title: Effect of selection for spot size on reproduction and body weight in mice.
abstract: Spot size in descendants from the Goodale white-spotted stock of mice responded to selection for increased spot size. The realized heritability estimate was 0.52. However, no correlated response of reproduction to spot size selection was found in the present study, nor was there any correlated response among body weight variables.
