He developed herdmate comparisons in the United States. The first extensive program using pedigree selection and progeny testing of sires for use in AI was because of his suggestion.

He became a world class competitor in track at Iowa State College and, at the same time, compiled a top academic record. His early experiences set the stage for the exceptional contributions of his animal breeding career, which did not begin until he...
متن کاملContributions to Genetic Algebras
Etherington introduced certain algebraic methods into the study of population genetics (6). It was noted that algebras arising in genetic systems tend to have certain abstract properties and that these can be used to give elegant proofs of some classical stability theorems in population genetics (4, 5, 9, 10). The aim of this paper is to both modernize the derivation of existing results and obt...
متن کاملGenetic contributions to addiction.
Even the most extreme environmentalists along the nature-nurture continuum in psychology now acknowledge that genes often contribute to individual differences in behavior. Behavioral traits are complex, reflecting the aggregate effects of many genes. These genetic effects are interactive, inter se and with the environments in which they are expressed. Human studies of addictive behaviors have c...
متن کاملGenetic contributions to sensitive parenting.
A professor from whom I took a course in graduate school asserted that journals could serve one of two functions: an archival function for articles that nailed down the details of an often paradigm-specific effect or a heuristic function, in which all the details of the findings were not yet nailed down, but the work could serve as an inspiration to others. He was squarely on the side of the he...
