Prospects of Marker-Assisted Recurrent Selection: Current Insights and Future Implications
The long-term goal of a breeder is to increase genetic variation by bringing desirable genes from natural populations into the breeding population....
-
Flexible hidden Markov models for behaviour-dependent habitat selection
BackgroundThere is strong incentive to model behaviour-dependent habitat selection, as this can help delineate critical habitats for important life...
-
Environmental variation shapes and links parasitism to sexual selection
Parasite-driven population divergence in hosts can be exacerbated by environmental factors affecting host parasitism, as well as by increasing sexual...

Hunting mode and habitat selection mediate the success of human hunters
BackgroundAs a globally widespread apex predator, humans have unprecedented lethal and non-lethal effects on prey populations and ecosystems. Yet...

High-affinity one-step aptamer selection using a non-fouling porous hydrogel
Aptamers, commonly referred to as chemical antibodies, are used in a wide range of applications including drug delivery and biosensing. However, the...

Sexual selection on a female copulatory device in an insect with nuptial gifts
AbstractMale genitalia are rapidly evolving structures, often driven by sexual selection to increase fertilisation success. Although sexual selection...

Fractal feature selection model for enhancing high-dimensional biological problems
The integration of biology, computer science, and statistics has given rise to the interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics, which aims to decode...
-
Mitochondrial haplotype and mito-nuclear matching drive somatic mutation and selection throughout ageing
Mitochondrial genomes co-evolve with the nuclear genome over evolutionary timescales and are shaped by selection in the female germline. Here we...
