Heritability of body mass varies with age and season in wild bighorn sheep

Heritabilities ( h 2 ) of body mass at different ages and seasons were estimated using offspring–mother regression and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) methods for bighorn sheep on Ram Mountain, Alberta. Both methods resulted in similar estimates of h 2 for adults, but for lambs and yearlings he...
