Different mating types were evaluated, through simulated data, in populations submitted to selection based on BLUP, during fifty generations. It was considered one quantitative trait with heritability of 0,10. The selected populations had the following data structure: mating ratio values: 10, 20, 25, and 50, numbers of selected males by generation: 10, 5, 4, and 2, and effective population sizes: 36,36, 19,05, 15,38 and 7,84, respectively. In each mating ratio value, the populations were coupled according one of the mating […]
