Indirect genetic effects (IGE) occur when individual trait values depend on genes in others. With IGEs, heritable variance and response to selection depend on the relationship of IGEs and group size. Here I propose a model for this relationship, which can be implemented in standard restricted maximum likelihood software.
当个体特征值取决于其他个体的基因时,就会产生间接遗传效应 (IGE)。有了 IGE,可遗传方差和对选择的反应取决于 IGE 和群体大小的关系。在这里,我提出了一个关于这种关系的模型,该模型可以在标准的受限最大似然软件中实现。
