Exploring the non-genetic factors that affect reproduction traits of Saanen Goats in Indonesia
Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2023 Adjustment of trait records for different non-genetic factors increases the accuracy of genetic parameters and enables more accurate selection. This study aimed to investigate the non-genetic factors affecting reproductive traits in Saanen goats at the ...

Co-evolution of male and female reproductive traits across the Bruchidae (Coleoptera) [PDF]
, 2008 1. Despite the obvious importance of spermatozoa to individual reproductive success a general explanation of variation in spermatozoan form and function is still lacking. In species with internal fertilization, sperm not only have to interact with the

Environmental conditions during early life accelerate the rate of senescence in a short-lived passerine bird [PDF]
, 2015 Environmental conditions experienced in early life may shape subsequent phenotypic traits including life history. We investigated how predation risk caused by domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) and local breeding density affected patterns of ...

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

Effect of competitive cues on reproductive morphology and behavioral plasticity in male fruitflies [PDF]
, 2015 Phenotypic plasticity will be favored whenever there are significant fitness benefits of responding to environmental variation. The extent and nature of the plasticity that evolves depends on the rate of environmental fluctuations and the capacity to ...
