ISBN:
Category : Animal breeding
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book contains reports presented by speakers at the Beef Cattle Short Course on Crossbreeding which was held at the University of Florida, April 12-14, 1961. The Short Course was designed to bring together the availabre information on crossbreeding of beef cattle. Accordingly, this book is a summary of what is presently known about this subject. It includes reports from Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and other areas where considerable crossbreeding work with Brahman and British breeds is being conducted.
Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics

Book Description
The impetus for this book arose out of my previous book, The Evolution of Life Histories (Roff, 1992). In that book I presented a single chapter on quanti tative genetic theory. However, as the book was concerned with the evolution of life histories and traits connected to this, the presence of quantitative genetic variation was an underlying theme throughout. Much of the focus was placed on optimality theory, for it is this approach that has proven to be extremely successful in the analysis of life history variation. But quantitative genetics cannot be ig nored, because there are some questions for which optimality approaches are inappropriate; for example, although optimality modeling can address the ques tion of the maintenance of phenotypic variation, it cannot say anything about genetic variation, on which further evolution clearly depends. The present book is, thus, a natural extension of the first. I have approached the problem not from the point of view of an animal or plant breeder but from that of one interested in understanding the evolution of quantitative traits in wild populations. The subject is large with a considerable body of theory: I generally present the assumptions underlying the analysis and the results, giving the relevant references for those interested in the intervening mathematics. My interest is in what quantitative genetics tells me about evolutionary processes; therefore, I have concentrated on areas of research most relevant to field studies.
