Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the genetic determination of environmental variance. In the case of litter size, environmental variance can be related to the capacity of animals to adapt to new environmental conditions, which can improve animal welfare. RESULTS: We developed a ten-generation divergent selection experiment on environmental variance. We selected one line of...
