सारांश:This chapter has shown that many theories on natural selection and evolution have something to do with food resources: acquisition, utilization and allocation. Furthermore, these theories and thoughts date back (at least) to the mid-19th century and have been developed by people from different disciplines. Animal breeders, however, have concentrated mainly on animal genotypes, i.e. the environmental variation is statistically taken out of the equation. The reason for this is obvious: genotypic variation is passed on to the next generation through inheritance, i.e. can be selected for, whereas entire environmental variation cannot. Furthermore, animal genotypes can be bought and sold, whereas environments cannot. Application of animal breeding models that are based on genotypic information, such as Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP), has been (and is) clearly very successful.
