Plant secondary metabolites (PSM s) are ubiquitous in plants and play many ecological
roles. Each compound can vary in presence and/or quantity, and the composition of the …

Environmental variation (VE) in a quantitative trait–variation in phenotype that cannot be
explained by genetic variation or identifiable genetic differences–can be regarded as being …

Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly
return to the state pertained before exposure to a disturbance. However, indicators for …

The ability of a cow to cope with environmental disturbances, such as pathogens or heat
waves, is called resilience. To improve resilience through breeding, we need resilience …

Organisms use labile traits to respond to different conditions over short time‐scales. When a
population experiences the same conditions, we might expect all individuals to adjust their …

Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly
return to the state pertained before exposure to a disturbance. Less resilient animals are …

Background Sleep is a highly conserved behavior, yet its duration and pattern vary
extensively among species and between individuals within species. The genetic basis of …

Background Increasing resilience is a priority in modern pig breeding. Recent research
shows that general resilience can be quantified via variability in longitudinal data. The …

Generating breeding programmes that effectively improve farmed fish performance across
multiple environments and make fish more uniform within production environments would …

Traditional methods for detecting genes that affect complex diseases in humans or animal
models, milk production in livestock, or other traits of interest, have asked whether variation …
