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 …

Phenotypes vary hierarchically among taxa and populations, among genotypes within
populations, among individuals within genotypes, and also within individuals for repeatedly …

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 …

Genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is a fundamental component in understanding
complex trait variation. However, it remains challenging to identify genetic variants with GEI …

There is evidence across several species for genetic control of phenotypic variation of
complex traits,,,, such that the variance among phenotypes is genotype dependent …

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 …

Understanding the genetic architecture (causal molecular variants, their effects, and
frequencies) of quantitative traits is important for precision agriculture and medicine and …

Quantitative genetics has primarily focused on describing genetic effects on trait means and
largely ignored the effect of alternative alleles on trait variability, potentially missing an …

Aquaculture currently accounts for approximately half of all seafood produced and is the
fastest growing farmed food sector globally. Marine bivalve aquaculture, the farming of …

Many aspects of animal behaviour differ consistently between individuals, giving rise to the
growing field of animal personality research. While between‐individual variation has long …
