The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Exploring inbreeding depression in Brazilian Angus cattle population using pedigree and genomic data
Frontiers in GeneticsIntroductionInbreeding depression refers to the decline in performance caused by increased levels of inbreeding, which results from mating individuals with common ancestors.

Evaluation of Optimum Genetic Contribution Theory to Control Inbreeding While Maximizing Genetic Response [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012 Inbreeding is the mating of relatives that produce progeny having more homozygous alleles than non-inbred animals. Inbreeding increases numbers of recessive alleles, which is often associated with decreased performance known as inbreeding depression. The

Potential inbreeding in a small population of a mass flowering species, Xanthorrhoea johnsonii (Xanthorrhoaceae): is your mother my father? [PDF]
, 2012 Xanthorrhoea johnsonii is a long lived slow growing perennial understorey species, that produces a large quantity of passively dispersed seed every 3-5 years. Reproductive maturity is not reached until 20-30 years of age.

Movement decisions reflect compromised statewide connectivity for mountain lions in California
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Human‐induced habitat fragmentation threatens connectivity for populations of wide‐ranging species by compromising long‐distance dispersal. We evaluated movement‐based resource selection of dispersing mountain lions (Puma concolor) to identify specific landscape conditions influencing movement decisions and connectivity between populations across the ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Kin associations increase the potential for inbreeding. The potential for inbreeding does not, however, make inbreeding inevitable. Numerous factors influence whether inbreeding preference, avoidance, or tolerance evolves, and, in hermaphrodites where ...

Grassland Research, EarlyView.From structure to application: evolutionary insights and genome editing strategies for CENH3‐mediated haploid induction in legumes. Abstract Background The centromeric histone variant CENH3 is crucial for chromosome segregation and haploid induction in plants, yet its evolutionary patterns in legumes remain poorly characterized. Methods We investigated

Animals, 2022 Loss of genetic diversity and high inbreeding rates confer an increased risk of congenital anomalies and diseases and thus impacting dog breeding. In this study, we analyzed recent and ancestral inbreeding as well as other measures of genetic variability
