Direct and indirect genetic and fine-scale location effects on breeding date in song sparrows.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

Quantifying direct and indirect genetic effects of interacting females and males on variation in jointly expressed life-history traits is central to predicting microevolutionary dynamics. However, accurately estimating sex-specific additive genetic variances in such traits remains difficult in wild populations, especially if related individuals inhabit similar fine-scale environments. Breeding date is a key...
