Mangrove habitat partitioning by Ucides cordatus (Ucididae): Effects of the degree of tidal flooding and tree-species composition during its life cycle
(2013-06-01)
Environmental factors strongly affect mangrove crabs, and some factors modulate population structure and habitat partitioning during the crabs' life cycle. However, the effect of these environmental factors on habitat ...
Diet composition of expanding breeding populations of the Magellanic Penguin
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-05)
The Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) is the most abundant and widely distributed seabird breeding on the Patagonian Coast of Argentina. We combined conventional stomach content and stable isotope analysis to ...
Signatures of Selection in Composite Vrindavani Cattle of India
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2020-12-18)
Vrindavani is an Indian composite cattle breed developed by crossbreeding taurine dairy breeds with native indicine cattle. The constituent breeds were selected for higher milk production and adaptation to the tropical ...
Breeding potential of maize composite Isanão VF1 in small spacing in the second growing season
(2008-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to verify the breeding potential of the maize composite Isanão VF1 in the second growing season. One hundred and fifty half-sib progenies were evaluated at spacing of 0.45 m, densities of ...
Intraspecific variability in isotopic composition of a monomorphic seabird, the Common Tern ( Sterna hirundo ), at wintering grounds
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-04)
Understanding sex differences in foraging behaviour has important implications for breeding biology and population ecology. This requires the evaluation of segregation throughout the annual cycle, including the non-breeding ...
Phenotypic plasticity of composite beef cattle performance using reaction norms model with unknown covariate
(2013-02-01)
The objective of the present study was to determine the presence of genotype by environment interaction (G × E) and to characterize the phenotypic plasticity of birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), postweaning weight ...

Effectiveness of a 95 SNP panel for the screening of breed label fraud in the Chinese meat market
(Elsevier, 2016-02)
Breed assignment has proved to be useful to control meat trade and protect the value of special productions. Meat-related frauds have been detected in China; therefore, 95 SNPs selected from the ISAG core panel were evaluated ...
Effects of microhabitat preferences on kelp gull Larus dominicanus breeding performance
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-02)
We examined microhabitat preferences and their adaptiveness for the kelp gull Larus dominicanus in one of its largest colonies in Patagonia. We quantified 13 habitat variables at 104 and 92 nest-sites and at 70 and 60 ...
RAPID COMMUNICATION: Multi-breed validation study unraveled genomic regions associated with puberty traits segregating across tropically adapted breeds
(2019-07-02)
An efficient strategy to improve QTL detection power is performing across-breed validation studies. Variants segregating across breeds are expected to be in high linkage disequilibrium (LD) with causal mutations affecting ...
