Genetic models for the inheritance of the silver colour mutation of foxes.

Abstract excerpt

We consider genetic models for the inheritance of the particular colour patterns of silver foxes. The models are evaluated by computation of statistical likelihoods based on observations of related foxes in extended pedigrees. Problems caused by incomplete paternity information are addressed by inferences based on phenotypic observations. The unreliability of subjective evaluations of fur colour also provides...
