In this chapter we discuss the history of the breeding of domesticated animals and how this practice produced varieties of animals with ‘breeding’, and that since the late-eighteenth century have been termed ‘breeds’. We consider the evolution of ideas on selective breeding through the nineteenth century and end with an assessment of the impact of the ...

This review of the research undertaken on the most important fruit species is the result of the contributions of some French fruit breeders working at INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique) and CIRAD (Centre de cooperation Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Developpement).

Intermittent breeding is associated with breeding group turnover in a cooperatively breeding bird
Oecologia, 2020Intermittent breeding, in which an adult skips a breeding opportunity, can represent a non-adaptive constraint or an adaptive response to the tradeoff between current and future reproduction. In group-living animals, the social group may also affect the frequency of reproduction, but this possibility has received little attention.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of breed and sex on meat quality and sensory properties of the loin in three-way crossbred pigs: Landrace× Yorkshire×Duroc (LYD) and Landrace×Yorkshire×Woori (LYW) black pig synthesized by Korean native ...

Breeding by Design is a concept that aims to control all allelic variation for all genes of agronomic importance. This concept can be achieved through a combination of precise genetic mapping, high-resolution chromosome haplotyping and extensive phenotyping. Thanks to marker technology, software tools and the know-how available today, this goal can now

Journal of Ornithology, 2006
Traditionally, investigation of the dynamics of avian migration has been heavily biased towards the autumn return trip to the wintering quarters. Since the migratory prelude to breeding has direct fitness consequences, the European Science Foundation recently redressed the balance and sponsored a workshop on spring travels.

To breed or not to breed: a model of partial migration [PDF]
Oikos, 2011 Migration is used by a number of species as a strategy for dealing with a seasonally variable environment. In many migratory species, only some individuals migrate within a given season (migrants) while the rest remain in the same location (residents), a phenomenon called ‘partial migration’.
