Dynamical BLUP modeling of reaction norm evolution, accommodating changing environments, overlapping generations, and multivariate data

R Ergon - Ecology and Evolution, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
For theoretical studies, reaction norm evolution in a changing environment can be modeled
by means of the multivariate breeder's equation, with the reaction norm parameters treated …

Microevolutionary system identification and climate response predictions

R Ergon - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Microevolutionary system identification was introduced in, with the specific purpose to show
that predictions of genetic adaptations to climate change require that environmental …

A BLUP derivation of the multivariate breeder's equation, with an elucidation of errors in BLUP variance estimates, and a prediction method for inbred populations

R Ergon - 2022 - openarchive.usn.no
The multivariate breeder's equation, Lande (1979), was derived from the Price equation
Price (1970, 1972). Here, I present a derivation based on the BLUP (best linear unbiased …

Dynamical BLUP modeling with Robertson-Price updating of mean reaction norm parameter values

R Ergon - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
A general reaction norm model of any order can be formulated as a linear mixed model.
From this follows that estimates of mean phenotypic traits in a population (fixed effects), and …

Microevolutionary system identification and climate response predictions by use of BLUP prediction error method

R Ergon - 2023 - openarchive.usn.no
Animals and other organisms in wild populations may adjust to climate change by means of
plasticity and evolution, and it is an important task to find the contributions from each of these …
