The domestic goat is one of the five most important livestock species worldwide and plays an important role in the livelihood of a large proportion of small and marginal farmers and landless shepherds. To serve as a rational basis for the conservation of g ...
Understanding genetic basis of adaptation is of key importance, especially to insure food supply for present and future populations. Cultivated plants and livestock animals are subjected to high selection pressure due to climate change, increasing food nee ...
Background and Aims: Knowledge on how climate-induced range shifts might affect natural selection is crucial to understand the evolution of species range. Methods: Using historical demographic perspectives gathered from regional-scale phylogeography on the ...
In its natural framework, genetic information is embedded within a geographic context. Plants and animals are directly influenced by the specific characteristics of their surrounding environment. Therefore, spatial information is a potentially important el ...
The R package bclust is useful for clustering high-dimensional continuous data. The package uses a parametric spike-and-slab Bayesian model to downweight the effect of noise variables and to quantify the importance of each variable in agglomerative cluster ...
Large shareholders may play an important role for firm performance and policies, but identifying this empirically presents a challenge due to the endogeneity of ownership structures. We develop and test an empirical framework that allows us to separate sel ...
The Steady State variants of the Multi-Objective Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (SS-MO-CMA-ES) generate one offspring from a uniformly selected parent. Some other parental selection operators for SS-MO-CMA-ES are investigated in this paper ...
The current thesis constitutes an interdisciplinary approach of detecting a selection pressure driven by the environment examining the contribution of Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis in the field of Landscape Genetics. Even though several studies have ...
We present experimental findings from a dual eye-tracking study that illustrate the effect of different ways of sharing se- lection in remote pair-programming scenario. Forty pairs of engineering students had to complete several program under- standing tas ...
Researchers working in the field of global connectivity analysis using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can count on a wide selection of software packages for processing their data, with methods ranging from the reconstruction of the local intra- ...
