Genetics Research, 2009 SummaryAn innovative approach to tree breeding called ‘breeding without breeding’ (BWB) is presented. The method, as applied on the material in hand, allows the capture of 75–85% of the genetic response to selection attained through conventional programmes without the need to do any controlled pollination and simplified or possibly no experimental ...

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2006 Believing that science is about precision in defining its terms, we propose the use of breeding as an all-encompassing term for mosquito activity does not always represent the reality of what is happening at a site where mosquitoes, in whatever stage, are present.

Trade-offs between personal immunity and reproduction in the burying beetle, N. vespilloides [PDF]
, 2014 We know that parental investment and immune investment are costly processes, but it is unclear which trait will be prioritised when both may be required.

Breeding without Breeding: Is a Complete Pedigree Necessary for Efficient Breeding?
PLoS ONE, 2011 Complete pedigree information is a prerequisite for modern breeding and the ranking of parents and offspring for selection and deployment decisions. DNA fingerprinting and pedigree reconstruction can substitute for artificial matings, by allowing parentage delineation of naturally produced offspring.

The breeding program of Latxa breed [PDF]
Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2007 The present paper describes the breeding program of Latxa breed in Spain. Latxa?s breeding program has been on-going since 1984 and it is focused on increasing milk yield. As a consequence of its implementation, an annual genetic improvement of 3% in milk yield has obtained. Currently, new traits are being considered in the selection breeding goal.

Cassava Breeding I: The Value of Breeding Value [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Breeding cassava relies on several selection stages (single row trial-SRT; preliminary; advanced; and uniform yield trials-UYT). This study uses data from 14 years of evaluations. From more than 20,000 genotypes initially evaluated only 114 reached the last stage.
