Genetic correlations and causal effects of fighting ability on fitness traits in cattle reveal antagonistic trade-offs

Genetic correlations and causal effects of fighting ability on fitness traits in cattle reveal antagonistic trade-offs

Complex genetic and phenotypic relationships are theorized to link different fitness components but revealing the correlations occurring among disparate traits requires large datasets of pedigreed populations. In particular, the association between traits beneficial to social dominance with health a...
