However, these indices, based on the survey of breeding sites with mosquito larvae, are poorly correlated with the abundance of the adult mosquito population, which is directly responsible for the disease transmission [ 2].
Since fast and stable calculation of selection intensities in multistage breeding programs is possible even for highly correlated EBV of successive stages and small proportions of selected individuals, the optimum selection index is the method of choice for the deterministic optimisation of breeding schemes using the selection index methodology.
The multimodel inference approach used here suggested that incubation shift length was influenced by the egg volume index, partner's previous shift, timing of breeding, and wind speed.
Decorrelated indices have been used for model calculations of breeding schemes for poultry [ 9, 10], beef cattle [ 11] and marker-assisted selection [ 12].

We retained the component with the highest contribution as an index of nest habitat structure, noted H, and used it as a predictor of breeding success (see below).
The objective of our study is to develop a drought yield index (DYI) that takes into account yield under both moderate and severe drought stress for the identification of breeding lines with superior performance over current cultivated varieties.
The aim of our work was to compare the results of breeding scheme optimisations when the approach of Xu and Muir [ 9] (decorrelated indices) or numerical integration (optimum indices) was used to derive selection intensities, breeding value accuracies, and Δ Ga.
