Forty years of captive breeding in Przewalski's horse: pedigree‐based insights into population growth, sex ratio, and inbreeding

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term captive breeding programs play a critical role in the conservation and reintroduction of endangered species, yet they face persistent challenges related to demographic structure and genetic management. The Przewalski's horse Equus przewalskii, once extinct in the wild, represents a global model for conservation breeding supported by pedigree ...

Genetic and phenotypic variation in wood tiger moths from the Caucasus: insights into male warning color variation

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

Reduction of inbreeding in commercial females by rotational mating with several sire lines

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2004
A mating system to reduce the inbreeding of commercial females in the lower level was examined theoretically, assuming a hierarchical breed structure, in which favorable genes are accumulated in the upper level by artificial selection and the achieved ...
