Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of selection.

Unraveling Biotypes Related to Thermotolerance During Lactation in Maternal‐Line Pigs Through Principal Component and Factor Analyses

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress imposes significant challenges to welfare, health, and productivity of lactating sows due to their limited thermoregulatory capacity and increased metabolic heat load. Genetic selection for improved heat tolerance is a promising yet complex approach, given the large number of biological processes involved in heat stress response ...

Heritability of Productive, Reproductive and Carcass Traits in Pure‐Bred and Cross‐Bred Pigs: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heritability (h2) is a key parameter in animal breeding, but its magnitude and consistency across pure‐bred (PB) and cross‐bred (CB) pig populations remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare heritability estimates between PB and CB populations for economically relevant traits through a systematic review and meta‐analysis.

Finding the sweet spot: An exploration of environmental factors to optimize Ulva carbohydrate content and composition

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Green macroalgae from the Ulva genus are rich in polysaccharides of interest, including ulvan, starch, and cellulose. However, their content and structure are impacted by environmental factors, which poses challenges for industrial applications, especially in the context of climate change.

Integrative revision of the Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae (Diptera: Calliphoridae): Revision of the Calliphora stygia‐ and ochracea‐groups

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae are revised using an integrative approach combining morphology and mitogenomics. A new taxonomic key, morphological images and verified mitogenomic data, including COX1 barcodes, are provided to support the identification of species.
