Berari goats are medium sized animals reared mainly for meat purpose. They are predominantly brown and blackish brown in colour with glossy hair and found in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. Berari is not a recognized breed but a well established local population of goat which is yet to be fully explored for its phenotypic and genetic aspects. Within population genetic variation was examin...

Red-bellied piranhas (Pygocentrus nattereri) are widely caught with different intensities throughout the region of Solimões-Amazonas River by local fishermen. Thus, the management of this resource is performed in the absence of any information on its genetic stock. P. nattereri is a voracious predator and widely distributed in the Neotropical region, and it is found in other regions of American...

Polygyny is expected to erode genetic variability by reducing the diversity of genetic contribution of males to the next generation, although empirical evidence shows that genetic variability in polygynous populations is not lost as rapidly as expected. We used microsatellite markers to study the genetic variability transmitted by mothers and fathers to offspring during a reproductive season in...

In this study, a microsatellite-based multiplex PCR panel for meagre (Argyrosomus regius) was developed as useful and single tool in parental assignment population studies. Twenty-one specific interspecific microsatellites from different aquaculture species of regius), Japanese (A. japonicus), red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) yellow (Acoupa weakfish) were assessed genetic variability, allelic ran...

Genetic variation among the individuals is considered as an important tool for conservation of livestock animals. This study was conducted to analyze the genetic variation, phylogenetic relationship and paternal lineages among Iranian dog populations using seventeen autosomal and Y chromosome-specific microsatellite markers. Total DNAs of the samples were extracted and applied for genotype anal...

Abstract The grey squirrel ( Sciurus carolinensis ) is an invasive rodent in Ireland that has had detrimental impacts on the native Irish red S. vulgaris as well silviculture. This species spread rapidly throughout Ireland, but recent years appears to be declining certain areas of country. study analysed genetic profile populations gain insight into their introduction, evolutionary history and ...
