Microevolutionary system identification and climate response predictions by use of BLUP prediction error method
Rolf Ergon
Abstract:Animals and other organisms in wild populations may adjust to climate change by means of plasticity and evolution, and it is an important task to find the contributions from each of these effects. Attempts to solve this disentanglement problem by use of best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) methods, as borrowed from the field of domestic breeding, have been criticized because of errors in the variances of the predicted random effects.
