Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Invasive species can affect native species detrimentally, causing localised population declines, range contractions and extinctions. Given the costs and difficulties of controlling invasive species, sound knowledge of the potential benefits to native species is essential.

Molecular, genealogical and morphometric characterisation of the Pallaresa, a Pyrenean relic cattle breed: Insights for conservation [PDF]
, 2013 The Pallaresa cattle breed is a native population of beef cattle found in the western regions of the Catalan Pyrenees (Spain). Since the second half of the twentieth century, population size decreased dramatically in favour of the Bruna dels Pirineus ...

Quantifying diversity losses due to selection for scrapie resistance in three endangered Spanish sheep breeds using microsatellite information. [PDF]
, 2013 The effect of selection for scrapie resistance on genetic variability in three endangered Spanish sheep breeds (Colmenareña, Mallorquina and Rubia de El Molar) was studied using two different criteria for quantifying contributions to genetic variability:

Ascertaining gene flow patterns in livestock populations of developing countries: a case study in Burkina Faso goat [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Introgression of Sahel livestock genes southwards in West Africa may be favoured by human activity and the increase of the duration of the dry seasons since the 1970’s. The aim of this study is to assess the gene flow patterns in Burkina Faso

The use of coancestry based on shared segments for maintaining genetic diversity
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2016 SummaryWe have evaluated the use of genomic coancestry coefficients based on shared segments for the maintenance of genetic diversity through optimal contributions methodology for populations of three different Austrian cattle breeds. This coancestry measure has been compared with the genomic coancestry coefficient calculated on a SNP‐by‐SNP basis and ...

Genomic selection in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) [PDF]
, 2014 Genomic selection (GS) can increase the genetic gain in plants. In perennial crops, this can be achieved via shortened breeding cycles and increased selection intensity. Our objective was to obtain the first empirical estimate of GS accuracy in oil palm (
