Estimating heritability in a threshold trait: heat-shock tolerance in Drosophila buzzatii.

Heredity - 1 Sept 1997

Krebs R A, Loeschcke V

Abstract excerpt

Stress tolerance is often measured as a threshold trait, the proportion of a group that survives a defined stress regime. Requirements of large offspring numbers coupled with fitness variation in the surviving cohort limit the use of some standard genetic analyses for estimating heritability. The...
