Robust association tests under different genetic models, allowing for binary or quantitative traits and covariates

So, HC; Sham, PC - 2011

The association of genetic variants with outcomes is usually assessed under an additive model, for example by the trend test. However, misspecification of the genetic model will lead to a reduction in power. More robust tests for association might therefore be preferred. A useful approach is to...

Asymmetric larval mobility and the evolutionary transition from siblicide to nonsiblicidal behavior in parasitoid wasps

Pexton, John J.; Rankin, Daniel J.; Dytham, Calvin; … - In: Behavioral Ecology 14 (2003) 2, pp. 182-193

can arise through the loss of larval mobility rather than through the gain of tolerant behavior. Using analytical genetic … models, we explored whether decreased mobility presents a less stringent route to gregariousness than the gain of tolerance …
