Range contraction and loss of genetic variation of the Pyrenean endemic newt Calotriton asper due to climate change
(Springer Verlag, 2016)Many studies have identified climate warming to be among the most important threats to biodiversity. Climate change is expected to have stronger effects on species with low genetic diversity, ectothermic physiology, small ... -

(Islamic Azad University, Rasht Branch, Rasht, Iran, 2014-09-10)This study estimated the magnitude of sexual dimorphism in a relict sheep from Catalunya (NE Spain), called Fardasca, using geometric morphometric techniques. For these analyses, a total of 18 skull specimens (2 adult males ... -
Relación entre el nivel de grasa e ingestión y la excreción urinaria de nitrógeno y energía, en gazapos en crecimiento-cebo
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2001)Se determinó la excreción urinaria de nitrógeno (NU, %) y de energía (EU, kcal/100g), en la última semana de vida, de 36 conejos alimentados, desde el destete (a los 28 d) hasta el sacrificio a los dos meses de edad, con ... -
Relation between hoof area and body mass in ungulates reared under semi-extensive conditions in the spanish Pyrenees.
(Global Researchers Journals, 2012-04-14)The aim of this study was to compare hoof area and its relation to body mass in some domestic ungulates. Data from 58 horses, 9 cows and 14 goats demonstrated significant differences in hoof area. The ratio of body mass ... -
Relationship between gilt behavior and meat quality using principal component analysis
(Elsevier, 2014)Pig on-farm behavior has important repercussions on pig welfare and performance, but generally its relation- ship with meat quality is not well understood. We used principal component analysis to determine the rela- tionship ... -
Relationship between heat stress during the peri-implantation period and early fetal loss in dairy cattle
(Elsevier, 2006)The aim of the present study was to establish whether temperature-humidity index values, as a measure of heat comfort, from Days 1 to 40 of gestation could be associated with the pregnancy loss rate in high producing dairy ... -
Relationship between perilipin genes polymorphisms and growth, carcass and meat quality traits in pigs
(Wiley, 2016-02)The perilipins (PLIN) belong to a family of structural proteins that play a role regulating intracellular lipid storage and mobilization. Here, PLIN1 and PLIN2 have been evaluated as candidate genes for growth, carcass and ... -
Relationship between rainfall and Neospora caninum-associated abortion in two dairy herds in a dry environment
(Wiley, 2005)The possible direct relationship between climate variations and abortion in Neospora caninum-infected cows has not been studied. The objective of this study was to determine whether climate changes could be a risk factor ... -
Relationship between Sap Flow, Maximum Daily Shrinkage and Other Ecophysiological Parameters in Prunus avium Subjected to Water Stress
(International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), 2012)Daily sap flow and maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) are two parameters that can be used for irrigation decision-making. In this subchapter we try to understand the different behavior of the two parameters at different timescales. ... -
Relationships between Body Weight and Milk Yield During the Early Postpartum Period and Bull and Technician and the Reproductive Performance of High Producing Dairy Cows
(Society for Reproduction and Development, 2012)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of body weight (BW) change during the early postpartum period and BW on day 50 post partum on the subsequent expression of estrus and fertility at first insemination before ... -

Resilience effects of SGK1 and TAP1 DNA markers during PRRSV outbreaks in reproductive sows
(MDPI, 2020-05-22)The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a major infectious stressor that causes serious health problems and productivity drops. Based on previous genome-wide analyses, we selected SGK1 and TAP1 ... -
Response to selection for decreased backfat thickness at restrained intramuscular fat content in Duroc pigs
(American Society of Animal Science, 2013)Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a relevant trait for the pig industry and consumers. However, selection for IMF has the undesired correlated effect of decreasing lean growth. A selection experiment was performed to ... -
