Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

A Social Network Analysis of Occupational Segregation [PDF]
We develop a social network model of occupational segregation between different social groups, generated by the existence of positive inbreeding bias among individuals from the same group.

Inbreeding depression in the Lizard canary breed estimated by pedigree analysis
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2016 The influence of inbreeding depression on phenotypic traits of the Lizard canary from an Italian breeder was evaluated. The following traits were studied: birds' life span, number of surviving offspring, and morphological traits (type of plumage ...

Ancestry-Dependent Enrichment of Deleterious Homozygotes in Runs of Homozygosity. [PDF]
, 2019 Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are important genomic features that manifest when an individual inherits two haplotypes that are identical by descent. Their length distributions are informative about population history, and their genomic locations are useful ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We developed a population viability analysis to inform reintroduction strategies for the endangered Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), incorporating age‐specific vital rates, release costs on survival and reproduction, environmental and demographic stochasticity, and catastrophic events.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Reproductive success rates are a key parameter determining the recovery potential of ex‐situ managed threatened species, with high rates often being required to produce offspring for wild releases while ensuring ex situ population viability. Here, we quantify reproductive success rates in the Extinct in the Wild sihek (Guam kingfisher) and find ...

Microhaplotype Methods Enable Relationship Inference in a Bottlenecked Mammalian Species
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) are among the most genetically depauperate mammals in the world. A near‐total population bottleneck in the 19th century, coupled with the breeding system of extreme polygyny, has challenged efforts to estimate individual reproductive success with genetic methods.

EFFECT OF INBREEDING ON SOME PERFORMANCE TRAITS IN SAHIWAL CATTLE
Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2001 Pedigree, breeding and performance records of a purebred Sahiwal herd maintained at Livestock Experiment Station, Jahangirabad, Khanewal during the period 1939-97 were utilised for the present study. The effect of inbreeding on various performance traits
