Detection of polymorphisms in six genes and their association analysis with litter size in sheep
Animal BiotechnologyLitter size in sheep is a complex trait controlled by micro-effective polygenes. APAF1, CLSTN2, CTH, PLCB1, PLCB4, and CHST11 are all involved in mammalian reproduction.

Density and reproductive characteristics of female brown bears in the Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain
The European Zoological Journal, 2018 Here we present annual nearest-neighbour distances (as a proxy of density) between females with cubs-of-the-year (hereafter FCOY) and reproductive characteristics of brown bears Ursus arctos in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain), from 1989 to 2017. FCOY

The contributions of soil biota to litter mass loss and home-field advantage in temperate forests
Ecological ProcessesBackground Soil biotic communities play an important ecological role in driving the litter decomposition, and moreover the home-field advantage (HFA). However, whether and how these communities with different body sizes regulate litter mass loss and HFA ...
