Evolvability of an avian life history trait declines with father's age.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2011

Kim S-Y, Drummond H, Torres R, Velando A

Abstract excerpt

Studies of laboratory organisms have suggested that parental age affects the genetic variance of offspring traits. This effect can engender age-specific variance in genetic contributions to evolutionary change in heritable traits under directional selection, particularly in age-structured populations. Using long-term population data of the blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii), we tested whether genetic variance of...
