Subject:
progeny,   etc   ; aneuploidy; chromosomes;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Advances in embryo and reproductive genetics have influenced clinical approaches to overcome infertility. Since the 1990s, many attempts have been made to decipher the genetic causes of infertility and to understand the role of chromosome aneuploidies in embryo potential. At the embryo stage, preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders has offered many coupl ...

Abstract:
... During vertebrate development, the posterior end of the embryo progressively elongates in a head-to-tail direction to form the body plan. Recent lineage tracing experiments revealed that bi-potent progenitors, called neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs), produce caudal neural and mesodermal tissues during axial elongation. However, their precise location and contribution to spinal cord development r ...

Abstract:
... Across teleost fishes, a wide range of parental care strategies have been observed. However, despite this large variation in parental care behaviors, postnatal nutritional provisioning has rarely been documented in fishes. In other taxa, anecdotal evidence suggests that nutritional provisioning of offspring via mucus secretion by parents may occur, although this phenomenon has received little atte ...

Abstract:
... In animal breeding, parents of the next generation are usually selected in multiple stages, and the initial stages of this selection are called preselection. Preselection reduces the information available for subsequent evaluation of preselected animals and this sometimes leads to bias. The objective of this study was to establish the minimum information required to subsequently evaluate genomical ...

Abstract:
... We develop a game-theoretic model to explore the question of whether two animals should cooperate in the dangerous activity of obtaining a rich and essential resource. We consider variation in the risks incurred to individuals and in how the activities of the two animals interact to influence the probability of success. We also consider that the animals may be relatives and thus share evolutionary ...

Abstract:
... Sturgeon and paddlefishes (Acipenseriformes) are cultured worldwide for commercial and conservation purposes. Over the past decade, we have learned many sturgeon culture programs experience spontaneous autopolyploidy, or the generation of triploidy without management intervention. Spontaneous autopolyploidy has been shown to negatively impact the physiology, reproductive development and fertility ...

Abstract:
... The behavior of eating their mates or a part of their mate's body has been studied in sexual cannibalism or nuptial feeding. In these behaviors, only one sex eats the other unilaterally. Within mating pairs of a wood‐feeding cockroach (Salganea taiwanensis), males and females eat the mate's wings each other, which is the first “mutual” case in these behaviors. Because the evolution of sexual canni ...

Abstract:
... Viruses are infectious agents that hijack the host cell machinery in order to replicate and generate progeny. Viral infection is initiated by attachment to host cell receptors, and typical viral receptors are cell-surface-borne molecules such as proteins or glycan structures.

Abstract:
... Bet-hedging strategies help organisms to decrease variance in their fitness in unpredictably changing environments, by which way lineage fitness can be maximized in the given environment. As one strategy, diversified bet-hedging helps to achieve that by increasing phenotypic variation in fitness-related traits. For example, in diversified tracking, parents may divide the developmental phenotypes o ...

Abstract:
... Pest species control operations are most effective if every individual in a population is targeted. Yet, individual personality drives variation in animal responses to devices such as traps and baits. Failing to account for differences in behavior during control operations may drive a selective removal, resulting in residual animals with biased expressions of personality. If these biased traits ar ...

The disease is characterized by the lack or diminished activity of Factor VIII (FVIII), caused by variants in the F8 gene and inherited as an X chromosomal trait. Two related male Rhodesian Ridgebacks were diagnosed with Hemophilia A due to reduced FVIII activity. The purpose of the study was to determine the genetic c ...

Abstract:
... Upon fertilization, oocytes transform into totipotent and pluripotent cleavage stage cells through the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), which is regulated by maternal factors and zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Here, we investigated the in vivo function of 16 genes expressed with strong biases in oocytes and cleavage stage embryos by generating knockout (KO) mice. These MZT-associated genes ...

progeny,   etc   ; evolutionary biology; mutation; reproductive performance;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Fitness is a central but notoriously vexing concept in evolutionary biology. The propensity interpretation of fitness is often regarded as the least problematic account for fitness. It ties an individual's fitness to a probabilistic capacity to produce offspring. Fitness has a clear causal role in evolutionary dynamics under this account. Nevertheless, the propensity interpretation faces its share ...

Abstract:
... Small-scale spatial variability can affect community dynamics in many ecological and biological processes, such as predator-prey dynamics and immune responses.

Abstract:
... Sexual conflict over parental investment is widespread among species with biparental care. Studies have indicated that a high degree of behavioural similarity between the two parents can increase offspring survival; however, it remains unclear how sexual conflict over parental care is resolved. In this study, we examined whether similarity of personality traits between the two parents plays an imp ...
