Ontogeny of additive and maternal genetic effects: lessons from domestic mammals.

The American naturalist - 1 Jan 2006

Wilson Alastair J, Reale Denis

Abstract excerpt

Evolution of size and growth depends on heritable variation arising from additive and maternal genetic effects. Levels of heritable (and nonheritable) variation might change over ontogeny, increasing through "variance compounding" or decreasing through "compensatory growth." We test for these processes using a meta-analysis of age-specific weight traits in domestic ungulates. Generally, mean standardized variance...
