ssGBLUP Method Improves the Accuracy of Breeding Value Prediction in Huacaya Alpaca
Animals, 2021 Improving textile characteristics is the main objective of alpaca breeding. A recently developed SNP chip for alpacas could potentially be used to implement genomic selection and accelerate genetic progress.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Recognizing conservation contributions from areas outside protected areas (PAs), including other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs), is increasingly central to meeting global biodiversity targets. However, little is known about which areas could qualify as OECMs and whether they support forest conservation.

Causal inference for the covariance between breeding values under identity disequilibrium
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 Background The covariance matrix of breeding values is at the heart of prediction methods. Prediction of breeding values can be formulated using either an “observed” or a theoretical covariance matrix, and a major argument for choosing one or the other ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aeromonas hydrophila is a major zoonotic bacterial pathogen responsible for haemorrhagic septicemia, substantial economic losses in aquaculture and increasing antimicrobial resistance among field isolates. It is also one of the main bacterial species associated with mortality outbreaks in pirapitinga, Piaractus brachypomus, culture in the ...

Scientific ReportsInbreeding can have negative effects, such as increasing the expression of deleterious alleles or reducing fitness. A method based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM) was developed to determine the probability of an individual genome in a homozygous-by-descent

Determination of α-tocopherol in pork with high intramuscular fat content
Grasas y Aceites, 1996 Extraction of α-tocopherol from pork samples with low (3%) (LF) or high (9%) (HF) amount of intramuscular fat have been carried out by three different methods, two of them based in saponification plus extraction of α-tocopherol and the other one without ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Tropical farmers try to adapt calf‐rearing systems to temperate dairy industry standards. Calves in tick‐infested areas develop stronger immunity to TBD under controlled exposure to ticks. Early tick exposure promotes sustainable management, balancing tick infestation and developing TBD immunity.
