the niches of nuthatches affect their lineage evolution differently across latitude.	ecological niche evolution can promote or hinder the differentiation of taxa and determine their distribution. niche-mediated evolution may differ among climatic regimes, and thus, species that occur across a wide latitudinal range offer a chance to test these heterogeneous evolutionary processes. in this study, we examine (a) how many lineages have evolved across the continent-wide range of the eurasian nuthatch (sitta europaea), (b) whether the lineages' niches are significantly divergent or c ...	2019	30565765
autosomal and sex-linked (co)variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits of iranian zandi sheep.	separation of autosomal and sex-linked direct additive genetic effects has significant role in sheep breeding programs. hence, this study was conducted to determine the genetic parameters of autosomal and sex-linked effects for growth traits of zandi sheep. the data set used in this study contained 7571 zandi lambs, descendent of 220 sires and 1481 dams, which were collected from zandi sheep breeding station at khojir, tehran, iran from 1992 to 2011. the fixed effects included of year (20 classe ...	2020	32170649
estimates of covariance components and genetic parameters for growth, average daily gain and kleiber ratio in harnali sheep.	the aim of the present study was to estimate the (co)variance components and genetic parameters for various growth traits (weight at birth (bwt) and 3 (wt3), 6 (wt6), 9 (wt9), and 12 (wt12) months of age), average daily gain (adg1, 0-3; adg2, 3-6; and adg3, 6-12 months of age), and kleiber's ratio (kr1:adg1/wt30.75 and kr2:adg2/wt60.75) by using records of 526 lambs of 41 sires and 186 dams in harnali sheep maintained at department of animal genetics and breeding, lala lajpat rai university of v ...	2020	32144658
quantifying the effect of inbreeding on average daily gain and kleiber ratio in mazandaran native chickens.	the aims of this study was to evaluate inbreeding effects for growth rate (average daily gain from hatch to 8 weeks of age (adg1-8), average daily gain from hatch to 12 weeks of age (adg1-12), average daily gain from 8 weeks of age to 12 weeks (adg8-12), average daily gain from hatch to sex maturity (adg1-sm), average daily gain from 8 weeks of age to sex maturity (adg8-sm), average daily gain from 12 weeks to sex maturity (adg12-sm), and kleiber ratios (kr1-8, kr1-12, kr8-12) in mazandaran nati ...	2020	32638155

estimation of genetic parameters for growth traits and kleiber ratios in boer x central highland goat.	accurate performance evaluation and genetic parameters estimation are the prerequisites for any successful genetic improvement program. this study was conducted to estimate genetic parameters for growth and kleiber ratio traits in boer x central highland goats. on-station data collected from 2009 to 2018 were utilized for the study. a general linear model procedure of the statistical analysis system (sas, version 9.0) was used to analyze fixed effects, and genetic parameters were estimated using ...	2020	32748084
