(Wiley, 2020)Selective breeding of tilapia populations started in the early 1990s and over the past three decades tilapia has become one of the most important farmed freshwater species, being produced in more than 125 countries around ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)The characterization of runs of homozygosity (ROH), using high-density single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) allows inferences to be made about the past demographic history of animal populations and the genomic ROH has ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)The human population grows inexorably. When Charles Darwin explored the southern cone of South America in 1830, fewer than 1.2 billion people inhabited Earth. When Ehrlich'sPopulation Bombappeared in 1968, there were similar ...
-
(Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2020)Nettle plants in Chile are an underutilized resource. Its use in animal nutrition is also limited. In addition, information about its composition (specifically fatty acids and aminoacids) is scarce. The objective of this ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Chitin is an excellent material for the synthesis of nanoparticles because it is an elicitor and can form nanostructured materials. The application of chitin nanoparticles (CNPs) in plants can activate early defense responses ...
-
(Nature, 2020)Nile tilapia belongs to the second most cultivated group of fish in the world, mainly because of its favorable characteristics for production. Genetic improvement programs and domestication process of Nile tilapia may have ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)In two experiments, the social influence on choosing between two novel diets was analyzed. In Experiment 1, a group of rats (demonstrators) ingested a novel flavor cue presented in powdered food or in a 4% sucrose solution. ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Biominerals fulfill various physiological functions in living organisms, however, pathological mineralization can also occur generating mineral pathologies such as the formation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) calculi in the ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2019)En el sistema intensivo de producción porcina, el destete se realiza alrededor de los 21 días posteriores al nacimiento del animal. Es considerado un destete temprano, donde los individuos tienen que sobrellevar una serie ...
-
(CSIRO, 2020)The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of connexin (Cx) 37 and Cx43 in canine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) during the oestrous cycle. Cx localisation was analysed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Simple Summary Eggs are a readily available and important food source for low income families that raise chicken in their households. It is therefore important to monitor if these products are safe for human consumption ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the main native fish produced in continental aquaculture from South America. However, its production has been negatively affected by significant economic losses due to frequent outbreaks ...
-
Recurrent horizontal transfer identifies mitochondrial positive selection in a transmissible cancer (Nature, 2020)Autonomous replication and segregation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) creates the potential for evolutionary conflict driven by emergence of haplotypes under positive selection for 'selfish' traits, such as replicative ...
-
(Wiley, 2020)We tested two questions: (i) whether the climatic conditions of the Azorean Islands in Portugal may have restricted the invasion ofHarmonia axyridisacross this archipelago and (ii) determine what population of this species ...
-
(Springer, 2020)Recent studies of the neurobiology of the dorsal frontal cortex (FC) of the ferret have illuminated its key role in the attention network, top-down cognitive control of sensory processing, and goal directed behavior. To ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2020)Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV2) is one of the most important intestinal pathogens in dogs and puppies. CPV2 has been evolved into three genetic and antigenic variants (2a, 2b, and 2c), which are distributed worldwide. We ...
-
(CSIRO, 2020)Context. Grape pomace maybe useful in broiler diets as a source of low cost antioxidants. Aims. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of including high concentrations of wine-grape pomace flour (WGPF) ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Undernourishment is a frequent condition in sheep pregnancies under extensive systems, since most of the pregnancies occur when the prairie has the lowest forage allowance. Underfed sheep pregnancies are associated with ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Maternal pregestational obesity is a well-known risk factor for offspring obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms by which maternal obesity can induce alterations in fetal ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Optimum contribution selection (OCS) and mate selection (MS) are alternative strategies to maximize genetic gain under controlled rates of inbreeding. There is evidence in the literature that MS outperforms OCS in controlling ...
