WEIGHT VARIATIONS IN NEWBORN DOMESTIC PIGS AND THE ADAPTATION PROCESS
This article shows that weight dynamics in newborn domestic pig individuals reflects adaptive changes in the gene pool of the population. Our results show that the coordination of the gene pool with altered ambient conditions in domestic pigs may be long. It includes at least two time spans in which...

description | This article shows that weight dynamics in newborn domestic pig individuals reflects adaptive changes in the gene pool of the population. Our results show that the coordination of the gene pool with altered ambient conditions in domestic pigs may be long. It includes at least two time spans in which different selection vectors act. The first period forms a positive link between weight at birth and weight in maturity, and the second period destroys that link. |
