Genomic and pedigree methods to analyse inbreeding depression in Basco-Bearnaise rams

, 2019
International audienceInbreeding depression is caused by increased homozygosity of individuals and it is involved in the decrease of performance and fitness of the animals.

Estimates of Genetic Parameters for Ewe Longevity and Lifetime Reproductive Performance Traits in South African Merino Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ewe's functional longevity impacts flock profitability by reducing annual ewe replacement costs and increasing ewe outputs over the production cycle. In this context, the main objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters of five ewe longevity indicators in South African Merino sheep.

Effect of Selection for High Growth on Resilience of Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly return to its pre‐disturbance state. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has investigated resilience in the giant freshwater prawn (GFP, Macrobrachium rosenbergii).

Spawning behaviour between endemic delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and non‐native Wakasagi (H. nipponensis) in the San Francisco estuary

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the San Francisco Estuary, non‐native Wakasagi Hypomesus nipponensis hybridize with endemic and endangered Delta Smelt H. transpacificus, and all wild‐caught hybrids have a maternal Wakasagi parent. However, the mechanisms that facilitate or impede hybridization and explain sex‐biased hybrid asymmetry between these two species remain ...

Genome‐wide association study of morphometric and metabolic characteristics in European populations of the sugar kelp Saccharina latissima

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a promising candidate for sustainable aquaculture in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, but genetic improvement has been hindered by a limited understanding of the genetic basis of economically important traits.

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Assessment of inbreeding coefficients and inbreeding depression on complex traits from genomic and pedigree data in Nelore cattle

BMC Genomics
Nelore cattle play a key role in tropical production systems due to their resilience to harsh conditions, such as heat stress and seasonally poor nutrition. Monitoring their genetic diversity is essential to manage the negative impacts of inbreeding.
