Direct and indirect IQ heritability estimates: a puzzle.
Direct estimates of IQ heritability based on a single family relationship such as adopted-apart relatives are often 50% greater than indirect estimates that rely on differences in correlations such as the classical twin method or nonadoptive-adoptive comparisons. Factors such as nonadditive genetic variance, assortative mating, selective placement, measurement error, age differences, and genoty...
متن کاملCausation and Mental Causation
How the mind of a human being can determine the bodily spirits [i.e., the fluids in the nerves, muscles, etc.] in producing voluntary actions, being only a thinking substance. For it appears that all determination of movement is produced by the pushing of the thing being moved, by the manner in which it is pushed by that which moves it, or else by the qualification and figure of the surface of ...
متن کاملCausation entropy identifies indirect influences, dominance of neighbors and anticipatory couplings
Inference of causality is central in nonlinear time series analysis and science in general. A popular approach to infer causality between two processes is to measure the information flow between them in terms of transfer entropy. Using dynamics of coupled oscillator networks, we show that although transfer entropy can successfully detect information flow in two processes, it often results in er...
متن کاملCommunity heritability measures the evolutionary consequences of indirect genetic effects on community structure.
The evolutionary analysis of community organization is considered a major frontier in biology. Nevertheless, current explanations for community structure exclude the effects of genes and selection at levels above the individual. Here, we demonstrate a genetic basis for community structure, arising from the fitness consequences of genetic interactions among species (i.e., interspecific indirect ...
متن کاملHeritability of Indirect Bread- making Quality Traits in Segregating Generations of Two Winter Wheat Crosses
Modern wheat breeding programs aim to create cultivars with high genetic potential for yield and bread-making quality. Th e eff ectiveness of selection in segregating generations depends on the heritability of the traits under selection and on the correlations among traits. Th e aim of this study was to compare realized heritability of 1000 kernel weight and fi ve indirect bread-making quality ...
