Estimates of genetic and phenotypic parameters for reproductive traits in Iranian native Kordi sheep
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2017 The data set for estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters of reproductive traits in Kordi sheep were collected from 1996 to 2013. The reproductive traits included age at first lambing (AFL), number of lambs born (NLB/EL) and weaned (NLW/EL) per ...

Adaptation to a seasonally varying environment: a strong latitudinal cline in reproductive diapause combined with high gene flow in Drosophila montana [PDF]
, 2011 Adaptation to seasonal changes in the northern hemisphere includes an ability to predict the forthcoming cold season from gradual changes in environmental cues early enough to prepare for the harsh winter conditions. The magnitude and speed of changes in

Plants, 2022 Although the effects of N deposition on forest plants have been widely reported, few studies have focused on rare and endangered fern species (REFs). Information is also lacking on the effects of micro-environments on REFs. We investigated the effects of

Complex Reproductive Traits and Whole-Organism Performance [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2017 Arnold's 1983 path-analytic paradigm, considering "morphology, performance, and fitness," has been elaborated in several ways. For example, current versions recognize the level of "behavior" (including aspects of motivation) as a filter between performance abilities (only measurable if motivation is maximal) and fitness components.

Genetic associations between reproductive and linear-type traits of Holstein cows in Brazil
Revista Brasileira de ZootecniaThis study aimed to estimate heritability, genetic, and residual correlations between reproductive traits such as age at first calving, calving interval, dry period, and first service period and linear type traits measured in Holstein cows born between ...

Reproductive efficiency and milk yield in Sindhi breed cattle
Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2020 The aim of this study was to identify the average of productive and reproductive traits in Red Sindhi females and evaluate if there is an influence of the reproductive traits on milk yield in this breed. Data related to reproductive and productive traits

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2016 Plant size and clonality are important traits for explaining the reproductive effort of clonal plants. Larger plants can invest more resources into reproduction, and clonality is known to increase reproductive effort.

Effects of selection for honey bee worker reproduction on foraging traits.
PLoS Biology, 2008 The "reproductive ground plan" hypothesis (RGPH) proposes that reproductive division of labour in social insects had its antecedents in the ancient gene regulatory networks that evolved to regulate the foraging and reproductive phases of their solitary ...

Relation of Production Traits and Reproduction Traits in Swine
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2007 In order to investigate the relation of production traits and reproduction traits the data from Gyungnam heugdon(Berkshire) were analyzed. Pearson correlation coefficients of the reproductive traits including days to first farrowing, days to first breeding and no. of breeding for first litter with back fat thickness were ranged -.24 to -.26.

Estimation of genetic parameters of pig reproductive traits
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 IntroductionIn this study, we aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of the reproductive traits in three popular commercial pig breeds: Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire. Additionally, we evaluated the factors that influence these traits.MethodWe collected data from a large number of litters, including 1,887 Duroc, 21,787 Landrace, and 74,796 Yorkshire ...
