Abstract excerpt
Reciprocal cross effects (i.e., differences between reciprocal hybrids that are developed by reversing the strains from which the dam and the sire are taken) are commonly used as a measure of sex-linkage or maternal effects. However, the papers reporting parental effects on life span of experimental animals are scarce. In order to investigate the potential of parent-of-origin effects for the longevity of hybrids,...
