Perfect Simulation From Nonneutral Population Genetic Models: Variable Population Size and Population Subdivision. [PDF]
, 2006 We show how the idea of monotone coupling from the past can produce simple algorithms for simulating samples at a nonneutral locus under a range of demographic models.

Is the human species still evolving?: to where?
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 The questions of the title have been considered in several ways. First, indications of the traits which make us humans were considered. Then the behavior and culture concepts were examined, and the biology and culture interactions discussed, with an ...

Selection for Growth and Precocity Alters Muscle Metabolism in Nellore Cattle
Metabolites, 2020 To clarify the relationship between beef genetic selection for growth and precocity with muscle metabolism and metabolites, we performed metabolomic analysis using Longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle from Nellore cattle with divergent selection for these ...

The genetical theory of kin selection [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2011 AbstractNatural selection operates both directly, via the impact of a trait upon the individual’s own fitness, and indirectly, via the impact of the trait upon the fitness of the individual’s genetically related social partners. These effects are often framed in terms of Hamilton’s rule,rb − c > 0, which provides the central result of social ...

Sire effect on early and late embryonic death in French Holstein cattle
Animal, 2015 We investigated the effect of maternal sire on early pregnancy failure (between D0, day of insemination and D90) in their progeny during the first and second lactations (n=3508) in the Holstein breed.
