Sharp Division of Integrative Biology, Roslin Institute (Edinburgh), Roslin, Midlothian EH25 9PS, Scotland, United Kingdom 2002 Poultry Science 81:928–931 Table 1 is being rerun to correct the table footnote. TABLE 1. Observed and predicted incidence of incubation behavior in White Leghorns (WL), Bantams (B), and their crosses assuming major sex-linked or permissive autosomal genes control of incubation behavior and that their expression results in 78.6% incubation behavior in the environmental conditions to which all groups were exposed Prediction tested None None Major sex-linkage
