The architecture of adaptation to novel environments (ARCHADAPT)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2018,
One of the central goals in evolutionary biology is to understand adaptation. Experimental evolution represents a highly promising approach to study adaptation. In this proposal, a freshly collected D. simulans population will be allowed to adapt to laboratory conditions under two different temperature regimes: hot (27°C) and cold (18°C). The trajectories of adaptation to these novel environments ...

Understanding the Proximate Mechanisms of Canine Cooperation (CanCoop)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,
Although it is clear that human collaborative skills are exceptional, elucidating similarities and differences of proximate processes underlying cooperative interactions between non-primate and primate taxa may have important implications for our understanding of cooperation in humans and non human-animals via a profound knowledge of 1) socio-cognitive skills as adaptations to specific environment ...

A whole-systems approach to optimising feed efficiency and reducing the ecological footprint of monogastrics (ECO-FCE)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
ECO-FCE’s objective is to firstly understand the interactions within the monogastric biological system which create diversity, optimise feed use efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen and phosphorus excretion, whilst not adversely affecting animal health, welfare or product quality. Secondly, ECO-FCE will develop industry-ready tools which will facilitate the selection of breedin ...

Optimisation of early reproductive success in dairy cattle through the definition of new traits and improved reproductive biotechnology (FECUND)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
"Good fertility is essential for the sustainability of livestock production. Of all livestock sectors, fertility of dairy cattle is raising the greatest cause for concern. Cow fertility has declined, particularly in Holstein cattle, from 80% pregnancy to first service 20 years ago to less than 40% today. Poor fertility is one of the main reasons for early culling, such that modern dairy cows compl ...

The impact of climatic and environmental factors on personal ultraviolet radiation exposure and human health (ICEPURE)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2013,
We will determine the adverse and beneficial health effects of personal UVR exposure and their relationships with climatic and environmental factors that modify the solar UVR spectrum. Date and time stamped personal electronic wristwatch dosimeters will be worn to measure individual UVR exposure over extended periods. Satellite and ground station data will be gathered to establish terrestrial UVR ...
