Additional file 5. SchemeB1 (i.e. only a closed-nucleus provided genotyped candidates for its own replacement and for the base herds; selection was performed without time limits). Effects on base herds over years after the beginning of selection accounting for different patterns of age structure.

Additional file 4. SchemeB1 (i.e. only a closed-nucleus provided genotyped candidates for its own replacement and for the base herds; selection was performed without time limits). Effects of selection in Chamois Coloured for a range of nucleus size values accounting for 10â 25% of all herds.

Additional file 6. SchemeA2 (i.e. all herds provided genotyped candidates and selection ceased when a given threshold frequency of K-carriers was reached). Effects after ceasing selection at different threshold frequencies.

Additional file 2. SchemeA1 (i.e. all herds provided genotyped candidates and selection was applied to the whole population without time limits). Effects over years after the beginning of selection accounting for different patterns of age structure.

Additional file 3. SchemeB1 (i.e. only a closed-nucleus provided genotyped candidates for its own replacement and for the base herds; selection was performed without time limits). Effects of nucleus-selection on the frequency of K-carriers in Chamois Coloured for a range of nucleus size values accounting for 10â 25% of all herds.
