Abstract excerpt
The additive genetic variance (VA) of fitness quantifies the expected response to selection. Lifetime reproductive success (LRS) is an effective metric of lifetime fitness in animal population, while time-limited fitness metrics such as annual survival or fertility can help to identify which fitness component-e.g., annual survival or fertility-harbors the most VA in fitness. Here, we estimated the VA and...
