Single‐Step Genomic Predictions for Growth and Carcass Traits in Nordic Charolais and Hereford Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 283-295, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In order to investigate the applicability and efficiency of genomic selection for growth and carcass traits in Nordic beef cattle, single‐step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) was applied in 4321 Charolais and 4532 Hereford animals with information on approximately 43,000 SNPs each.

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 365-374, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Patterns and Determinants of Mortality in Grey Wolves (Canis lupus)

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
This systematic review reveals the global patterns and drivers of grey wolf mortality, highlighting the high mortality risk associated with human coexistence for this cursorial carnivore, and reshaping previous knowledge to guide management and conservation strategies.

Large deletions in the DNA primase large subunit PRIM2 are associated with NADP‐malate dehydrogenase activity in a porcine F2 cross [PDF]

Anim Genet
Abstract Large porcine F2 crosses are a valuable resource for discovering QTL and genetic variants for relevant traits. Past studies have been largely limited to SNPs and short insertions and deletions. Structural variants (SVs) are becoming a major area of interest in this respect.

Nutrient landscape of a cricket nymph: How dietary protein and carbohydrate shape intake, performance, and body composition in the two‐spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 178-192, March 2026.
Survival of Gryllus bimaculatus nymphs was highest on protein‐biased diets (P:C = 3.86:1), whereas growth and body mass were maximized on slightly carbohydrate‐biased diets (P:C = 1:1.47). Maximum body protein and lipid contents were attained at P:C ratios of 1.14:1 and 1:5.56, respectively. When given a food choice, G. bimaculatus nymphs self‐selected
