Directional selection coupled with kin selection favors the establishment of senescence
BackgroundConventional wisdom in evolutionary theory considers aging as a non-selected byproduct of natural selection. Based on this, conviction...

A dual-function selection system enables positive selection of multigene CRISPR mutants and negative selection of Cas9-free progeny in Arabidopsis
The CRISPR/Cas9 technology revolutionizes targeted gene knockout in diverse organisms including plants. However, screening edited alleles,...

Analysis of polygenic selection in purebred and crossbred pig genomes using generation proxy selection map**
BackgroundArtificial selection on quantitative traits using breeding values and selection indices in commercial livestock breeding populations causes...
-
Runs of homozygosity and selection signature analyses reveal putative genomic regions for artificial selection in layer breeding
BackgroundThe breeding of layers emphasizes the continual selection of egg-related traits, such as egg production, egg quality and eggshell, which...
-
Selection index theory for populations under directional and stabilizing selection
BackgroundThe purpose of a selection index is that its use to select animals for breeding maximizes the profit of a breed in future generations. The...

Measurement of response to selection in silkworm commercial hybrids against individual selection of parental lines
Six parental pure lines of Iran silkworm were recorded individually, with forty males and forty females in each of these six parental lines acting as...

Genomic selection: an effective tool for operational Eucalyptus globulus clonal selection
Arauco is one of the largest forest companies in Chile and it has an intensive breeding and clonal selection program for Eucalyptus globulus, with...

A Framework for Selection of High-Yielding and Drought-tolerant Genotypes of Barley: Applying Yield-Based Indices and Multi-index Selection Models
Drought stress is one of the major environmental stresses that dramatically reduces agricultural production around the world. Barley ( Hordeum vulgare ...

Phenoptosis and the Various Types of Natural Selection
AbstractIn the first description of evolution, the fundamental mechanism is the natural selection favoring the individuals best suited for survival...

Behavioral selection in structured populations
The multilevel model of behavioral selection (MLBS) by Borgstede and Eggert (Behav Process 186:104370. 10.1016/j.beproc.2021.104370 , 2021) provides a...

Marker-Assisted Selection in Wheat
Wheat is the world’s leading cereal grain crop, widely used due to its social and economic value. Wheat can grow in a wide range of climatic...

Automated content analysis as a tool to compare content in sexual selection research with examples of sexual selection in evolutionary biology textbooks: implications for teaching the nature of science
BackgroundWe used college-level evolution textbooks to examine the presentation of sexual selection research—a field with ongoing debates related to...

Chemical communication and its role in sexual selection across Animalia
Sexual selection has been studied as a major evolutionary driver of animal diversity for roughly 50 years. Much evidence indicates that competition...

Is Cultural Selection Creative?
This paper aims to draw some theoretical relationships between two fields of research that have remained more separated than they should have:...

Using pseudo-absence models to test for environmental selection in marine movement ecology: the importance of sample size and selection strength
BackgroundUnderstanding the selection of environmental conditions by animals requires knowledge of where they are, but also of where they could have...

MarkerMap: nonlinear marker selection for single-cell studies
Single-cell RNA-seq data allow the quantification of cell type differences across a growing set of biological contexts. However, pinpointing a small...
-
Turtle and tortoise mitogenomes under contrasting positive selection pressure
Testudinoidea represents an evolutionarily unique taxon comprising both turtles and tortoises. Turtles and tortoises are closely associated groups...
-
Detecting natural selection in trait-trait coevolution
No phenotypic trait evolves independently of all other traits, but the cause of trait-trait coevolution is poorly understood. While the coevolution...

Characterizing patterns of selection pressure on mammalian antiviral immune response
Immune response is known to be under constant evolutionary pressure from different factors including pathogens. Although different selection regimes...

Gene panel selection for targeted spatial transcriptomics
Targeted spatial transcriptomics hold particular promise in analyzing complex tissues. Most such methods, however, measure only a limited panel of...
