DOI: 10.1007/s10519-018-9930-2
Abstract: Indirect genetic effects (IGEs; the heritable influence of one organism on a conspecific) can affect the evolutionary dynamics of complex traits, including behavior. Voluntary wheel running is an important model system in quantitative genetic studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.10.028
Abstract: Indirect genetic effects (IGEs) are a major driver of social evolution, but much of the experimental work pertaining to IGEs on social behaviour has focused on the effect of stimulus individuals on single focal individuals.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1751731118001192
Abstract: An alternative implementation of the animal model including indirect genetic effect (IGE) is presented considering pair-mate-specific interaction degrees to improve the performance of the model. Data consisted of average daily gain (ADG) records from 663… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-02814-x
Abstract: Including Indirect Genetic Effects (IGE) in breeding programs to reduce aggression in group housed animals has been proposed. However, the effect of selection for IGE for growth on animal metabolism and physiology is unknown. The… read more here.

Social structure and indirect genetic effects: genetics of social behaviour
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biological Reviews"
DOI: 10.1111/brv.12267
Abstract: The social environment modulates gene expression, physiology, behaviour and patterns of inheritance. For more than 50 years, this concept has been investigated using approaches that include partitioning the social component out of behavioural heritability estimates, studying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14110
Abstract: The decision to leave or join a group is important as group size influences many aspects of organisms’ lives and their fitness. This tendency to socialise with others, sociability, should be influenced by genes carried… read more here.

Direct and indirect genetic effects of a social supergene
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.16830
Abstract: Indirect genetic effects describe phenotypic variation that results from differences in the genotypic composition of social partners. Such effects represent heritable sources of environmental variation in eusocial organisms because individuals are typically reared by their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010247
Abstract: Estimating effects of parental and sibling genotypes (indirect genetic effects) can provide insight into how the family environment influences phenotypic variation. There is growing molecular genetic evidence for effects of parental phenotypes on their offspring… read more here.
