The residualvariation may come from biological and technical factors.
Second, parameter estimates could be biased, as residualvariation was still unexplained.
Moreover, the low diet quality increased residualvariation of the traits, altering heritability values.
The residualvariation can be explained by some other variables not included in the model.
The residualvariation was significantly smaller than those from the variables.
Of course much of the residualvariation may simply reflect measurement error and individual variation.
Yet substantial residualvariation suggests additional, untreated variables affect parasite loads.
These outliers contribute excessively to the residualvariation, and therefore decrease the power of parametric tests.
In order to study a possible association between residualvariation and additive genetic values, the following discrepancy statistics are constructed.
Despite the explanatory power of the variables we have focused on, substantial residualvariation among fields remains unexplained.
Thus, the presence of additive genetic values affecting residualvariation is given high credibility by all three methods.
As heritability is a ratio, low heritability can result either from low genetic variation or from high residualvariation (or both).
In primates, adaptive specialization is suggested by the existence of a covarying visual system, and may explain some residualvariation in the constraint model.
To address the question of the relevance of the theory reported here, it is clear that more data on genetic variation in residualvariation are necessary.
The model's postulate of the presence of additive genetic values affecting residualvariation, correlated with additive genetic values influencing litter size, must be allowed to stand until further investigation.
Heritability of development time remained high and nearly constant across the treatments because both genetic and residualvariation, measured as coefficients of variation, increased when the diet quality decreased.
Rapidly decaying epigenetic effects on phenotypes (i.e. lasting less than three generations) may explain some of the residualvariation in phenotypes after genotype and environment are accounted for.
