effects of mating sex ratios on production performance in indian peafowl were investigated at punjabwildlife research institute, gatwala faisalabad. research was conducted from may through august 2007 toexplore the most productive mating sex ratio. the sex ratios have a significant effect on egg production.maximum mean eggs (1.63) were produced by the sex ratio 1:2 while maximum egg fertility (...

Rearing environment can have an impact on adult behavior, but it is less clear how rearing environment influences adult behavior plasticity. Here we explore the effect of rearing temperature on adult mating behavior plasticity in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, a species that has evolved two seasonal forms in response to seasonal changes in temperature. These seasonal forms differ in both morph...

We reasoned that mating animals by minimising the covariance between ancestral contributions (MCAC mating) will generate less inbreeding and at least as much genetic gain as minimum-coancestry mating in breeding schemes where the animals are truncation-selected. We tested this hypothesis by stochastic simulation and compared the mating criteria in hierarchical and factorial breeding schemes, wh...

Mating incompatibility in mushroom fungi is controlled by the mating-type loci. In tetrapolar species, two unlinked mating-type loci exist (A and B), whereas in bipolar species there is only one locus. The A and B mating-type loci encode homeodomain transcription factors and pheromones and pheromone receptors, respectively. Most mushroom species have a tetrapolar mating system, but numerous tra...

abstract glaucoma management in pregnant patients is a real challenge, especially when the glaucoma is not controlled with medications. we report the results of 6 incisional glaucoma surgeries for the management of medically uncontrolled glaucoma patients during pregnancy. this retrospective, case series was conducted on the 6 eyes of 3pregnant patients with uncontrolled glaucoma using maximum ...
