From: Simulation studies to optimize genomic selection in honey bees
Notation | Description |
|---|---|
\({n}_{gpy}\) | Number of genotyped queens per year |
\({i}_{DPQ}^{CBS}\), \({i}_{BQ}^{CBS}\) | Selection intensity for dams of drone producing queens (DPQ), and dams of breeding queens (BQ), respectively |
\({i}_{DPQ}^{GPS}\), \({i}_{BQ}^{GPS}\) | Selection intensity for DPQ, and BQ, respectively |
\({p}_{DPQ}\) | Proportion of preselected DPQ compared to all DPQ deployed on mating stations |
\({p}_{BQ}\) | Proportion of preselected BQ compared to all phenotyped BQ |
\({p}_{ref}\) | Proportion of BQ in the reference population |
\({}_{uQ},{}_{pQ},{}_{pW}\) | Standard deviation of the true breeding values for the sum of maternal and direct effects of unfertilized queens (BQ from year 9), queens heading phenotyped colonies (BQ from year 8), and phenotyped colonies (worker groups from year 8), respectively |
\({}_{uQ}, {}_{pW}, {}_{pR}\) | Prediction accuracy for the sum of maternal and direct effects of unfertilized queens (queens from year 9), phenotyped colonies (worker groups from year 8), and replacement queens from phenotyped colonies, respectively |
\({R}_{PB}\) | Response to selection in a single generation in classical (pedigree-based) selection program |
\({R}_{GS}\) | Response to selection in the initial selection cycle of a genomic selection program |
