Inbreeding and fertility in Irish Wolfhounds in Sweden: 1976 to 2007

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2009
Background Given that no influence of inbreeding on life expectancy could be demonstrated in Irish Wolfhounds in a previous study, it was decided to test the influence of inbreeding and other parameters on fertility in this breed.

Why rotation and mixture fail: treatment history and the declining acaricide efficacy in Varroa destructor

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The effect of IRM strategies (rotation, mixture), one additional year under acaricide treatment (Years treated (+1 year)), and one year without acaricide treatment (Years off treatment (+1 year) on mite mortality relative to an approximately 17% baseline.

Homozygosity and risk of childhood death due to invasive bacterial disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Genetic heterozygosity is increasingly being shown to be a key predictor of fitness in natural populations, both through inbreeding depression, inbred individuals having low heterozygosity, and also through chance linkage between a marker and

Inbreeding Depression in Two Mimulus Taxa Measured by Multigenerational Changes in the Inbreeding Coefficient [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1993
In mixed-mating plant populations, one can estimate the relative fitness of selfed progeny w by measuring the inbreeding coefficient F and selfing rate s of adults of one generation, together with F of adults in the following generation (after selection).

Why wolves walk – drivers of daily movement in a social large carnivore

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Animal movement patterns are influenced by a range of extrinsic and intrinsic factors, including the distribution of resources, human disturbance, landscape connectivity, species interactions, and individual traits. We examined factors associated with daily movement distance (DMD) and linearity in 20 territorial Scandinavian wolves Canis lupus during ...

Population structure and inbreeding of Holstein cattle in southern Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2020
The present investigation aimed to evaluate the population structure and inbreeding of Holstein herds in southern Brazil. To carry out the analysis, the Associação Paranaense de Criadores de Bovinos da Raça Holandesa (APCBRH) in Brazil provided the data,

Analysis of resistance against white spot syndrome virus infection in Fenneropenaeus chinensis considering different inbreeding coefficients

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2023
The relationship between inbreeding and traits of disease resistance in shrimp has not been studied comprehensively. To explore the effect of inbreeding on white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) resistance in Fenneropenaeus chinensis, we established F ...

Assessing genetic diversity in a reintroduced Mediterranean griffon vulture Gyps fulvus population to inform long‐term conservation management

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reintroductions play a key role in conservation biology. Their long‐term success strongly depends on maximizing the genetic diversity of founders, as well as on ensuring ecological connectivity with adjacent populations. Accordingly, evaluating the conservation status of reintroduced populations to limit the loss of their genetic diversity requires ...
