The early-life environment of a pig shapes the phenotypes of its social partners in adulthood.

Heredity - 1 Jun 2017

Canario L, Lundeheim N, Bijma P

Abstract excerpt

Social interactions among individuals are abundant, both in natural and domestic populations, and may affect phenotypes of individuals. Recent research has demonstrated that the social effect of an individual on the phenotype of its social partners may have a genetic component, known as an indirect genetic effect (IGE). Little is known, however, of nongenetic factors underlying such social effects. Early-life...
