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 ...

2. I studied natural selection on dispersal behaviour over the course of four breeding seasons in a Bahamian population of brown anoles ( Anolis sagrei ). 3. Both males and females showed extremely high site fidelity over the course of each reproductive season. Movement distance in males was ...
Thus far, adaptation has occurred in limited ways, and as a result, the majority of conflicts with biodiversity conservation stem from mitigation schemes. In both examples governments are keen to see the projects implemented, not least because they will help in meeting carbon-reduction targets. The...

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...
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 ...
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...
