Quantitative phenotyping for individuals in a hybrid zone. This includes:
- Feature extraction from images
- Dimensionality reduction (to a mimicry-related phenotype)
- Estimating the number of genes underlying the mimicry-related phenotype using admixture proportion estimates (including simulations)
- Estimating the likelihood whether two quantified phenotypes are controlled by the same or two separate sets of genes.
The methods in this package are described in the papers:
J. S. Vestergaard, E. Twomey, R. Larsen, K. Summers and R. Nielsen. Number of genes controlling a quantitative trait in a hybrid zone of the aposematic frog Ranitomeya imitator, in review with Proceedings of the Royal Society. Series B. Biological Sciences, 2014.
