Breeding for resilience in finishing pigs can decrease tail biting, lameness and mortality
BackgroundPrevious research showed that deviations in longitudinal data are heritable and can be used as a proxy for pigs’ general resilience....

Effect of environmental variance-based resilience selection on the gut metabolome of rabbits
BackgroundGut metabolites are key actors in host-microbiota crosstalk with effect on health. The study of the gut metabolome is an emerging topic in...

The genetics of resilience and its relationships with egg production traits and antibody traits in chickens
BackgroundResilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly return to its initial state before exposure...

Genetic analysis of the blood transcriptome of young healthy pigs to improve disease resilience
BackgroundDisease resilience is the ability of an animal to maintain productive performance under disease conditions and is an important selection...

Selection for environmental variance of litter size in rabbits involves genes in pathways controlling animal resilience
BackgroundEnvironmental variance (V E ) is partially under genetic control, which means that the V E of individuals that share the same environment can...

Does resilience to fire confer resilience to grazing in savanna ant communities of Northern Australia?
IntroductionEvolutionary traits acquired in response to one type of disturbance will potentially confer resilience to other disturbances that have...

Soil Resilience
Soils are dynamic and subject to numerous degradative processes (e.g., erosion, compaction, salinization, acidification). Most of all, climatic...

A promising resilience parameter for breeding: the use of weight and feed trajectories in growing pigs
BackgroundIncreasing resilience is a priority in modern pig breeding. Recent research shows that general resilience can be quantified via variability...
-
Exploring resilience concepts and strategies within regional food systems: a systematic literature review
Adaptive strategies that build resilience within food systems are urgently needed to address food supply chain disturbances. Increasingly severe and...
