Nitrogen‐, water‐ and radiation‐use efficiencies affected by sugarcane breeding in Argentina
(2017-04)
This study aimed to identify whether and how sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) breeding in Argentina modified nitrogen‐use efficiency (NUE), water‐use efficiency (WUE) and radiation‐use efficiency (RUE). Thirteen varieties were ...
Improving initial trials in tree breeding using kinship and breeding values estimated in the wild: the case of Prosopis alba in Argentina
(Springer, 2015-05)
Most Argentinean forests have been lost by over exploitation and expansion of agricultural areas. The National breeding program for the native species Prosopis alba is still in its initial phase with only a few progeny ...
Better late than never? Interannual and seasonal variability in breeding chronology of gentoo penguins at stranger point, Antarctica
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-03)
Rapid climate change recorded in the western Antarctic Peninsula confronts species with less predictable conditions in the marine and terrestrial environments. We analysed the breeding chronology and nesting site selection ...
Genetic characterization of mangalarga marchador breed horses based on microsatellite molecular markers
(W. B. Saunders Ltd, 2020-12)
The Mangalarga Marchador (MM) horse breed has expressive importance in the Brazilian economy. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate diversity in the MM breed. A database with a total of 3,193 genotyped horses was ...
First description of the breeding chronology of the white-collared swift (Streptoprocne zonaris) in Argentina
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2011-09)
Nesting activity of the White-collared Swift (Streptoprocne zonaris) was monitored from October 2001 to March 2002 to describe the breeding chronology of this species. Data were obtained from the colony 'La Cueva de los ...
Nitrogen-, water- and radiation-use efficiencies affected by sugarcane breeding in Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-04)
This study aimed to identify whether and how sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) breeding in Argentina modified nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE), water-use efficiency (WUE) and radiation-use efficiency (RUE). Thirteen varieties were ...
Kinship and genetic mating system of the Grayish Baywing (Agelaioides badius), a cooperatively breeding Neotropical blackbird
(American Ornithologists' Union, 2017-04)
Kin selection theory predicts that extrapair mating should be rare in cooperatively breeding birds. However, most cooperative breeders are not genetically monogamous and the relationship between promiscuity and cooperative ...
Weather and agricultural intensification determine the breeding performance of a small generalist predator
(Nature, 2020-12-12)
Land-use changes due to agricultural intensification and climatic factors can affect avian reproduction. We use a top predator of agroecosystems, the American kestrel (Falco sparverius) breeding in nest boxes in Central ...
Avian responses to forest fragmentation during the breeding and non-breeding seasons
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Forest fragmentation represents a threat to several bird species worldwide. Several factors can change across seasons (e.g. bird perception of the landscape, weather conditions, biotic interactions), which can modify the ...
Poor body conditions during the breeding period in a seabird population with low breeding success
(Springer, 2018-09)
Breeding has a high energetic cost and, in central place foragers, also restricts the ability of parents for self-foraging, with affecting on their body and immunological conditions. In migratory species, breeding overlaps ...
