Long-Term Artificial Selection for Increased Larval Body Weight of Hermetia illucens in Industrial Settings [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) farming has exponentially increased in recent years due to the ability of its larvae to efficiently convert low-grade organic materials into high-value food, feed, and technical products.

Artificial selection in human-wildlife feeding interactions. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 The artificial selection of traits in wildlife populations through hunting and fishing has been well documented. However, despite their rising popularity, the role that artificial selection may play in non‐extractive wildlife activities, for example ...

Artificial selection improves pollutant degradation by bacterial communities. [PDF]
Nat CommunArtificial selection is a promising way to improve microbial community functions, but previous experiments have only shown moderate success. Here, we experimentally evaluate a new method that was inspired by genetic algorithms to artificially select ...

Sex‐specific heritabilities for length at maturity among Pacific salmonids and their consequences for evolution in response to artificial selection [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Artificial selection, whether intentional or coincidental, is a common result of conservation policies and natural resource management. To reduce unintended consequences of artificial selection, conservation practitioners must understand both artificial ...

Artificial Selection on Microbiomes To Breed Microbiomes That Confer Salt Tolerance to Plants. [PDF]
mSystems, 2021 We developed an experimental protocol that improves earlier methods of artificial selection on microbiomes and then tested the efficacy of our protocol to breed root-associated bacterial microbiomes that confer salt tolerance to a plant.

Enhancing phosphate-solubilising microbial communities through artificial selection. [PDF]
Nat CommunMicrobial communities, acting as key drivers of ecosystem processes, harbour immense potential for sustainable agriculture practices. Phosphate-solubilising microorganisms, for example, can partially replace conventional phosphate fertilisers, which rely

Artificial selection methods from evolutionary computing show promise for directed evolution of microbes [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Directed microbial evolution harnesses evolutionary processes in the laboratory to construct microorganisms with enhanced or novel functional traits. Attempting to direct evolutionary processes for applied goals is fundamental to evolutionary computation,

Identifying artificial selection signals in the chicken genome
PLoS ONE, 2018 Identifying the signals of artificial selection can contribute to further shaping economically important traits. Here, a chicken 600k SNP-array was employed to detect the signals of artificial selection using 331 individuals from 9 breeds, including ...
