Earlier generations of the New Zealand breeding programme partitioned the main breeding population into several breeds that concentrated on improving specific traits (Jayawickrama and Carson [2000]).
In the recent FNSF study in the US (Kesel et al., 2015) [2], a Dual-Coolant Lead-Lithium (DCLL) blanket has been selected as the main breeding blanket concept.
We first tested the hypothesis that subpopulations in the four main breeding areas within the lake are differentiated.
The association between densities of An. arabiensis and distance from the major breeding sites is shown in Figure 3. Mosquitoes were more abundant in houses located near main breeding sites on the shore of Lake Abaya than in those further away.
The lowest difference in EBV between the elite and "randomly selected" groups was observed in the Montbéliarde breed, likely because the objective of the main breeding organization involved in this breed is to genotype a large proportion of candidates from the whole population.
In addition, DNA from 17 Iberian pigs representing the main breeding nuclei of this breed were analyzed to identify SNPs of good quality that were monomorphic or had very low minor allele frequency (MAF) in the Torbiscal line.
The main breeding centre, in Sybille Canyon, Wyoming, has "preconditioning" classes for the young "kits" in wood-and-wire pens built over prairie-dog burrows.
The Tibetan, or black-necked, crane, a species unique to Asia, has already disappeared from Vietnam, and can now be sighted only in parts of China, India and Bhutan, besides its main breeding grounds on the Tibetan plateau.
The number of dengue cases reported this year is well down on last year, but the rainy season the main breeding time for the mosquitoes has yet to come.
They also backed establishing protected areas in the main breeding grounds.While such action is obviously long overdue, it is far from clear whether ICCAT's roughly 40 member countries will actually vote to do the right thing.
Rice germplasm is typically collected and managed in the main breeding centers and subsequently disseminated to more distant provinces.
