Genome-Wide Association Study for Reproductive Traits in a Duroc Pig Population

Animals, 2019
In the pig industry, reproductive traits constantly influence the production efficiency. To identify markers and candidate genes underlying porcine reproductive traits, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed in a Duroc pig population.

An Appropriate Genetic Approach for Improving Reproductive Traits in Crossbred Thai–Holstein Cattle under Heat Stress Conditions

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Thailand is a tropical country affected by global climate change and has high temperatures and humidity that cause heat stress in livestock. A temperature–humidity index (THI) is required to assess and evaluate heat stress levels in livestock. One of the

Genetic Features of Reproductive Traits in Bovine and Buffalo: Lessons From Bovine to Buffalo

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Bovine and buffalo are important livestock species that have contributed to human lives for more than 1000 years. Improving fertility is very important to reduce the cost of production.

Reproductive trait differences drive offspring production in urban cavity‐nesting bees and wasps

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The contrasting and idiosyncratic changes in biodiversity that have been documented across urbanization gradients call for a more mechanistic understanding of urban community assembly. The reproductive success of organisms in cities should underpin their

Evidence for reproductive senescence across ray-finned fishes: A review

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The origin, incidence, and consequences of reproductive senescence vary greatly across the tree of life. In vertebrates, research on reproductive senescence has been mainly focused on mammals and birds, demonstrating that its variation is largely linked ...
