Correlated responses in growth, body composition and efficiency were evaluated in lines of mice selected in the following ways: W(+)T i (o) , increased six-week body weight (WT6); W ยฐ T i (+) , increased six-week tail length (TL6); W(+)T i (-) , increased WT6 and decreased TL6; W(-)T i (+) , decreas

Knockdown resistance to high temperature (KRHT) is a genetically variable trait for thermal adaptation in insects. Selection for KRHT may affect a number of fitness components as well as resistance to several forms of environmental stress. To test for heritable (co)-variation in KRHT, we examined di
Development of adipose tissue in five depots was investigated in mice selected for high or low 12-week epididymal fat pad weight as a percentage of body weight (HF and LF lines), or high or low 12-week hind carcass weight as a percentage of body weight (HL and LL lines). An unselected control line (
High (H/s) and low (L/s) antibody responder lines of mice selected according to their response to the somatic (s) antigen of Salmonella (Selection IV) have unexpected inverse capacity for antibody production to rabbit gamma globulin (RGG): H/s mice are low or even nonresponders to this antigen, wher
