#heritability — Public Fediverse posts

Does someone have access to a copy (or a pdf) of Lush's 1937 "Animal Breeding Plans"? I can only found the edition of 1943 (on archive.org). In the 1943 version he uses the word "heritability" (chapter 8, heredity and environment). I want to know if he used it in the 1937 edition already.

Many thanks for any help.

EDIT How well and if you have Lush 1936 "Genetic aspects of the Danish system of progeny testing swine", Iowa research bulletin 204, I'd be delighted.

EDIT 2 (Sorry guys) I have found the 1936 paper here https://dr.lib.iastate.edu/bitstreams/45d4c5a6-16fc-4498-9549-7fada3d8bf7f/download

The SEP-entry on Heritability has been replaced by a new one from the same authors, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heritability/

An indication of a hot topic?
