Abstract:
Camels have peculiar reproductive characters when compared to bovines and equines. Camels are multipurpose livestock species uniquely adapted to harsh arid and semi-arid areas that can be used for meat, milk, wool, and hide production and transportation. In desert areas, they serve both as a food source and as a medium of transport (Ship of the Desert).

Abstract:
The variability of some reproductive characters in sugar beet, to be more exact the phyllotaxis characters was investigated. Flowers (and fruits) on the sugar beet floral shoot are arranged spirally. One of the phyllotaxis characters is a distribution of the number of spirals in the shoot. This character is subject to the normal distribution law. The same kind of distribution is typical for other reproductive characteristics in sugar beet (number of fruits on the shoot, length of shoot).The spiral number per length unit on the floral shoot are also obeying to the normal distribution and varyin

Character displacement is commonly observed when species occur in secondary contact zones and traits related to resource competition or reproduction diverge in sympatry. However, few studies have considered the factors determining and delimiting the direction of character evolution in this context. We studied displacement in advertisement calls in two species of hylid frogs from allopatric and sympatric populations, both of which call with similar frequencies but differ substantially in temporal parameters.

Lizards may vary their reproductive strategies through varying sexual characters, body size, gonadal investment, and sperm traits.

Abstract:
Biological diversity results from speciation, which generally involves the splitting of an ancestral species into descendant species due to adaptation to different niches or the evolution of reproductive incompatibilities (Coyne and Orr 2004). The diverse flora and fauna of the world, including the native inhabitants of the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA), exist as a result of the speciation process. The central role speciation plays in generating biological diversity imbues importance to our understanding of this process. The general importance of a thorough understanding of speciation is ampl

Abstract:
We studied reproductive characters of a population of the tortoise Testudo h. hermanni in the Plaine des Maures (Var), and compared these to another population in southern France and to T.h. boettgeri in Greece. Clutch characters, which are measures of total reproductive investment, showed no differences between subspecies or sites after body size correction by ANCOVA. Egg characters, which measure the division of this investment among offspring, did vary significantly among both subspecies and sites after correcting for body mass. The presence of such local variation should discourage relocat

Entertainment-education programs promote health and development goals throughout the world. This study looks specifically at a radio serial drama designed to provide behavioral role models for HIV prevention and reproductive health in Botswana as part of the behavior-change strategy, Modeling and Reinforcement to Combat HIV/AIDS (MARCH). The purpose of this qualitative study is to elucidate regular listeners' involvement and identification with three different types of fictional characters in the drama. Regular listeners were interviewed using a semi-structured guide; 31 interviews were analyz

Abstract:
SummaryNon-linear offspring-parent regressions and heritabilities are expected for characters showing genetic asymmetry due to directional dominance and/or asymmetrical gene frequencies. Since reproductive fitness characters exhibit these characteristics, they should show consistently nonlinear heritabilities, with greater heritabilities in the direction of lower fitness. As a consequence, responses to bi-directional selection on fitness traits should be asymmetrical in the same direction. This prediction has been tested by an analysis of published bi-directional selection experiments for repr

Background and aims – <i>Bulbophyllum</i>, the largest genus in Orchidaceae, exhibits a diverse morphology in both reproductive and vegetative characters. While trait diversity and evolution has been extensively studied in Malagasy species and within the <i>Cirrhopetalum</i> alliance clade, the evolution of reproductive and vegetative characters at the whole level of the Asian clade remains largely unexplored. Material and methods – We reconstructed the phylogeny of approximately 11% of all Asian <i>Bulbophyllum</i> species using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood estimation based on nu

Genetic diversity and inheritance of the traits determine the success of the breeding program. Analysis of genetic variability and heritability assist breeders to decide a strategy and appropriate selection criteria that will be used to repair the desired character. The purpose of this study was to obtain information about genetic diversity, heritability and correlation of nine agronomic characters of soybean varieties. The materials were 16 soybean varieties that arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that days to flowering, number of branches per pl

Selection indices for yield were constructed on the basis of five different criteria (Viz, ha, G.A., rg, h-rg and P values) based on 1-9 characters using 30 varieties of greengram (Vigna radiata Wilczek,). Expected genetic gain in yield due to the indices were computed and their efficiency over direct selection for yield per se was assessed. In all the five groups the efficiency of the indices increased gradually with addition of characters to the indices, Combined direct and indirect selection was found to be more effective than indirect selection alone.

Abstract:
Two alternative hypotheses may explain the origin of Astrophytum coahuilense. One hypothesis is that A. coahuilense is an ancient diploid hybrid derived from interbreeding between A. capricorne and A. myriostigma. An alternative is that A. coahuilense arose via allopatric speciation and its similarity to A. myriostigma in vegetative characters is due to convergent evolution. The two hypotheses are tested, applying univariate analysis and Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling analysis to morphological datasets.

The seeds of the plant were treated chemical mutagens with sodium azide in concentration of 0.5%, 0.1%, 1.5% and 2% respectively. The growth features was observed at an interval of one week to 7th week of their growth period. The data showed that seed germination value and lethality of plants were 75 and 80%, respectively and highest in control plants. The vegetative growth parameters such as stem length, root length, stem diameter and root diameter was highest at 2%
