Influence of game restocking on the migratory behaviour of the common quail, Coturnix coturnix
Background: The common quail, Coturnix coturnix, is a migratory bird hunted extensively across Europe. To satisfy this hunting interest, thousands of farm-reared birds are restocked every year. However, restocked individuals are not common quail but hybrids with domestic Japanese quail, C. japonica. Interbreeding between restocked and native birds in the wild allows the entry of alien alleles t...
متن کاملComparison of Introgression and Synthetic Breed Strategies for Litter Size Trait in Sheep using Computer Simulation
The objective of this study was to compare introgression and synthetic breed strategies for litter size trait improvement in sheep using computer simulation. For this purpose, a trait with heritability of 0.1, consisting of two chromosomes was simulated. On chromosome 1, a single QTL as the major gene was created that accounted for 40% of the total genetic variance. The effect of favorable and ...
متن کاملAmplified fragment length polymorphism and sequence analyses reveal massive gene introgression from the European fungal pathogen Heterobasidion annosum into its introduced congener H. irregulare.
The paucity of fungal species known to be currently hybridizing has significantly hindered our understanding of the mechanisms driving gene introgression in these eukaryotic microbes. Here, we describe an area of hybridization and gene introgression between the invasive plant pathogen Heterobasidion irregulare (introduced from North America) and the native H. annosum in Italy. A STRUCTURE analy...
متن کاملSignatures of Archaic Adaptive Introgression in Present-Day Human Populations
Comparisons of DNA from archaic and modern humans show that these groups interbred, and in some cases received an evolutionary advantage from doing so. This process-adaptive introgression-may lead to a faster rate of adaptation than is predicted from models with mutation and selection alone. Within the last couple of years, a series of studies have identified regions of the genome that are like...
متن کاملSignificance of galactomannan antigen for aspergillosis diagnosis: A review
Invasive aspergillosis is one the major causes of death in hematopoietic and solidtransplantrecipients. One of the most critical problems in medical mycology is theinability to consistently make a convincing and early diagnosis of invasive fungalinfection. Conventional diagnosis methods such as culture-based approaches are limitedby the insufficient accessibility sensitivity and the non-culture...
