Group selection for adaptation to multiple-hen cages: beak-related mortality, feathering, and body weight responses.
The hypothesis was tested that selection on the basis of family means for increased survival and hen-housed egg production, when sisters with intact beaks were kept together in multiple-bird cage, would cause adaptive changes in behavior. Specifically, it was posited that beak-inflicted injuries causing cannibalistic mortality and feather loss and damage would be reduced. Body weight effects we...
متن کاملDirect and Correlated Responses to Selection
Hemolymph juvenile hormone esterase (JHE) activity on the third day of the last stadium in the cricket, Gryllus assirnilis, exhibited a significant response to selection in each of six replicate lines. Mean realized heritability was 0.26 t 0.04. The response was due to changes in whole-organism enzyme activity as well as to changes in the proportion of enzyme allocated to the hemolymph compartm...
متن کاملComparision of Direct and Indirect Response to Selection for Breast Weight in Japanese Quail
This study was carried out to investigate the direct and indirect responses to selection for four-week body weight (4 week body (wk BW)) and four-week breast weight (4 week breast weight (wk BRW)) and to determine the genetic contribution of reminder founders to the last generation. A total number of 351 birds were equally allocated to three lines, including two selected lines (S1 and S2 for BW...
متن کاملGroup Selection as Behavioral Adaptation to Systematic Risk
Despite many compelling applications in economics, sociobiology, and evolutionary psychology, group selection is still one of the most hotly contested ideas in evolutionary biology. Here we propose a simple evolutionary model of behavior and show that what appears to be group selection may, in fact, simply be the consequence of natural selection occurring in stochastic environments with reprodu...
متن کاملSentence Selection by Direct Likelihood Maximization for Language Model Adaptation
A general framework of language model task adaptation is to select documents in a large training set based on a language model estimated on a development data. However, this strategy has a deficiency that the selected documents are biased to the most frequent patterns in the development data. To address this problem, a new task adaptation method is proposed that selects documents in the trainin...
