The use of alternative breeding schemes to enhance genetic improvement in rainbow trout: II. Two-stage selection
(ELSEVIER, 2006-04-28)
The potential of selection in stages to increase genetic gain and profit in rainbow trout breeding was assessed. The theory of Cochran was utilized to predict genetic gains under alternative breeding schemes mimicking the ...
Conservation opportunities in commercial plantations: The case of mammals
(2011)
Enhancing the structural complexity of commercial plantations could enrich the presence of mammals within them. We tested this hypothesis through a meta-analysis in order to determine whether more complex plantations, with ...
Dynamic inversion of the 2015 Jujuy earthquake and similarity with other intraslab events
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05)
We study the seismic source of the 2015 (M-w 6.7) Jujuy, Argentina intermediate depth earthquake. We first constrain the fault plane by using a teleseismic inversion and by determining the aftershock distribution. Then, ...
Consequences of sexual size dimorphism on energetics and locomotor performance of Grammostola rosea (Araneae; Teraphosidae)
(Wiley, 2016)
Most male spiders are smaller than females; during sexual maturity, males
change their behaviour, abandoning their web or nest to seek out receptive females
actively, whereas females stalk prey near their web or nest and ...
Cold exposure and sleep in the rat: REM sleep homeostasis and body size
(AMER ACAD SLEEP MEDICINE, 2008-05-01)
Study Objectives: Exposure to low ambient temperature (Ta) depresses REM sleep (REMS) occurrence. In this study, both short and long-term homeostatic aspects of REMS regulation were analyzed during cold exposure and during ...
Bioenergetics and intestinal phenotypic flexibility in the microbiotherid marsupial (Dromiciops gliroides) from the temperate forest in South America
(2011)
The microbiotherid marsupial Dromiciops gliroides inhabits the temperate forests of the Southern hemisphere, facing seasonal nutritional and energetic bottlenecks due to its apparently facultative insectivory/frugivory. ...
Scaling metabolic rate fluctuations
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2007-06-26)
Complex ecological and economic systems show fluctuations in macroscopic quantities such as exchange rates, size of companies or populations that follow non-Gaussian tent-shaped probability distributions of growth rates ...
