Evaluation and development of animal breeding in Ireland [PDF]

, 2008
End of project reportThe primary objectives of this study were: 1) to annually evaluate the pertinence of the Irish dairy cattle breeding index, the Economic Breeding Index (EBI) and where necessary modify, 2) to evaluate the potential of do-it-yourself ...

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Genome-wide assessment and mapping of inbreeding depression identifies candidate genes associated with semen traits in Holstein bulls

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background The reduction in phenotypic performance of a population due to mating between close relatives is called inbreeding depression. The genetic background of inbreeding depression for semen traits is poorly understood.

Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved mycorrhizal associations in the Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

Genetic inbreeding load and its individual prediction for milk yield in French dairy sheep

Genetics Selection Evolution
Background The magnitude of inbreeding depression depends on the recessive burden of the individual, which can be traced back to the hidden (recessive) inbreeding load among ancestors.

Evaluating Movements of Co‐Occurring Silver and Bighead Carp in a Small Missouri River Tributary

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis commonly inhabit small tributaries of mainstem rivers. However, dynamic environmental conditions within these systems may influence their movement patterns differently than in larger rivers, potentially leading to important implications regarding their range ...

GENOMIC VARIABILITY AMONG CATTLE POPULATIONS BASED ON RUNS OF HOMOZYGOSITY [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2015
In this work, the distribution of different lengths ROH (runs of homozygosity) in six cattle breeds was described. A total of 122 animals from six cattle breeds (Holstein, Simmental, Austrian Pinzgau, Ayrshire, MRI-Meuse Rhine Issel and Slovak Pinzgau ...

Phase Transition in Sexual Reproduction and Biological Evolution

, 2008
Using Monte Carlo model of biological evolution we have discovered that populations can switch between two different strategies of their genomes' evolution; Darwinian purifying selection and complementing the haplotypes. The first one is exploited in the

The causes and consequences of inbreeding avoidance and tolerance in cooperatively breeding vertebrates [PDF]

, 2017
Cooperative breeders provide a particularly interesting scenario for studying inbreeding. Such populations are viscous due to delayed dispersal and short dispersal distances, resulting in the build-up of relatives in the local population. This leads to a
