Comparison of a genetic group and unknown paternity models for growth traits in Nellore cattle
(Amer Soc Animal Science, 2013-11-01)
The aim of the present study was to compare a model assuming unknown paternity and a model using genetic grouping to indicate the most adequate statistical procedure for the estimation of breeding values for animals with ...
Mating opportunities, paternity, and sexual conflict: Paternal care in northern and southern temperate house wrens
(Springer, 2012-02)
Males are generally predicted to care less for their young when they have more additional mating opportunities, lower paternity, or when their mates care more. We tested these predictions using male provisioning as a proxy ...
Paternal treatment with cisplatin impairs reproduction of adult male offspring in rats
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2011-12-01)
This study evaluated the acute and persistent effects of paternal cisplatin-treatment on progeny. Wistar male rats (45 days old) were assigned into 2 groups. Control and cisplatin (CP: 1 mg/kg-d, 5 days/week, for 3 weeks, ...
Method for the estimation of genetic merit of animals with uncertain paternity under Bayesian inference
(2018-04-01)
The use of controlled mating or artificial insemination is impracticable in the case of large herds, mainly because of labour costs and the need to delimit areas during the breeding period. However, the exclusion of ...
Sexual differentiation and reproductive development of female rat offspring after paternal exposure to the anti-tumor pharmaceutical cisplatin
(2016-04-01)
Cisplatin (CP) is used to treat a number of cancers, including testicular cancer. Studies indicate that CP-treatment can impair spermatogenesis in humans and rodents by germ cell DNA binding, through different modes of ...
Female extra-pair behavior is not associated with reduced paternal care in thorn-tailed Rayadito
(Wiley, 2021)
Extra-pair behavior is present in 76% of socially monogamous bird species with biparental care. This behavior may produce costs to females related to a reduction in paternal care. We estimated the percentage of extra-pair ...
Amphisexual care in Acutisoma proximum (Arachnida, Opiliones), a neotropical harvestman with exclusive maternal care
(Birkhauser Verlag AgBaselSuíça, 2009)
Paternal and maternal ages at conception and risk of bipolar affective disorder in their offspring
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2010)
Background. A consistent association between paternal age and their offspring`s risk of schizophrenia has been observed, with no independent association with maternal age. The relationship of paternal and maternal ages ...
Evaluation of an average numerator relationship matrix model and a Bayesian hierarchical model for growth traits in Nellore cattle with uncertain paternity
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-03-01)
The objective of this work was to compare a model based on the use of an average numerator relationship matrix (ANRM) and a hierarchical animal model (HIER) to indicate the most appropriate statistical procedure to better ...
