In addition to selection for more sperm, postcopulatory sexual selection appears to select for higher quality sperm in the Maluridae.
These results indicated the necessity of appropriate reference gene selection for more accurate analysis of gene expression.
As a part of a Nordic project "Selection for more confident foxes" selection experiments with blue foxes lasting 4 years were arranged in Finland and Norway.
Over time there would have been selection for more annuality and reduced vegetative growth (shorter and straighter growth habit), as well as increasing grain yields and grain size.
The measures of pig behavior studied were heritable and selection for more docile pigs should not have large detrimental effects on performance.
The parameter selection for more flexible tensor models such as BTD- (L r,L r,1) is the topic of still ongoing research (see Section 4 for an overview) and is out of the scope of this paper.
Similarly, selection for more rapid growth has had the consequence of drawing resources away from features such as brain size and acuity of sense organs in domesticated animals (Diamond 2002).
If the behavior is passed on to offspring whereby female peacocks make such decisions based on a proxy like plumage, there will be positive selection for more elaborate plumage.
Then Tanimura & Antle, also of Salinas, acquired a one-third stake in Natural Selection for more than $2 million, helping Earthbound gain access to what would become 15,000 acres, 75% of which is now devoted to organic produce.
