The Price equation as a bridge between animal breeding and evolutionary biology.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Apr 2020

Bijma P

Abstract excerpt

The genetic response to selection is central to both evolutionary biology and animal and plant breeding. While Price's theorem (PT) is well-known in evolutionary biology, most breeders are unaware of it. Rather than using PT, breeders express response to selection as the product of the intensity of selection (i), the accuracy of selection (ρ) and the additive genetic standard deviation (σA); R = iρσA. In contrast...
