Effects of Novel Mutations in the LEPR Gene on Litter Size in Gobi Short Tail Sheep and Sonid Sheep
Veterinary SciencesIncreasing the litter size in sheep is a primary objective in breeding programs, driving sustained interest in identifying candidate functional genes and molecular markers associated with fecundity. The known FecD mutation in the LEPR gene has been shown

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Housework is central to feminist calls for recognition of women's work, economic histories explaining the sexual division of labour, and claims regarding the progressive role of scientific knowledge. Yet little is known about the time it actually took. We address this lacuna.

A longitudinal study of avian pox in a small passerine, the Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
Ibis, EarlyView.Long‐term, longitudinal studies of disease in wild bird populations are rare. Diseases are important determinants of bird survival and may spill‐over into other species including livestock and, in some cases, humans. Avian pox is a globally distributed disease, resulting from infection by viruses in the genus Avipoxvirus (APV).

Evaluating Selection Strategies Based on Inbreeding Load via Simulation
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inbreeding load is the fraction of the mutation load that is due to recessive action of mutations. This load is only expressed in individual's inbred offspring. As such, inbreeding load contributes to genetic heterogeneity among individuals and can thus be used as a criterion of selection.
