The variability of characters within populations is generally measured as a function of the character variance, although questions of nongeographic variation are addressed as tests of mean differences ...

The distribution of genetic variation among multiple traits is a key determinant of how a population will respond to selection (Lande, 1979; Schluter, 1996; Arnold et al., 2001). For the prediction of ...

This article proposes a new parameter, the group or class dominance probability, to measure the relative importance of random effects in one-way random effects models. This parameter is the ...

I have recently mentioned an analogy between the heritability of height & weight. That is, the proportion of variance of the trait which can be explained by variance in the genes. How closely do ...
