Comparison among Inbreeding Systems in Maize

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2001
The use of less severe inbreeding systems than self-fertilization has been suggested as a means of developing more vigorous maize lines (Zea mays L.). To compare different inbreeding systems, nine traits were evaluated in inbred lines developed by full ...

The richness, frequency and relatedness components of mate diversity and mate portfolios

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3703-3713, September 2026.
The effects of (a) equal and (b, c) unequal contributions to mate portfolios by 10 mates on (d) Hill‐number mate diversity profiles (see Eqn 1). Summary Sexual reproduction produces genetically diverse families, especially when individuals mate with multiple partners.

Cross‐ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is associated with ecological additivity and scale‐dependent niche divergence

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3669-3686, September 2026.
Genetic differentiation among the study species. Summary Hybridisation and whole‐genome duplication (WGD) are widespread in plants, yet their ecological consequences remain challenging to predict. In allopolyploids, where both processes coincide, ecological divergence is typically evaluated against a null hypothesis of ecological additivity.

Breeding and Seed Production of Aquaculture Species in Bangladesh: Current Status, Challenges and Prospects

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has become one of the fastest‐growing food production sectors in Bangladesh and contributes significantly to food security, nutrition, livelihoods and the national economy. In Bangladesh, aquaculture mainly relies on the culture of major carps, catfishes and shrimp, which are also widely farmed across Asia and other parts of the ...

Inbreeding depression for reproductive and yield related traits in S1 lines of maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006
This research was conducted to determine inbreeding depression in S1 maize lines for reproductive and yield related traits, at NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan, in two successive seasons during 2002.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Local Genetic Signatures of a Global Weed: Population Structure and Ecological Drivers of Capsella bursa‐pastoris Diversity in the Korean Peninsula

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Capsella bursa‐pastoris is a globally distributed weedy species widely used to study polyploid genome evolution, yet its East Asian populations remain poorly understood. Using RADseq from 187 accessions across the Korean Peninsula, we found evidence of outcrossing and extensive genetic admixture, likely driven by human‐mediated gene flow. These results

Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

Assessing Habitat Suitability and Landscape Connectivity for the Endangered Forest Musk Deer (Moschus berezovskii) at Its Northern Distribution Margin: A Multi‐Scale Ensemble Approach

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We investigated the habitat suitability and landscape connectivity of the endangered forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) at its northernmost known distribution limit using multi‐scale ensemble modeling and circuit theory. Our results highlight a scale‐dependent reliance on macro‐scale steep terrain and micro‐scale thermal refugia, while revealing ...
