Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 365-374, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Home Range and Habitat Selection of Chamois: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
A systematic review of 22 studies reveals a research bias toward the Alpine chamois, leaving other subspecies understudied. Males occupy larger home ranges, and the species consistently selects steep, high‐elevation terrain while avoiding snow‐covered areas and human disturbance.

Effects of Selection for High Litter-Weight on Reproductive Performance in Mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1978
The reproductive performances of two lines of mice selected for high litter-weight at nine weeks of age and a control line were compared based on data obtained after 15 generations of breeding.

Quantitative Genetic Variation and Response for Harvest Body Weight in a Selection Program for Red Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.)

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic variation is indispensable for both natural and artificial selection, as well as evolution, adaptation, and the long‐term success of selective breeding programs. This study attempted to scrutinise genetic variations and responses within the breeding population of red tilapia across eight generations of selection (2016–2023).

Estimation of Inbreeding Depression From Overdominant Loci Using Molecular Markers

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications
Inbreeding depression is a highly relevant universal phenomenon in population and conservation genetics since it leads to a decline in the fitness of individuals.

A Universal Genomic Approach to Detect Hybridization Using MIPs: Insights From a Case Study on Pike

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Interspecific hybridization poses a major challenge to biodiversity conservation, as genetic introgression can threaten the persistence of native species. This phenomenon occurs when individuals from distinct species interbreed, producing hybrids with a combination of genetic traits from both parents. The implications are especially concerning
