A haplotype regression approach for genetic evaluation using sequences from the 1000 bull genomes Project

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2018
Haplotypes from sequencing data may improve the prediction accuracy in genomic evaluations as haplotypes are in stronger linkage disequilibrium with quantitative trait loci than markers from SNP chips.

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Equity considerations in the proposed wildlife protocol to the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildlife trafficking poses a critical threat to global biodiversity, contributes to organized crime, and has disproportionate impacts on underserved and Indigenous communities. Although international legal instruments, such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and institutional collaborations,

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

From greenhouse conditions to the field: stability of tolerance to water deficit in the tomato wild relatives Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme and Solanum pimpinellifolium

BMC Plant Biology
Breeding tomatoes for tolerance to water deficit (WD) has become a crucial goal amidst climate change scenarios marked by water shortages. Given the limited tolerance within the cultivated genepool, the red-fruited wild relatives Solanum lycopersicum var.

Deep and shallow root ideotypes confer differential adaptation to single and combined nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency in eggplant MAGIC lines

Current Plant Biology
Increasing crop yields has traditionally relied on over-fertilization, mainly with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). To move towards sustainability, breeding for optimized root system architecture (RSA) is crucial for adaptation to low inputs.

A highly efficient organogenesis protocol based on zeatin riboside for in vitro regeneration of eggplant

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Efficient organogenesis induction in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is required for multiple in vitro culture applications. In this work, we aimed at developing a universal protocol for efficient in vitro regeneration of eggplant mainly based

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...
