... temperatures ( Kirk et al., 2018 ; Moghaddam et al., 2021 ; Savary et al., 2021 ). Northern GBR corals also demonstrate higher thermal tolerances compared with some central populations, in which heritable host genetic mechanisms play a role in the thermal resistance of these northern corals ( Dixon et al...

... component for athletic success in human and animal endurance sports. From a public health perspective, a high V̇ O 2 ,max is a validated negative predictor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. V̇ O 2 ,max varies by more than twofold between sedentary subjects and shows a heritability value...

...Sonya K. Auer; Ronald D. Bassar; Karine Salin; Neil B. Metcalfe ABSTRACT Metabolic rate has been linked to several components of fitness and is both heritable and repeatable to a certain extent. However, its repeatability can differ among studies, even after controlling for the time interval...

... in nature may depend on the type of thermal stress experienced. Narrow-sense heritability estimates were only significant for static basal heat knockdown time ( Table 4 ). The non-significant heritability for static hardened heat knockdown time seems to be driven by higher environmental variance...

... investigated heritability of reproductive performance in MF1 mice. Food intake, milk energy output (MEO) and litter mass were measured in mothers (F 0 ) and daughters (F 1 ) that were raising litters of 10 pups. Cross-fostering was designed so that half of each litter consisted of biological offspring...

... in the number of studies that examine the consequences of inter-individual differences in metabolic rate for organismal performance. A minimum requirement for a trait to evolve is that it must differ consistently between individuals, and these differences must be heritable. The time constancy of a trait...

...Bernt Rønning; Børge Moe; Claus Bech SUMMARY Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a physiological trait believed to show adaptational changes. Few studies have tested whether BMR shows stable between-individual variations. Repeatability indicates that the trait might be heritable and therefore a possible...
