Abstract Polyamory is an umbrella term denoting the practice of having multiple romantic and intimate relationships with consent everyone involved. Within a mononormative culture, becoming polyamorous may be associated uncertainty feeling being suspended. Moreover, preferential attitude towards monogamy marginalises polyamory as indecent corrupt, creating feelings shame social isolation. Our re...

the aim of this study was using bayesian approach via gibbs sampling (gs) for estimating genetic parameters of production, reproduction and health traits in iranian holstein cows. data consisted of 320666 first- lactation records of holstein cows from 7696 sires and 260302 dams collected by the animal breeding center of iran from year 1991 to 2010. (co) variance components were estimated using ...

productive and reproductive traits have great importance in international dairy cattle breeding objectives. production, reproduction (days open and calving interval) and pedigree data of iranian holstein dairy cattles were collected between 2002 and 2012 from 47 herds in isfahan province. the data set consisted of 30179 records from 18837 registered iranianholstein dairy cattles. single trait r...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Species' habitat affinities along environmental gradients should be determined by a combination of physiological (hard) and morpho-anatomical (soft) traits. Using a gradient of soil water availability, we address three questions: How well can we predict habitat affinities from hard traits, from soft traits, and from a combination of the two? How well can we predict species' ...
