 2004

Kruuk Loeske E B

Abstract excerpt

Estimating the genetic basis of quantitative traits can be tricky for wild populations in natural environments, as environmental variation frequently obscures the underlying evolutionary patterns. I review the recent application of restricted maximum-likelihood "animal models" to multigenerational data from natural populations, and show how the estimation of variance components and prediction of breeding values...
