EFFECT OF INBREEDING ON LOIN AND FAT DEPTH IN HUNGARIAN LANDRACE PIGS [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2007
Pedigree and field test data - collected between 1997-2005 - were analyzed in a group of 68062 Hungarian Landrace pigs. The analysed traits were loin depth (LD), fat depth1 (FD1) and fat depth2 (FD2).

Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.

A review of ecological risks of coral reef interventions

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, essential for biodiversity, livelihoods, and global economies, face severe threats from climate change and other stressors. Curbing greenhouse emissions is crucial, but the urgent situation also calls for immediate intervention strategies.

Multi‐generation analysis of whether local or genetically mixed populations perform best in restoration plantings

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Proper selection of genetic material is critical for restoring populations, with local seed often selected to maximize local adaptation. But if local populations are small, inbred, or maladapted, then including genotypes from various populations may enhance population growth and long‐term adaptation.

Interactive effects of inbreeding and endocrine disruption on reproduction in a model laboratory fish

Evolutionary Applications, 2013
Inbreeding depression is expected to be more severe in stressful environments. However, the extent to which inbreeding affects the vulnerability of populations to environmental stressors, such as chemical exposure, remains unresolved.

Ecology of reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Dinosaur National Monument La Ecología de Borrego Cimarron de las Montañas Rocosas Reintroducido en el Monumento Nacional de Dinosaurio

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.
We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

A major QTL affects temperature sensitive adult lethality and inbreeding depression in life span in Drosophila melanogaster

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background The study of inbreeding depression has major relevance for many disciplines, including conservation genetics and evolutionary biology. Still, the molecular genetic basis of this phenomenon remains poorly characterised, as knowledge on the ...

Integrative Taxonomy of Pachygrontha (Heteroptera: Pachygronthidae) in East and Southeast Asia Reveals New Insights Into Species and Group Delimitation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This manuscript presents a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the insect genus Pachygrontha in East and Southeast Asia, addressing the critical need for robust species delimitation in closely related lineages. Our research employs an integrative approach, combining detailed morphological examination with complete mitochondrial genomes and genome‐wide ...

Multi‐Marker Mitochondrial Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Black Sea Sturgeons (Acipenseridae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Sturgeons are an important species due to their complex genetic structure and evolutionary characteristics. Unfortunately, they are threatened with extinction due to illegal and overfishing, as well as the loss of their natural habitats. In our work, we examine the genetic diversity of four sturgeon species that inhabit the Black Sea basin and its ...

Inbreeding depression in Holstein cattle in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia
The objective of this study was to evaluate inbreeding depression in Holstein cows in Brazil, considering their 305-day milk production (MP), age of first calving (AFC), and calving interval (CI).
