Fine-tuning genomic and pedigree inbreeding rates in equine population with a deep and reliable stud book: the case of the Pura Raza Española horse

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Background Estimating inbreeding, which is omnipresent and inevitable in livestock populations, is a primary goal for management and animal breeding especially for those interested in mitigating the negative consequences of inbreeding.

Using Periodic Matrix Models to Simulate the Effectiveness of Alternative Reintroduction Strategies for Lizards on a Seasonal Tropical Island

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Guam's lizard fauna has been devastated by the invasive brown treesnake, but recent advances in brown treesnake control have opened the possibility of reintroducing native lizards. We simulated different strategies for reintroducing lizards to Guam, comparing the timing and age‐structure of releases.

Estimation of Inbreeding Coefficient and Its Effects on Lamb Survival in Sheep

پژوهشهای علوم دامی ایران, 2016
Introduction The mating of related individuals produces an inbred offspring and leads to an increased homozygosity in the progeny, genetic variance decrease within families and increase between families.

Studies on Maltese Consanguinity [PDF]

, 2003
The possible genetic consequences of consanguinity have been known from ancient times, though different societies have held varying views. Some have encouraged consanguinity as desirable and the classic examples are the sister brother marriages of the ...

Species‐Specific Genetic Patterns in Sympatric Freshwater Turtles Challenge a Generalized Multi‐Species Conservation Approach

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure in the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina; left panel), Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii; bottom right), and spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata; top right) sampled in areas of co‐occurrence across ~49,160 km2.

LEVEL OF INBREEDING IN JERSEY COWS IN PUNJAB

Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2002
Pedigree, breeding and performance records of the purebred Jersey herd maintained at the Livestock Experiment Station, Bhunikey (Pattoki) Kasur during the period 1982-2000 were utilized for the present study.

The Weight of Genetic Drift: A Pedigree-Based Evaluation of the Breton Horse Population in Brazil

Veterinary Medicine International
The genetic diversity of Breton horses in Brazil is a critical concern, mainly due to the small population size and low number of births per year. Given that the inbreeding was overlooked by breeders for multiple generations, we estimated the genetic ...

A spatial model for social networks

, 2005
We study spatial embeddings of random graphs in which nodes are randomly distributed in geographical space. We let the edge probability between any two nodes to be dependent on the spatial distance between them and demonstrate that this model captures ...

Differential effects of offspring and maternal inbreeding on egg laying and offspring performance in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides [PDF]

, 2018
We investigate the effect of offspring and maternal inbreeding on maternal and offspring traits associated with early offspring fitness in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. We conducted two experiments.

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.
