Abstract excerpt
Genetic connectedness between management units quantifies the extent to which estimated breeding values (EBV) can be accurately compared across management units or subpopulations. When there is a sufficient level of genetic connectedness, best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) of EBV enables fair comparisons across these units. Genotype-by-environment (G × E) interaction can alter an individual's expression of...
