Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

Fossil samples almost always accumulate on timescales much longer than the life spans of individual organisms. This time-averaging has the potential to inflate the variability of fossil samples ...

Tables were compiled to show coefficients of variation for different experimental designs to estimate genetic heritability. It is concluded that in order to obtain estimates precise enough for their ...

Unicellular, motile, phototropic green algae were extracted from soil samples taken at metre intervals along a 25-m transect in a wheat field. The vegetative growth of 61 randomly selected isolates ...

Variance is a statistical calculation that numerically describes the amount of variation in a data set. If values in a data set wildly fluctuate, variance would be high and predictions based on the ...

In a recent article posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, scientists characterized the effect of individual infectiousness variance on the transmission heterogeneity of severe acute respiratory ...

Assess a discrete measurement. Perform analyzes for potential and long term control and capability. Make decisions on measurement systems process improvement. In this module, we will learn to identify ...
