Focus on gene / environment effects
• Prof. Donal Manahan’s seminar “Evolution and development: an ecological perspective” 3/11/2011
• Growth rates are affected by extrinsic environmental conditions
• Growth rates are affected by intrinsic physiological factors which may be governed by genetic factors
Experiments
• Rear larval oysters at different temperatures• Record simple growth rate as mm/week• Repeat the experiment with different
genotypes
The effect of temperature
Intercept = 5, slope = 1.3
The effect of genotype
The effect of both together
How do these lines differ?
• Temperature affects both genotypes equally
• There is a fixed effect of genotype– Constant for all temperatures
• The red genotype grows faster than the black one
• coefficients– Slopes = 1.3– red intercept = 8– black intercept=5
A different genotype
How do these lines differ?
• There is still an effect of temperature
• But, now it is different for each genotype
• The effect of genotype is no longer fixed for all temperatures
• There is an interaction between temperature (environment) and genotype
• Coefficients– Green slope = 1.8, intercept = 8– Black slope = 1.3, intercept = 5
A slightly different question
And why its important to consider the linear covariate when comparing
between groups
• Known as:• Analysis of Covariance:
ANCOVA• Also a GLM with fixed
factors and linear covariates
How do we compare two lines statistically?
• Experiment to study effect of herbivores on primary productivity in ecosystems
• Series of in situ exclusion experiments
• Measured:– Seed mass (g)– Grazed / Ungrazed– Root diameter at start of
experiment

Questions to ask
• How does grazing affect seed production?• Why was root diameter recorded?– How might this have changed the picture if it were
omitted?• What do we need to
test statistically to address our hypothesis?
• Pick one line to be the reference (e.g. Grazed)
• What is the equation for the Grazed line?– Seed = b0 + b1Root
• What is the equation for Ungrazed line?– Seed = b0 + bug + b1Root
Testing parallel lines
Testing parallel Lines in R
• Call:• glm(formula = Fruit ~ Root + Grazing, data = mydata)
• Deviance Residuals: • Min 1Q Median 3Q Max • -17.1920 -2.8224 0.3223 3.9144 17.3290
• Coefficients:• Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) • (Intercept) -127.829 9.664 -13.23 1.35e-15 ***• Root 23.560 1.149 20.51 < 2e-16 ***• GrazingUngrazed 36.103 3.357 10.75 6.11e-13 ***• ---• Signif. codes: 0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1
• AIC: 271.13
• Number of Fisher Scoring iterations: 2
• Pick one line to be the reference (e.g. Grazed)
• What is the equation for the Grazed line?– Seed = b0 + b1Root
• What is the equation for Ungrazed line?– Seed = b0 + bug + (b1+b2)Root
– Seed = b0 + bug + b1Root + b2Root_UG
