Effects of urban life on the gut microbiota and the susceptibility to avian malaria infection in a population of the house sparrow Passer domesticus

Journal of Avian Biology, EarlyView.
Life in urban areas may alter the gut microbiota and host physiology, leading to a higher susceptibility to pathogens. In contrast, specific members of the gut microbiota community have been shown to mitigate the intensity of malaria infection. House sparrows, living in close proximity to humans, are exposed to a unique environment with human‐shaped ...

No support for solar radiation as a major evolutionary driver of malar stripes in falcons

Journal of Avian Biology, EarlyView.
The malar stripes of falcons (Falco spp.) are often hypothesised to function by reducing the amount of solar glare reflected into the falcon's eyes while hunting, thereby aiding foraging efficiency in bright conditions. This ‘solar glare hypothesis' is supported by intraspecific trends in peregrine falcons Falco peregrinus, in which populations ...

The Effect of Preselection on the Level of Bias and Accuracy in a Broiler Breeder Population, a Simulation Study

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many breeding programmes have to perform preselection, as genotyping and phenotyping all potential breeder candidates is often not a feasible option. There is need to understand how preselection affects the quality of the genomic estimated breeding values (EBVs) at final selection and thereby can affect genetic progress.

Practical Considerations When Using Mendelian Sampling Variances for Selection Decisions in Genomic Selection Programs

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this work was to test the application of selection criteria that consider the genetic variances of future generations. This has not been done previously in numerically large livestock breeding programs based on estimated rather than assumed known marker effects.
