ABSTRACT A common, long‐held belief is that metabolic rate drives the rates of various
biological, ecological and evolutionary processes. Although this metabolic pacemaker view …

Trade‐offs between life history traits are expected to occur due to the limited amount of
resources that organisms can obtain and share among biological functions, but are of least …

Heritabilities and genetic and environmental correlations, based on multi-and single-trait
animal models, were estimated for growth and carcass traits in a mixed rainbow trout …

Selection studies for body composition traits that used mice and rats as a model for livestock
have been reviewed. Average realized heritability is higher for fat traits (0.49) than for lean …

Two groups of amago salmon (Oncorhynchus masu ishikawai) with large differences in
incidence of early maturity were reared in similar environments and periodically sampled …

In this study, our main objective was to determine whether energy restriction (ER) affects the
rate of oxygen consumption of mice transiently or lastingly and whether metabolic rate plays …

On a effectué une expérience de sélection massale sur la vitesse de croissance entre le
sevrage (30 j) et 77 j dans une souche de lapin. La souche sélectionnée se composait de 12 …

Divergent selection for heat production/loss (kcal· kg−. 75· d− 1), measured in 9-to 11-wk-old
male mice, was conducted for 15 generations. Heat loss was measured for 15 h on …

Divergent selection for heat loss (kcal· kg−. 75· d− 1), measured in 9-to 11-wk-old male mice,
was conducted for 15 generations. Selection for high (MH) and low (ML) heat loss and …

Based on the outbred mouse strain Fzt: Du, which has been obtained by systematic crossing
of four inbred and four outbred lines, a long-term selection experiment was carried out for …
