Behaviors, like all complex traits, involve multiple genes, a reality that complicates the search for genetic contributions. As with much other research in genetics, studies of genes and behavior require analysis of families and populations for comparison of those who have the trait in question with those who do not. The result commonly is a statement of \"heritability,\" a statistical construct that estimates the amount of variation in a population that is attributable to genetic factors. The explanatory power of heritability figures is limited, however, applying only to the population studied and only to the environment in place at the time the study was conducted. If the population or the environment changes, the heritability most likely will change as well. Focused on the genetics of complex traits in a variety of organisms—honeybees, mice, and nematodes—this volume discusses environmental influence on genetic programs and evolutionary genetics. Such research is proving important in furthering our understanding of the genetic basis of such diseases as obesity, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and autism, to name a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eC.elegans: Social Interactions in a \"nonsocial\" animal - Ardiel \u0026amp; Rankin\u003cbr\u003eMolecular social interactions: Drosophilia melanogaster seminal fluid proteins as a case study - Sirot, LaFlamme, Sitnik, Rubinstein, Avila, Chow \u0026amp; Wolfner\u003cbr\u003eSleeping together: using social interactions to understand the role of sleep in plasticity - Donlea \u0026amp; Shaw\u003cbr\u003eApproaching the Genomics of Risk taking behavior - Bell\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Insects [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Insects\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Insects%20%5Bentomology%5D%20%5BPSVT7%5D%22\"\u003eentomology PSVT7\u003c\/a\u003e], Genetics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Genetics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Genetics%20%5Bnon-medical%5D%20%5BPSAK%5D%22\"\u003enon-medical PSAK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46649301565720,"sku":"9780123748966","price":83.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780123748966.jpg?v=1695013947","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/socio-genetics-hardback-9780123748966","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
