| Annual genetic trends and selection differentials for 305-day milk yield (305MY), age at first calving (AFC), and first calving interval (FCI) were estimated by four selection paths [sires of bulls (SB), dams of bulls (DB), sires of cows (SC), and dams of cows (DC)] for Girolando dairy cattle in Brazil. A total of 12,739 lactation records were obtained from the Brazilian Girolando Breeders Association with cows calving in the period from 2000 to 2011. Two periods were involved: the first, from 1979 to 1996, corresponding to the formation and expansion of the herd, and second, from 1997 to 2007, characterized by the implementation of the breeding program of the Girolando breed. The whole period from 1979 to 2007 was also considered. The Wombat program was... |

| Organisms can modify their surrounding environment, but whether these changes are large enough to feed back and alter their evolutionary trajectories is not well understood, particularly in wild populations. Here we show that nutrient pulses from decomposing Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parents alter selection pressures on their offspring with important consequences for their phenotypic and genetic diversity. We found a strong survival advantage to larger eggs and faster juvenile metabolic rates in streams lacking carcasses but not in streams containing this parental nutrient input. Differences in selection intensities led to significant phenotypic divergence in these two traits among stream types. Stronger selection in streams with low parental nutrient... |
