Sentence examples for breeding programs to maintain from inspiring English sources

In any event, the varying Nb and Ne estimates of different broodstocks in Table 4 suggest that the capacity of captive breeding programs to maintain genetic diversity in endangered salmonids will likely be case-specific.

Interlocus sexual conflict generates coevolutionary arms races which have been thought to accelerate evolution of traits, particularly the antagonistic evolution of reproductive traits (Van Doorn 2009; Arbuthnott and Rundle 2012); this opposes the goal of captive breeding programs to maintain genetic diversity and prevent (response to) selection.

Consequently, even if levels of neutral genetic diversity can be sufficiently maintained in captivity, caution must be exercised in interpreting such data for risk assessment and the ability of captive breeding programs to maintain fitness, a subject treated in detail in the next section.

Inbreeding in yaks is a particular problem in Bhutan, Nepal and India (Cai and Wiener 1995) and the lack of an efficient yak breeding program to maintain the genetic diversity in yaks is reported as a major problem in Nepal (Shaha 2000).

The cub's birth is part of the Species Survival Plan, a cooperative breeding program meant to maintain genetic diversity and demographic stability in zoo populations of threatened and endangered animals.

While empirical and theoretical studies both suggest that most salmonid captive breeding programs can maintain genetic diversity over several captive generations, considerable uncertainty remains with respect to the capability of many programs to maintain genetic diversity over the longer-term.

In the early to mid-1900s, extensive grape breeding programs were maintained in multiple states of the former Soviet Union, which used germplasm acquired from Central Asia, China, the trans-Caucasus region, Africa, and Europe.

Thus, optimizing developmental plasticity would benefit the breeding programs to control the GxE interaction.
