Question

You have just started working in a field research laboratory focused on a species of Redtailed Hawks. They have been trying to understand the heritability of wingspan in this species. They’ve studied them in 2 different contexts. In the wild, and in an indoor enclosure that is temperature controlled and provides them with a standardized diet, eliminating environmental variance.

In the wild, the total variance was determined to be 24 inches. In the enclosure, total variance between subjects was found to be 8 inches.

In the enclosure, what is the VEnvironmental 

They ask you to figure out what the VEnvironmental  (environmental variance) is for the hawks in the wild. (Hint: First identify Vgenetic in the enclosure.

What is the heritability of wingspan in the wild?
