The impact of global climate change on genetic diversity within populations and species
Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Cryobanking of farm animal gametes and embryos as a means of conserving livestock genetics
L Mara, S Casu, A Carta, M Dattena - Animal Reproduction Science, 2013 - Elsevier
In the last few decades, farm animal genetic diversity has rapidly declined, mainly due to
changing market demands and intensification of agriculture. But, since the removal of single …
