Estimating genetic parameters in natural populations using the "animal model". (2004, background): “…levels of additive genetic variation are consistently reported underlying phenotypic traits known to be under selection (Mousseau & Roff 1987; Roff & Mousseau 1987; Pomiankowski & Møller 1995; Falconer & Mackay 1996; Lynch & Walsh 1998; Merilä & Sheldon 1999, 2001; Stirling et al. 2002).”
A framework for the study of genetic variation in migratory behaviour (2006, unknown): “This has so far been mostly done by comparison of siblings taken from the field, by breeding experiments, and by observation of individually marked animals (reviewed in: Merilä and Sheldon 2001; Pulido and Berthold 2003).”
Contribution of genetics to the study of animal personalities: a review of case studies (2005, background): “Keywords: behavioural syndrome, quantitative genetics, genotype environment interaction, reaction norm, phenotypic plasticity, context dependence, Parus major.”
Repeatability for Gaussian and non‐Gaussian data: a practical guide for biologists (2010, background): “…common (often unnoticed) confusion about the theoretical expectation that repeatability of a trait should always be higher than heritability of a trait (Boake, 1989; Dohm, 2002; Falconer & Mackay, 1996; Merilä & Sheldon, 2000), if the repeatability is calculated for individual measurements (i.e.”
Effects of spatial autocorrelation, natal philopatry and phenotypic plasticity on the heritability of laying date (2002, background): “…the existence of GEI for laying date, because doing so requires analysing trait values of closely related individuals across different environments, which can usually only be performed through partial cross-fostering of large numbers of individuals (Merilä & Fry, 1998; Merilä & Sheldon, 2001).”
Melanin- versus carotenoid-based sexual signals : is the difference really so black and red? (2006, unknown): “Again, there is great heterogeneity in the methodology of those studies that have been published (Table 3; Merilä & Sheldon 2001), ranging from father–son regression (e.g. Hill 1991), through father–son regression with fostering to control for environmental effects (e.g. Griffith et al. 1999), to…”
New Answers for Old Questions: The Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics of Wild Animal Populations (2008, methodology): “However, quantitative genetics studies do not require long-term pedigree information—for example, some of the most elegant studies of evolutionary genetics have come from single generation experimental designs (see review in Merilä & Sheldon 2001).”
Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, methodology): “Heritabilities suggest substantial potential for the evolution of seasonal timing (Helm & Gwinner 1999, 2001; Merilä & Sheldon 2001; Pulido & Berthold 2003; Sheldon et al. 2003; but see van der Jeugd & McCleery 2002).”
An ecologist's guide to the animal model. (2010, background): “…requirement for controlled and balanced breeding designs (Falconer & Mackay 1996; Lynch & Walsh 1998); its most frequent use has been in analyses of juvenile traits in avian studies, sometimes combined with cross-fostering (e.g. van Noordwijk 1984; Smith & Wettermark 1995; Merila & Sheldon 2001).”
Individual variation in spontaneous problem-solving performance among wild great tits (2011, background): “One reason for this is that behavioural traits are influenced by a great variety of environmental factors making it difficult to identify intrinsic causal factors (Merilä & Sheldon 2001).”
Maternal effects and evolution at ecological time‐scales (2007, background): “…because although many studies have documented the existence of a maternal effects component of variance (see discussions in Lynch & Walsh 1998; Merilä & Sheldon 2001; L.E.B. Kruuk & J.D. Hadfield, unpublished), far fewer have proceeded to separate the genetic from the environmental sources of…”
