Estimating genetic parameters with molecular relatedness and pedigree reconstruction for growth traits in early mixed breeding of juvenile turbot
An introduced turbot population was used to establish families and to estimate genetic parameters of the offspring. However, there is a lack of...

Development of SNP parentage assignment techniques in the yellowfin seabream Acanthopagrus latus
Acanthopagrus latus is an essential aquaculture species on the south coast of China. However, there is a lack of systematic breeding of A. latus ,...

Altitude as environmental filtering influencing phylogenetic diversity and species richness of plants in tropical mountains
Elucidating how multiple factors affect biodiversity and plant community assembly is a central issue in ecology, especially in vulnerable ecosystems...

Earth Systems Science (ESS) and Systems Ecology
Earth systems science (ESS) is a science that is strongly linked to biogeochemistry, through its study of the earth systems (lithosphere,...

Reducing the Common Environmental Effect on Litopenaeus vannamei Body Weight by Rearing Communally at Early Developmental Stages and Using a Reconstructed Pedigree
Heritability estimates may be severely biased when a large common environmental effect on a family arises from a long-lasting separate rearing at...

An estimation of genetic parameters of growth traits in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) using parental molecular relatedness
The estimation of genetic parameters has played an important role in animal selective breeding for growth traits. Recently studies show that...

Zooneuston and zooplankton abundance and diversity in relation to spatial and nycthemeral variations in the Gulf of Aqaba and northern Red Sea
Zooplankton and zooneuston observations were made at seven stations (four from the Gulf of Aqaba and three from the northern Red Sea), during...

Fungal intruders of enigmatic propagule clusters occurring in microbial mats from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert
Microbial mats in the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert represent diverse communities of organisms, which probably not only co-occurred in these...

Development of genomic microsatellite multiplex PCR using dye-labeled universal primer and its validation in pedigree analysis of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
There is an increasing requirement for traceability of aquaculture products, both for consumer protection and for food safety. There are high error...

Inbreeding and genetic diversity analysis in a hatchery release population and clones of Rhopilema esculentum based on microsatellite markers
Ten microsatellite markers were used to analyze the levels of genetic diversity and inbreeding in a hatchery release population of Rhopilema esculentum ...

Development of three multiplex PCR primer sets for ark shell (Scapharca broughtonii) and their validation in parentage assignment
Scapharca broughtonii is a commercially important and over-exploited species. In order to investigate its genetic diversity and population structure,...

Assessment of parental contribution and effective population size from a 3×3 diallel cross of clam Meretrix meretrix
Unbalanced parental contribution and small effective population size ( N e ) are common issues during the artificial breeding of marine bivalves. The...

Analysis of genetic diversity and differentiation of seven stocks of Litopenaeus vannamei using microsatellite markers
Seven microsatellite markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and differentiation of seven stocks of Litopenaeus vannamei , which were...

Y chromosomes of self-identified Syeds from the Indian subcontinent show evidence of elevated Arab ancestry but not of a recent common patrilineal origin
Several cultural or religious groups claim descent from a common ancestor. The extent to which this claimed ancestry is real or socially constructed...

Inheritance pattern of microsatellite loci and their use for kinship analysis in the Japanese scallop Patinopecten yessoensis
The inheritance mode of seven microsatellite markers was investigated in Patinopecten yessoensis larvae from four controlled crosses, and the...

Inheritance mode of microsatellite loci and their use for kinship analysis in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
Five full-sib families of the Pacific oyster ( Crassostrea gigas ) larvae were used to study the mode of inheritance at eight microsatellite loci, and...
-
An aggregation of lizard skeletons from the Lower Cretaceous of China
Many fossil taxa are known only from single specimens, making it difficult to gauge levels of intraspecific, and particularly ontogenetic, variation....

Ontology of evolution and methodology of taxonomy
The theoretical basis of evolutionary biology is presented and discussed to introduce the reader to problems of evolutionary theory and particularly...
