Change in genetic size of small-closed populations: lessons from a domestic mammal population
The aim of this study was to monitor changes in genetic size of a small-closed population of Iranian Zandi sheep, by using pedigree information from animals born between 1991 and 2005.

Inbreeding and coancestry trends in Nordic Holstein
Increased rates of inbreeding have been observed in several Holstein populations across the world since genomic selection (GS) was implemented into the breeding programs. The objective of this study was to test whether this is also the case in the Nordic Holstein population using pedigree data.

Genetic information from progeny trials: a comparison between progenies generated by open pollination and by controlled crosses [PDF]
When conifer progenies generated by open pollination are assessed in field tests, it is usually assumed that all progenies of the same mother are true half-sibs.

Genetic structuring and within‐flock relatedness of eastern wild turkeys
We investigated the genetic structure and within‐flock relatedness of wild turkeys across sites in the southeastern United States. We found that the probability of within‐flock relatedness was lowest at a study site where spring harvest of males did not occur, and relatedness varied by sex and age relationships across study sites.

Role of kinship in sociality of female eastern wild turkeys
We used a matrix of contact rates generated from high‐resolution global positioning system data to quantify interactions and contact rates based on genetic relatedness. We found that most females with genetic relatives in their winter flocks did not join social group prior to breeding that included those relatives. Our findings suggest that female wild

Effect of linkage on the control of inbreeding in selection programmes
Selection and mating methods for controlling inbreeding in selection programmes are based on relationships obtained from pedigrees. The efficiency of these methods has always been tested by studies using genetic models of independent loci. However, under

Inbreeding, Coancestry, and Founding Clones of Sweet Cherries from North America [PDF]
Inbreeding and coancestry coefficients were calculated for 66 sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) selections released from four breeding programs in North America (HRIO, Vineland, Ont., IAREC, Prosser, Wash., NYSAES, Geneva, N.Y., and PARC, Summerland, B.C.).

A case study of Eucalyptus globulus fingerprinting [PDF]
• Introduction Tree genetic improvement programs usually lack, in general, pedigree information. Since molecular markers can be used to estimate the level of genetic similarity between individuals, we genotyped a sample of a Portuguese Eucalyptus ...
