Pathology and genetic connectedness of the mangrove crab (Aratus pisonii) – a foundation for understanding mangrove disease ecology

Animal Diseases, 2022
Mangrove forests are productive ecosystems, acting as a sink for CO2, a habitat for a diverse array of terrestrial and marine species, and as a natural barrier to coastline erosion.

Spatial modelling improves genomic evaluation in Tanzanian smallholder admixed dairy cattle [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution
Background Smallholder dairy production systems in low-and middle-income countries are characterised by large phenotypic variance due to diverse environmental effects, farming practices, and crossbreeding.

Social Connectedness in Schizotypy: The Role of Cognitive and Affective Empathy

Behavioral Sciences, 2022
Social connectedness is increasingly understood to be a resilience factor that moderates vulnerability to poor physical and mental health. This study examines cognitive and affective processes that support normal socialization and social connectedness ...

Case Study on Increasing Breeding Value Estimation Reliability of Reproductive Traits in Serbian Highly Prolific Large White and Landrace Sows

Animals, 2022
This study investigated the influence of the degree of connectedness on the reliability of the estimated breeding values (EBVs). The focal trait in the study was the number of piglets born alive (NBA) from sows of the highly prolific Large White and ...

Study of Genetic Connectedness in Genetic Evaluation by Computer Simulation [PDF]

Journal of Animal and Veterinary Advances, 2010
Connectedness is a statistical approach that could help breeder, under specific animal breeding situations in better deciding for animal selection from different environment. The accuracy of the comparison between EBVs from different herds depends upon the degree of connectedness between them.

Quantifying genomic connectedness and prediction accuracy from additive and non-additive gene actions

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2018
Background Genetic connectedness is classically used as an indication of the risk associated with breeding value comparisons across management units because genetic evaluations based on best linear unbiased prediction rely for their success on sufficient
