Heritability of resting metabolic rate in a wild population of blue tits.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2009

Nilsson J-A, Akesson M, Nilsson J F

Abstract excerpt

We report the first study with the aim to estimate heritability in a wild population, a nest box breeding population of blue tits. We estimated heritability as well as genetic and phenotypic correlations of resting metabolic rate (RMR), body mass and tarsus length with an animal model based on data from a split cross-fostering experiment with brood size manipulations. RMR and body mass, but not tarsus length,...
