Describing posterior distributions of variance components: Problems and the use of null distributions to aid interpretation
Pick, Joel; Kasper, Claudia; Allegue, Hassen; Dingemanse, Niels J.; Dochtermann, Ned A.; Laskowski, Kate L.; Lima, Marcos R.; Schielzeth, Holger; Westneat, David F.; Wright, Jonathan; Araya Ajoy, Yimen Gerardo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Assessing the biological relevance of variance components estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based mixed-effects models is not straightforward. Variance estimates are constrained to be greater than zero and ... -
Estimation of additive genetic variance when there are gene–environment correlations: Pitfalls, solutions and unexplored questions
Munar-Delgado, Gabriel; Araya Ajoy, Yimen Gerardo; Edelaar, Pim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Estimating the genetic variation underpinning a trait is crucial to understanding and predicting its evolution. A key statistical tool to estimate this variation is the animal model. Typically, the environment is modelled ... -
Longitudinal telomere dynamics within natural lifespans of a wild bird
Pepke, Michael Le; Kvalnes, Thomas; Wright, Jonathan; Araya Ajoy, Yimen Gerardo; Ranke, Peter Sjolte; Boner, Winnie; Monaghan, Pat; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Jensen, Henrik; Ringsby, Thor Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Telomeres, the nucleotide sequences that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, shorten with each cell division and telomere loss may be influenced by environmental factors. Telomere length (TL) decreases with age in ...
