paternity,   etc   ; color; females; males; monogamy;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... In species with biparental care, diel patterns in male and female incubation arise due to the differential costs and benefits of incubation. This pattern should be less obvious or absent in species where both sexes stand to benefit significantly from investing in incubation (i.e. in monogamous species with high paternity certainty), in temperate climates and in sexually monomorphic species where s ...

Abstract:
... In recent years, the number of publications on microhaplotypes has averaged more than a dozen papers annually. Many have contributed to a significant increase in the number of highly polymorphic microhaplotype loci. This increase allows microhaplotypes to be very informative in four main areas of forensic uses of DNA: individualization, ancestry inference, kinship analysis, and mixture deconvoluti ...

Abstract:
... Multiple paternity (MP) is a phenomenon observed for more than 30 elasmobranch species. The Batoidea is more specious than the Selachii, but only three studies of MP have been conducted on batoids. The occurrence of MP in freshwater stingrays was tested using microsatellite markers, which were developed for Potamotrygon leopoldi. Six mothers and their litters were genotyped, providing the first ev ...

Abstract:
... A major challenge in improving genetic merits of smallholder farmers’ flocks in developing livestock systems is the absence of pedigree and performance recording for reliable selection decisions. In this study, we evaluated the reliability of pedigree recording in a community-based Menz sheep village breeding program in Ethiopia, with the purpose of introducing genetic evaluation in the selection ...

Abstract:
... In socially monogamous species, extrapair paternity typically results from extrapair copulations, but it can also be due to rapid mate switching. Oring, Fleischer, Reed, and Marsden (1992, Nature, 359 (6396), 631–633) proposed a mechanism to explain the occurrence of extrapair paternity in sequentially polyandrous species: sperm stored by females from within-pair copulations with a previous mate c ...

Abstract:
... Deletion/insertion polymorphism (DIP) is a promising genetic marker of DNA length polymorphism. However, there are relatively few studies on the exploration of DIP genetic polymorphisms and investigation of population genetic data at present, which limits its application in forensic identification. In this study, the genetic polymorphisms of 57 autosomal DIPs and forensic application evaluations o ...

From a sample of 119 plants, 15 (12.6%) were non-sex-expressing, 16 (13.4%) were females without sporophytes, 38 (31.9%) were males, and 50 (42.0%) were females bearing sporophytes. Thus, 87.4% of all plants expressed sex, an ...
