Family-based selection: an efficient method for increasing phenotypic variability.

Abstract excerpt

Persistent idiosyncrasies in behavioral phenotypes have been documented across animal taxa. These individual differences among organisms from the same genotype and reared in identical environments can result in phenotypic variability in the absence of genetic variation. While there is strong evidence to suggest that variability of traits can be heritable and determined by the genotype of an organism, little is...
