NGS-μsat: bioinformatics framework supporting high throughput microsatellite genoty** from next generation sequencing platforms
Although genetic techniques are moving toward collecting massive amounts of genome-wide data through genome-scans, microsatellite markers (µsats)...

Genetic identifications challenge our assumptions of physical development and mother–calf associations and separation times: a case study of the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis)
While photo-identification is an effective tool to monitor individuals in wild populations, it has limitations. Specifically, it cannot be applied to...

Reproductive success of Bornean orangutan males: scattered in time but clustered in space
AbstractThe social and mating systems of orangutans, one of our closest relatives, remain poorly understood. Orangutans ( Pongo spp . ) are highly...

Reproductive Tactics in Baleen Whales
While a variety of reproductive tactics are readily witnessed in odontocetes, such behaviors can be far more elusive in baleen whales and in some...

Study of fertility restoration and genetic diversity of drought-tolerant breeding lines for hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) development
The identification of fertility restoration and genetic diversity of drought-tolerant breeding lines will be useful for the development of promising...

Development of genome-wide novel microsatellite markers and genetic variability analysis of Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790)
The Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer , is an important species in the Asia-Pacific region and is cultured widely. The growing demand for its seed has...

Seed dispersal capacity of Salix caprea L. assessed by seed trap** and parentage analysis
The natural regeneration of Salix caprea L. in disturbed forest areas is an important ecological phenomenon occurring during succession in temperate...

Genetic Tools to Investigate the Consequences of Sex
The primary purpose of sex is reproduction. However, because not all mating events result in fertilization and only a small number of species provide...

Relatedness, parentage, and philopatry within a Natterer’s bat (Myotis nattereri) maternity colony
Given their cryptic behaviour, it is often difficult to establish kinship within microchiropteran maternity colonies. This limits understanding of...

Sibship analysis revealed the reproductive strategy and current population status of the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China
Reproductive strategy and population status are crucial factors to understand species adaptation mechanism and to make suitable conservation...

Influence of maternal characteristics and reproductive history on recruitment in an iteroparous ungulate
In reproductive dynamics, recruitment is a critical biological process to ensure populations remain viable. While extrinsic factors such as predation...

Effective population size of adult and offspring cohorts as a genetic monitoring tool in two stand-forming and wind-pollinated tree species: Fagus sylvatica L. and Picea abies (L.) Karst.
Genetic diversity is considered to be a prerequisite for adaptation and adaptability as it is a key element of biological diversity. However, the...

Androgens, antlers, and sexual selection: testosterone’s relationship to reproductive success and associated morphological characteristics in white-tailed deer
While hormones such as testosterone are known to drive reproduction and sexually selected traits in many species, research demonstrating a...

A review of how the biology of male sea turtles may help mitigate female-biased hatchling sex ratio skews in a warming climate
In a warming climate, male sea turtles may become increasingly rare due to temperature-dependent sex determination with females being produced at...

Genetic worth of multiple sets of cowpea breeding lines destined for advanced yield testing
The objective of this study was to determine genetic potentials in eight sets of cowpea lines for grain yield (GY), hundred seed weight (HSDWT) and...

Short Tandem Repeat Mutations in Paternity Analysis
Polymorphic autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) are a class of genetic markers that are routinely being used for parentage testing purposes in...

Using genomic relationship likelihood for parentage assignment
BackgroundParentage assignment is usually based on a limited number of unlinked, independent genomic markers (microsatellites, low-density single...

Genetic evidence for polyandry in the threatened green and golden bell frog
Identifying which species exhibit polyandry may lead to further insights into evolutionary biology and social behaviour. However, confirming...
