Estimation of inbreeding effect on conception in Czech Holstein
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019 The influence of calculated inbreeding coefficients on the conception of heifers and cows was analysed by a two-trait binary model for conceived/not conceived after each insemination on 677 234 Czech Holstein cows and heifers with 3 248 299 insemination ...

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Defining a ‘hat‐matrix’ for a model is essential in many model diagnostic procedures, as it acts as an orthogonal projector from the observation space to the model space. In this paper, we introduce a unique Hat‐matrix for the class of hierarchical generalised linear models (HGLMs), which includes, as a special case, the subclass of generalised

Pure line selection in a heterogeneous soybean cultivar
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2019 Although cultivars of autogamous plants are homogeneous genotypes, they may show natural variability due to mechanical mixing, natural hybridization, and mutation.

International bull evaluations by genomic BLUP with a prediction population [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2019 The purpose of this study was to determine whether multi-country genomic evaluation can be accomplished by multiple-trait genomic best linear unbiased predictor (GBLUP) without sharing genotypes of important animals. Phenotypes and genotypes with 40k SNP were simulated for 25,000 animals, each with 4 traits assuming the same genetic variance and 0.8 ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Successful reproduction is a key factor for efficient breeding schemes and sustainable animal farming. Aquaculture breeding programs rely heavily on small fractions of selected breeders to yield large production stocks, given the high fecundity typically observed in these species. In Sweden, Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a salmonid with

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.We explored age‐related cognitive decline in captive fawn‐footed mosaic‐tailed rats (Melomys cervinipes) using a novel object recognition task. Contrary to expectations, recognition memory did not decline with age, but recognition memory was lower in intermediate‐aged rats compared to both older and younger individuals.

Climate change and crop resilience: harnessing metabolomics for predicting stress tolerance
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summarised methodology for metabolite biomarker discovery and genomic targets selection for those metabolites to predict high‐throughput phenotypic and agronomic traits of interest for direct uptake in breeding programmes. Summary Global warming is driving climate change to levels not experienced since the advent of agriculture, primarily due to ...
