traits as well as identified correlations including details of the trait, mutation, disease risk and/or affected breeds of a mammal species, and a second database based on a gene test made for the individual mammal, the database including genotyping data of the individual mammal to be ...
Because he's male, he has an X and a Y chromosome, and because I'm female, I have two X chromosomes. That may seem like a small difference on paper, but biologically it makes us very different indeed! Sex chromosomes do more than this, though. They carry a lot of information that...
Extrapair paternity has been suggested to represent a potentially important source of sexual selection on male secondary sexual characters, particularly in... BC Sheldon,H Ellegren - 《Animal Behaviour》 被引量: 695发表: 1999年 Heritability of fitness in a wild mammal population Classical population...
Ecosystems largely depend, for both their functioning and their ecological integrity, on the ecological traits of the species that inhabit them. Non-human primates have a wide geographic distribution and play vital roles in ecosystem structure, function, and resilience. However, there is no comprehens...
Genome sequencing reveals insights into physiology and longevity of the naked mole rat The naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is a strictly subterranean, extraordinarily long-lived eusocial mammal. Although it is the size of a mouse, its ... EB Kim,X Fang,AA Fushan,... - 《Nature》 ...
The primary characteristic of a vampire is feeding on blood. Although many ectoparasites such as mosquitoes andleeches also drink blood, the vampire bat is the only species of mammal that is truly haematophagic (feeds exclusively on blood). ...
Quantitative genetic studies of life-history traits in wild populations are very rare, yet variance/covariance estimates of these traits are crucial to understanding the evolution of reproductive strategies. We estimated heritabilities () of several life-history traits (longevity, age and mass at primi...
global efforts such as the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) initiative and the Farm animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project are working to uncover basic knowledge of genomic function and regulation in livestock species [7,8,9]. However, a comprehensive atlas of regulatory...
‘facilitates the exploration and exploitation of an environment’. Indeed, in a worked example extending CSR Theory beyond plants, Grime and Pierce [12] draw similar parallels by predicting the traits of an R-selected mammal would encompass those that facilitate being ‘opportunistic in ephemeral ...
