Abstract:
... Many environmental contaminants could be transmitted from parents and generate impairments to their progeny. The 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP), a novel brominated flame retardant which has been frequently detected in various organisms, was supposed to be bioaccumulated and intergenerational transmitted in human beings. Previous studies revealed that TBP could disrupt thyroid endocrine system in zebra ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the relationship between fish parental age and offspring performance over their life cycle is crucial for aquaculturists. This study investigates the effect of parental age for both 1- and 2-year-old fish on the growth and survival rates of their larval to grow-out stages for two wild and domesticated strains of bighead catfish (Clarias macrocephalus). Fish were sampled from the Viet ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this study was to determine the inheritance of traits related to seed oil yield and fatty acid profile components and to estimate the genetic relationships between these traits in Cucurbita moschata D. This study assessed six generations derived from crosses between parents with contrasting traits under study. F₁ plants were obtained from the crossing between BGH 7319 (P₁) and ‘Tr ...
... Evidence from in vitro and rodent studies suggests that organophosphate esters (OPEs) may disrupt sex steroid hormone homeostasis, but no human studies, to date, have examined the effects of in utero exposure to OPEs on offspring reproductive development. Anogenital distance (AGD) is a sensitive biomarker of fetal hormonal milieu and has been used to assess reproductive toxicity. We evaluated the ...
... The increase in temperature due to global warming greatly affects the toxicity produced by pesticides in the aquatic ecosystem. Studies investigating the effects of such environmental stress factors on next generations are important in terms of the sustainability of ecosystems. In this study, the effects of parental synergistic exposure to glyphosate and temperature increase on the next generation ...
... Conditions experienced early in development can affect the future performance of individuals and populations. Demographic theories predict persistent population impacts of past resources, but few studies have experimentally tested such carry‐over effects across generations or cohorts. We used bumble bees to test whether resource timing had persistent effects on within‐colony dynamics over sequenti ...

Abstract:
... The native tropical pine (Pinus merkusii Jungh. and de Vriese) has been genetically improved in Indonesia since 1977; nevertheless, minor evaluations of aphid resistance have been conducted since 2004. As a result, a progeny test for aphid resistance was established in 2010 in Lawu, Central Java, Indonesia. Subjects in the trial were attacked significantly at the rate of 30.7% after 4 years, but s ...

Genetic parameters for resin production of Pinus merkusii progeny test collected from three landraces in Banyumas Barat Forest District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 2010-2016. Pinus merkusii Jungh. et de Vriese is a native pine species in Indonesia that is used in the production of essential and economically valued produc ...
... A prominent threat to causal inference about peer effects in social science studies is the presence of homophily bias , that is, social influence between friends and families is entangled with common characteristics or underlying similarities that form close connections. Analysis of social study data has suggested that certain health conditions such as obesity and psychological states including ha ...

Abstract:
... Group‐living animals are often faced with complex reproductive decisions, namely how to partition within‐group reproduction, how to obtain extra‐group reproduction and how these two means of reproduction should be balanced. The solutions to these questions can be difficult to predict because ecological conditions can affect the scopes for within‐group and extra‐group reproduction in complex ways. ...

Abstract:
... It was long assumed that only humans can distinguish the living from the dead. Renewed interest in this question over the last decade has led several authors to assert that non-human primates are also aware of death. We investigate this issue by comparing the behaviours of monkeys and great apes toward helpless conspecifics, basing our analysis on published reports. We first examine the behaviours ...

Abstract:
... The underlying drivers of variation in the colouration (colour and pattern) of animals can be genetic, non‐genetic, or more likely, a combination of both. Understanding the role of heritable genetic elements, as well as non‐genetic factors such as age, habitat or temperature, in shaping colouration can provide insight into the evolution and function of these traits, as well as the speed of respons ...

Abstract:
... In the present study, we aimed to estimate the upper limit of apomixis occurring in Jatropha under field conditions. We used unlinked microsatellite and AFLP markers on progeny arrays of six individuals which were designed to facilitate the detection of apomixis events more efficiently than previous reports. With 5-7 microsatellite markers, 5 of 90 progenies were identical to their maternal parent ...

Abstract:
... Brood parasites, such as the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus), rely on manipulating hosts from other species to raise their offspring. Selection should favor individuals that are able to identify and choose host nests that closely match the incubation stage of their own eggs. While intuitive, and supported by the findings of numerous long-term monitoring studies, experimental evidence of this remai ...

Abstract:
... In this communication, we analyze the variation in diapause incidence among isofemale substrains of the main laboratory strain of Trichogramma telengai Sor. (Hymenoptera, Trichogrammatidae) in order to clarify the nature of the previously discovered individual (intrastrain) variation in this trait. During the experiment, the maternal generation developed at a temperature of 20°C under a day length ...

Abstract:
... Inbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of the offspring of related individuals, can affect males and females differently. Although a comprehensive theoretical framework describing the causes of sex‐specific inbreeding depression is lacking, empirical evidence suggests that often one sex tends to be more vulnerable than the other. However, the generality, direction, and degree of sex‐specific d ...

Abstract:
... Biparental care occurs when males and females cooperate to care for their joint offspring. It is associated with sexual conflict because the benefits stem from the combined effort of both parents, while any costs depend on each parent's own effort. Thus, biparental care involves a delicate balance between cooperation and conflict. Shifts in this balance are likely to be driven by environmental con ...

Abstract:
... Captive‐breeding programs are actively engaged in conservation and resource enhancement for a variety of species around the world, yet captive‐bred individuals often experience reduced fitness in the wild due to inbreeding and adaptation to captivity. Increasing wild‐type genetic contributions has been proposed as one solution to this problem, but the demographic impacts of these contributions rem ...

Abstract:
... Fledging at older ages has been posited as benefiting offspring survival, whereas shortening the duration of the nestling period may reduce parental costs. Improving parental condition through food supplementation before hatching of the young may reduce parental foraging costs and thereby delay the inducement of fledging while not affecting nestlings directly. Here I show experimentally that brood ...

Currently, the Australian sugarcane breeding program is conducted at 6 research stations by Sugar Research Australia in collaboration with Wilmar Sugar. Crossing is mainly conducted in Meringa, whereas selection is carried out at 6 differe ...
