Multi-trait GWAS using imputed high-density genotypes from whole-genome sequencing identifies genes associated with body traits in Nile tilapia
(BMC, 2021)
Background: Body traits are generally controlled by several genes in vertebrates (i.e. polygenes), which in turn
make them difficult to identify through association mapping. Increasing the power of association studies ...
Living in cohousing communities: personality traits and trait emotional intelligence
(Semmelweis University, 2021-12)
Cohousing communities are characterized by an increased amount of exchanges in social support. Since this circumstance could be attributed to certain characteristics of their inhabitants, the aim of this study was the ...
Bimodal trait distributions with large variances question the reliability of trait-based aggregate models
(Springer, 2016-12-01)
Functionally diverse communities can adjust their species composition to altered environmental conditions, which may influence food web dynamics. Trait-based aggregate models cope with this complexity by ignoring details ...
Quantitative trait loci and antagonistic associations for two developmentally related traits in the drosophila head
(University of Arizona, 2017-01)
In insects, some developmentally related traits are negatively correlated. Here, we mapped Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for traits of eye size and head capsule, in an intercontinental set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) ...
Comparing taxon- and trait-environment relationships in stream communities
(2020-10-01)
Traits define how organisms interact with their surrounding environment and with other organisms. Thus, trait composition of biological communities is expected to change predictably along environmental gradients. Because ...
Genetic parameter estimation for pre- and post-weaning traits in Brahman cattle in Brazil
(Springer, 2014-10-01)
Beef cattle producers in Brazil use body weight traits as breeding program selection criteria due to their great economic importance. The objectives of this study were to evaluate different animal models, estimate genetic ...
Appearance traits in fish farming: Progress from classical genetics to genomics, providing insight into current and potential genetic improvement
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)
Appearance traits in fish, those external body characteristics that influence consumer acceptance at point of sale, have come to the forefront of commercial fish farming, as culture profitability is closely linked to ...
Phylogenies and traits provide distinct insights about the historical and contemporary assembly of aquatic insect communities
(2016-05-01)
The assumption that traits and phylogenies can be used as proxies of species niche has faced criticisms. Evidence suggested that phylogenic relatedness is a weak proxy of trait similarity. Moreover, different processes can ...
Ranking of Nellore animals in cattle championships: genetic parameters and correlations with production traits
(Funpec-editora, 2014-01-01)
Records of 17,141 Nellore cattle participating in cattle championships, born from 1994-2009, were used to estimate genetic parameters between animal rank in cattle championships, evaluated from weaning to 36 months of age ...
