Our research group has bred corals able to better survive marine heatwaves. Our work, now published in Nature Communications, shows that it is possible to improve coral heat tolerance even within a ...

A new study has shown that selective breeding can lead to a modest rise in coral heat tolerance. Led by experts at Newcastle University’s Coralassist Lab, the study documents the world’s first effort ...

Maize is a globally cultivated staple crop and one of the most successful examples of heterosis utilization in food production. The development of elite inbred lines is critical for breeding hybrid ...

Unnatural selection has bred life in all shapes and sizes, and a globe-spanning team of scientists says the same practice might help save Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef. Mining billionaire Andrew ...

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. We’ve moulded some of them to have large protruding eyes, sloping backs and shortened legs through selective breeding. But dogs aren’t the only animals who have ...

Animal reproduction and breeding encompasses the full spectrum of natural, assisted and genetic processes that underpin the perpetuation, improvement and conservation of species across diverse taxa.
