Path analysis of the genetic integration of traits in the sand cricket: a novel use of BLUPs.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2011

Roff D A, Fairbairn D J

Abstract excerpt

This study combines path analysis with quantitative genetics to analyse a key life history trade-off in the cricket, Gryllus firmus. We develop a path model connecting five traits associated with the trade-off between flight capability and reproduction and test this model using phenotypic data and estimates of breeding values (best linear unbiased predictors) from a half-sibling experiment. Strong support by both...
