Ecological niche modelling for delineating livestock ecotypes and exploring environmental genomic adaptation: The example of Ethiopian village chicken por Vallejo Trujillo, Adriana, Kebede, Adebabay, Lozano Jaramillo, M., Dessie, Tadelle, Smith, Jacqueline, Hanotte, Olivier H., Gheyas, Almas A.

“…A few biological pathways were shared amongst most ecotypes and the genes involved showed functions important for scavenging chickens, e.g., neuronal development/processes, immune response, vision development, and learning. Genotype-environment association using redundancy analysis (RDA) allowed for correlating ∼33% of the SRs with major environmental drivers. …”

Using outcome trajectory evaluation to assess HarvestPlus’ contribution to the development of national biofortification breeding programs por Douthwaite, Boru, Johnson, Nancy L., Wyatt, Amanda

“…The paper also discusses the pros and cons of the OTE approach in terms of both methodological rigor and program learning. In particular, the fact that HarvestPlus is a long-running program allows us to reflect on how a “backward looking” approach such as OTE builds on and complements the more “forward looking,” theory of change-based approaches that informed HarvestPlus programming and evaluation during its earlier, highly-successful phases. …”
