Quantitative genetics of maximal oxygen consumption in a garter snake.

The American journal of physiology - 1 Nov 1990

Garland T, Bennett A F

Abstract excerpt

Broad-sense heritabilities and genetic correlations of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), blood hemoglobin levels, and ventricle mass were estimated in a natural population of snakes. Traits were measured for six or fewer presumed full-sibling offspring from each of 45 wild-caught gravid garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis). VO2max was highly reproducible between replicate trial days (r = 0.88). In an attempt to...
