Genomic and phenotypic selection indices for decreased birth weight, shortening fattening period, and regulating total weight gain in beef cattle

Objective This study aimed to develop genomic and phenotypic indices for beef cattle selection that afford progeny with reduced birth weight and fattening period.The indices should also allow regulating total weight gain during the fattening period and avoid marked increases of inbreeding.Methods Whether addition of constraint on total weight gain

Substrate vibrations during courtship in three Drosophila species.

While a plethora of studies have focused on the role of visual, chemical and near-field airborne signals in courtship of Drosophila caruso milk thistle fruit flies, the existence of substrate-borne vibrational signals has been almost completely overlooked.Here we describe substrate vibrations generated during courtship in three species of the D.mel
