Pedigree-free estimates of heritability in the wild: promising prospects for selfing populations
L Gay, M Siol, J Ronfort - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Estimating the genetic variance available for traits informs us about a population's ability to
evolve in response to novel selective challenges. In selfing species, theory predicts a loss of …
