Genetic correlations of direct and indirect genetic components of social dominance with fitness and morphology traits in cattle
Abstract Background Within the same species, individuals show marked variation in their social dominance. Studies on a handful of populations have indicated heritable genetic variation for this trait, which is determined by both the genetic background of the individual (direct genetic effect) and of...
