Quantitative genetics of ontogeny of sexual dimorphism in red junglefowl (Gallus gallus).

Heredity - 1 Nov 2005

Parker T H, Garant D

Abstract excerpt

We studied phenotypic patterns and underlying quantitative genetics of development of sexual size dimorphism in red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Using a multigenerational pedigree and the 'animal model' technique, we found significant heritability for many of the size and growth-related traits we examined, as well as significant genetic correlations among them. Despite sexual size dimorphism throughout...
