Abstract excerpt
Australian beef cattle experience variable conditions, which may give rise to genotype-by-environment interactions depending on the genotypes' macro- and/or micro-genetic environmental sensitivity (GES). Macro-GES gives rise to genotype-by-environment interactions across definable and shared environments, while micro-GES causes heritable variation of phenotypes, e.g., the performance of progeny from one sire may...
