    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Erica Gumpert Herlofson; [2014]
    Keywords : flushing; tillskottsutfodring; reproduktion; får; nötkreatur; hund; flushing; focus feeding; reproduction; sheep; cattle; dog;

    Abstract : Flushing är samlingsnamnet för tillskottsutfodring med fodermedel med högt energiinnehåll i syfte att förbättra den reproduktiva förmågan hos djur. Metoden används aktivt på flera av lantbrukets djur men fokus för det här arbetet är främst får och nötkreatur då de allra flesta studier gjorts på dessa djurslag. READ MORE

  5. 9. Sperm morphology and reproductive isolation in Ficedula flycatchers

    University essay from Zooekologi; Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Murielle Podevin; [2011]
    Keywords : evolution; speciation; sperm; flycatchers; gametic isolation; hybridization;

    Abstract : Speciation lies at the heart of evolution and the study of reproductive barriers allows a better understanding of the different steps leading to the complete isolation of two species. Pre-mating (behavior tactics, habitat or food divergence, phenotypic divergence and assortative mating) and post-mating, post-zygotic isolation barriers (selection against unfit hybrids) are well studied in numerous species, but little is known about what is happening between insemination and fertilization (post-mating, pre-zygotic isolation barriers).
