In 2007, FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization, from the United Nations) initiated the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) to reduce further loss of genetic diversity in farm animals. One of the key issues mentioned is to ident ...
Urbanization leads to fragmentation, degradation or loss of natural environments and reduces connectivity between remaining habitat patches. This affects dispersal and establishment of species and their genes and might have adverse effects on biodiversity ...
Livestock conservation is changing rapidly in light of policy developments, climate change and diversifying market demands. The last decade has seen a step change in technology and analytical approaches available to define and manage Farm Animal Genetic Re ...
This paper presents MEU (http://meu.epfl.ch) project results: a new GIS-centric web application for energy management and planning of existing or new urban zones. The project has been carried out with the collaboration of four Western Switzerland cities an ...
In 2007, FAO initiated the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) to reduce further loss of genetic diversity in farm animals. One of the key issues mentioned is to identify endangered breeds to support conservation prioritization ...
In 2008, FAO and WAAP published a report on production environment descriptors for animal genetic resources. One of the main conclusions was that it was necessary to quickly systematize the recording of breeds’ geographical coordinates worldwide in order t ...
Background During the past decades, neutral DNA markers have been extensively employed to study demography, population genetics and structure in livestock, but less interest has been devoted to the evaluation of livestock adaptive potential through the ide ...
The Klingnau reservoir, situated in north Switzerland, suffers from sedimentation in its left enlargement. The dam is placed in the Aare River about 1 km upstream of its confluence with the Rhine. Due to natural conservation and flood protection reasons, i ...
GIS have been involved in a central and strategic way in several research projects dedicated to the conservation of livestock genetic resources. They have a structural and federative role to play on the one hand, and an analytical role on the other. GIS ar ...
The synthesis and full characterization of a well-defined silica-supported :Si-O-W(Me)(5) species is reported. Under an inert atmosphere, it is a stable material at moderate temperature, whereas the homoleptic parent complex decomposes above -20 degrees C, ...
