Abstract
<p>The ability to select sheep which have a greater capacity to overcome environmental fluctuations is topical given the severity of climatic events, labour shortages and increased productive demands (lamb, meat and wool). In this paper, we review the possibility of using variation in fibre diameter (FD), measured along the wool staple as an indicator of how sheep respond to the fluctuations of their environment.</p>
