Ontogenetic patterns in heritable variation for body size: using random regression models in a wild ungulate population

Wilson, A.J., Coltman, D.W., Kruuk, L.E.B.
Body size is an important determinant of fitness in many organisms. While size will typically change over the lifetime of an individual, heritable components of phenotypic variance may also show ontogenetic variation. We estimated genetic (additive and maternal) and environmental covariance...
