Evaluation of Genetic Potential of Iranian Native Chicken Ecotypes; Insights for Conservation [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2022 ObjectiveDifferent climates and wide geographical area of Iran have caused considerable genetic diversity in Iranian chicken ecotypes. Artificial selection for genetic gain in economic traits leads to a reduction of genetic diversity in livestock and ...

Pattern of population structuring between Belgian and Estonian bumblebees [PDF]
, 2019 Several population genetic studies investigated the extent of gene flow and population connectivity in bumblebees. In general, no restriction in gene flow is considered for mainland populations of common bumblebee species.

Maize Germplasm Conservation in Southern California's Urban Gardens: Introduced Diversity Beyond ex situ and in situ Management. [PDF]
, 2016 Contemporary germplasm conservation studies largely focus on ex situ and in situ management of diversity within centers of genetic diversity. Transnational migrants who transport and introduce landraces to new locations may catalyze a third type of ...

Spatial genetic structure in the saddled sea bream (Oblada melanura [Linnaeus, 1758]) suggests multi-scaled patterns of connectivity between protected and unprotected areas in the Western Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
, 2016 Marine protected areas (MPAs) and networks of MPAs are advocated worldwide for the achievement of marine conservation objectives. Although the knowledge about population connectivity is considered fundamental for the optimal design of MPAs and networks ...
