  1. 1. Genetic consequences of translocations in the Doñana population of the endangered Iberian lynx

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Gaia Mora; [2024]
    Keywords : Conservation Genetics; Iberian lynx conservation; endangered species; species conservation;

    Abstract : Conservation genetics for endangered species is crucial in long-term conservation actions.Inbreeding depression and genetic diversity are main genetic parameters with relevance toconservation. The Iberian lynx was by 2002 the most endangered felid in the world. READ MORE

  3. 2. Estimating Variant Intolerance for Genes of Cattle

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Simon Lanigan; [2024]
    Keywords : Genes; Cattle;

    Abstract : Cattle play a crucial role in providing nutrition and economic stability worldwide. Threats to their health, particularly infectious diseases, and genetic mutations, can have profound implications for both animal and human livelihoods. READ MORE

  4. 3. Heritability of methane emission in Swedish Red cattle in northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Lucy Chipondoro; [2024]
    Keywords : methane emission; heritability; swedish Red cattle; dairy cow;

    Abstract : Dairy cattle contribute a significant proportion of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly methane (CH4), among other livestock species. Methane has a negative impact on climate; therefore, its reduction is a top priority for a sustainable dairy production system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Systematics and the evolution of flower symmetry of Posoqueria (Rubiaceae)

    Abstract : The genus Posoqueria is a Neotropical group of shrubs and trees in the coffee family Rubiaceae. Posoqueria is phylogenetically poorly understood and presents several internal taxonomical difficulties. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.
