Effect of DNA markers on the fertility traits of Japanese Black cattle for improving beef quantity and quality [PDF]
Archives Animal Breeding, 2020 Carcass traits have been efficiently improved by recent selection using DNA markers in beef cattle. Additionally, DNA markers might have an effect on other traits such as fertility traits; therefore attention should also be paid to such pleiotropic ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Influence of Image Analysis and Carcass Traits on Beef Carcass Price
Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 2003 北海道内の枝肉市場に上場された黒毛和種去勢牛（1,543頭）および交雑種去勢牛（532頭）の枝肉横断面の画像に対し，脂肪面積比，全体の粒子のあらさ，最大粒子のあらさ，ロース芯の短径・長径比およびロース芯形状の複雑さを画像解析形質として分析に用いた．格付形質としては，枝肉重量，ロース芯面積，バラの厚さ，皮下脂肪厚，BMSナンバー，BCS等級およびBFS等級を用いた．これらの形質が牛枝肉価格にどのような影響があるかを検討した．取り上げた14種類のモデルのうち，格付形質のみおよび画像解析形質を含む2種類の，計3モデルについて詳細に検討した．3種類のモデルの決定係数は，黒毛和種で0.799～0.825，交雑種で0.784～0.792の範囲にあった．価格に最も影響を与えた形質は ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Genome wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted on 7,853,211 imputed whole genome sequence variants in a population of 3354 to 3984 animals from multiple beef cattle breeds for five carcass merit traits including hot carcass weight (HCW),

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to
