Selection on plasticity of seasonal life-history traits using random regression mixed model analysis
Theory considers the covariation of seasonal life-history traits as an optimal reaction norm, implying that deviating from this reaction norm reduces fitness. However, the estimation of reaction-norm properties (i.e., elevation, linear slope, and higher order slope terms) and the selection on these is statistically challenging. We here advocate the use of random regression mixed models to estim...
متن کاملPlasticity in life-history traits.
We describe the impact of recent life-history plasticity theory on insect studies, particularly on the interface between genetics and plasticity. We focus on the three-dimensional relationship between three key life-history traits: adult size (or mass), development time and growth rate, and the connections to life cycle regulation, host plant choice, and sexual selection in seasonal environment...
متن کاملEffects of genetic perturbation on seasonal life history plasticity.
Like many species, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits multiple different life histories in natural environments. We grew mutants impaired in different signaling pathways in field experiments across the species' native European range in order to dissect the mechanisms underlying this variation. Unexpectedly, mutational loss at loci implicated in the cold requirement for flowering had ...
متن کاملPomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae): life-history traits and their plasticity.
Freshwater snails belonging to the Ampullariidae family show noteworthy anatomical, physiological and ecological characteristics (Berthold, 1991), which have captivated scientific interest since long ago. However, few field studies have focussed on apple snail population dynamics (Burky, 1974; Lum Kong and Kenny, 1989). International concern about the Argentinean apple snail Pomacea canaliculat...

introduction productive traits such as milk production and fat and protein percentage have economic importance in the livestock industry. accurate prediction of breeding value of animals is one of the best tools available for maximizing response to selection program. it is a fact that the main objective of the breeding program, is to achieve the maximum economic benefit. for breeders of dairy c...
