How many fathers? Study design implications when inferring multiple paternity in crocodilians
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9379
Abstract: Abstract Up to 10 males were reported to sire clutches of crocodilian eggs but review of the underlying study designs raised questions of potential upward bias of inferred sire numbers. To test this premise, different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/an15574
Abstract: Australian sheep producers have the potential to improve reproductive rates through optimising ewe body condition across the production cycle. Managing ewe body condition can become costly when supplementary feeding is required due to poor pasture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skae234.322
Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine if sire or dam had a stronger impact on age at first parturition of Brahman heifers (n = 833) born between 2000-2021. Typically, in Bos taurus heifers,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.16198
Abstract: Aspergillus flavus is a ubiquitous saprotrophic soil-borne pathogenic fungus that causes crops contamination with the carcinogen aflatoxins. Although Sirtuin E (SirE) is known to be a NAD-dependent histone deacetylase involved in global transcriptional regulation. Its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/age.13507
Abstract: Abstract In this study, I report an unexpected case of a Holstein calf that developed horns even though the sire was homozygous and the dam was heterozygous for polledness. After verifying and confirming the correct… read more here.
