Revisiting the positive correlation between female size and egg size
Positive correlations between maternal size and propagule (egg, seed, embryo) size could arise for several reasons. One of these is that larger mothers may improve the survival of their offspring during a stage when large propagules typically have lower survival than small propagules. We previously developed an optimality model that incorporated this effect and used it to explain the positive c...
متن کاملGenetic Correlation between Body Fat Percentage and Cardiorespiratory Fitness Suggests Common Genetic Etiology
OBJECTIVES It has long been discussed whether fitness or fatness is a more important determinant of health status. If the same genetic factors that promote body fat percentage (body fat%) are related to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), part of the concurrent associations with health outcomes could reflect a common genetic origin. In this study we aimed to 1) examine genetic correlations between...
متن کاملFitness Distance Correlation , as statisticalmeasure of Genetic
This paper revisits past works on tness distance correlation (FDC) in relation to genetic algorithms (GA) performance , and puts forth evidence that this statistical measure is relevant to predict the performance of a GA. We propose an interpretation of Hamming-distance based FDC, which takes into account the GA dynamics and the eeects of crossover operator. We base this proposition on the noti...
متن کاملNonideal breeding habitat selection: a mismatch between preference and fitness.
The selection of breeding sites in heterogeneous habitats should ideally be based on cues closely reflecting habitat quality and thus predicting realized individual fitness. Using long-term population data and data on territory establishment of male Northern Wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe), we examined whether territory characteristics linked to individual fitness (reproductive performance and su...
متن کاملPerfect genetic correlation between number of offspring and grandoffspring in an industrialized human population.
Reproductive success is widely used as a measure of fitness. However, offspring quantity may not reflect the genetic contribution to subsequent generations if there is nonrandom variation in offspring quality. Offspring quality is likely to be an important component of human fitness, and tradeoffs between offspring quantity and quality have been reported. As such, studies using offspring quanti...
