An understanding of the origin and dynamics of heritable genetic variation within classical animal breeding programs is needed to provide the context for understanding the contributions and concerns ...

Production traits in farm animals are mostly quantitative traits. They have continuously distributed phenotypes that do not show simple Mendelian inheritance. These traits are controlled by a large ...

Co-occurring species provide layers of information about how evolution has shaped the distribution and abundance of genetic diversity across their shared landscape. Spatial genetic patterns can be ...
