We examined these hypotheses by utilising a multi-breed experimental design to estimate the between breed genetic variation for feather pecking and cannibalism, behavioural time budgets and measures of fear, sociality and coping strategy.
Nexia scientists are pursuing a bizarre experiment straight out of "The Island of Dr. Moreau," H.G. Wells's dark science-fiction fable of a mad scientist who breeds experimental animals on his private preserve.
But these are just some of the peculiar aromas and flavours a new breed of experimental brewers crave as they embrace "wild yeast" – harvested from the likes of brewers' beards and rotting fruit.
However, the allele-specific effects are very much dependant on genetic background (breed) and experimental model (single locus vs. multi locus effects).
Humanism bred the experimental science of Francis Bacon, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Galileo and the mathematical investigations of René Descartes, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Sir Isaac Newton.
Three of these hatchlings were grown to adulthood and bred for experimental analysis.
