Theory in quantitative genetics
| Quantitative genetics in the wild A. Charmantier, D. Garant & L. EB Kruuk, 2014 – A very nice and approachable collection of questions tackled by evolutionary quantitative genetics to study wild populations |
|

|
| Quantitative Genetics B. Walsh, 2016 – A series of online videos of lectures on evolutionary quantitative genetics, tackling the bases, selection, QTL mapping and many other topics |
|
| Genetics and analysis of quantitative traits M. Lynch & B. Walsh, 1998 – A thorough and in-depth textbook introducing the main concepts of quantitative genetics |
|
| Evolution and selection of quantitative traits B. Walsh & M. Lynch, 2018 – A more recent update, and extremely thorough textbook on the evolutionary aspects of quantitative genetics |

Statistical models
| Estimation of a biological trait heritability using the animal model and MCMCglmm P. de Villemereuil, 2021 – A hands-on tutorial on performing quantitative genetics using a Bayesian method |
|

|
| Wild animal model wiki M. Clements, M. Morrissey, A. Wilson, E. Postma, D. Nussey & A. Husby, 2011 – A wiki on diverse packages to implement quantitative genetics models. The website is not maintained and contains a few errors, but contains useful “starter code” for some packages. |
