Heritability of growth curve parameters and heritability of final size: a simulation study.

Growth, development, and aging : GDA - 1 Jan 1992

Gebhardt-Henrich S G

Abstract excerpt

Simulations of nestling growth in Great Tits (Parus major) were used to show the consequences genetic variation in the parameters of growth curves could have on the amount of genetic variation in final body weight. This was done for the case of good environmental conditions (i.e. adequate food su...
