BREEDING FACILITIESMACAQUESOLD WORLD PRIMATESSELECTIVE BREEDINGPrimates are bred in captivity for a number of purposes, from zoo-based captive breeding programmes for conservation to breeding for biomedical research. In each case, breeding animals that are fit for purpose, either as viable candidates ...

Given the environmental and population distinctiveness, we assessed the role of potential selective pressures in shaping phenotypes of brown boobies nesting at the SPSP. For this, we used an observational approach to extensively document the phenotypic variations, nest characteristics, diet, and foraging...
I'd also like to point out that the only reason dogs exist is because man altered the environment, by genetically modifying wolves -- through selective breeding -- into a more useful species. By your logic why are we leaving rat's alone then or cockroaches, where do we stop. Again tho...

The ability to see colors is not universal in the animal kingdom. Those animals that can detect differences in the wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum glean valuable sensory information about their environment. They use color vision to forage, av
Currently, fish sperm cryobanking is considered to be a potentially powerful tool in aquaculture for fish hybridization, selective breeding programs for biodiversity, and also for the restoration of endangered species [4], [5]. Many successful protocols for sturgeon sperm cryopreservation have been ...

Because selection acts primarily on proteins and not DNA sequences, synonymous changes are often treated as selectively neutral (but see below) thus enabling measurement of the degree of selective constraint on amino acid sequences. Under neutrality ω is expected to equal 1, whereas values of ω...
limiting the use of this germplasm in breeding is the need to efficiently identify accessions harboring advantageous genetic variants, and linkage drag associated with introgressing these desired genetic variants into elite germplasm20. Recent advances in genomics and molecular technologies, however, ...
