“…The origin of the experiment population was the same as that used for other selection experiments (Fern andez and Toro 1999;Guti errez et al 2006;Ib añez-Escriche et al 2008a;Moreno et al 2012;Pun et al 2013). It was started from a created mouse population originating from a balanced genetic contribution of three inbred mice lines: BALB/c, C57BL and CBA.…”

“…The three-way cross-population was previously maintained in panmixia during 40 generations ensuring high levels of both genetic and phenotypic variability. This high-variability population was also the origin for other selection experiments (Fernández et al, 1998;Gutiérrez et al, 2006;Ibáñez-Escriche et al, 2008;Moreno et al, 2011;Pun et al, 2013). To set up the low and high-variability lines, initially a total of 64 males and females were randomly mated one male to one female having two litters in order to evaluate the mothers for the environmental BW variability of their offspring.…”

“…This success in modifying environmental variability for BW could be accompanied by changes in other interesting productive traits (Moreno et al, 2011). Within this context some authors had previously reported relationships between homogeneity in weight and important traits such as fertility or LS (Bolet et al, 2007;Larzul et al, 2014), and robustness traits such as welfare (Mormede and Terenina, 2012) or survival (Högberg and Rydhmer, 2000;Damgaard et al, 2003;Garreau et al, 2008).…”

“…Moreover, birthweight is a very important trait in multiparous species like rabbit (Bodin et al 2010) or pig (Berard et al 2008) where the homogeneity within the litter determines the competitiveness between young animals and the percentage of survival (Damgaard et al 2003;Garreau et al 2008). The small size and generation interval of the mouse make this laboratory mammal a good model for this kind of trait and species (Moreno et al 2012). On the other hand, the existence of a genetic background affecting the variability of a trait has been demonstrated and it differs from the one controlling the trait mean, so a genetic selection can be done on the variability of a trait reducing it and reaching homogeneity in the trait (Scheiner & Lyman 1991) that is called canalization.…”
