The conclusion was clear: among primates, monogamy was always preceded by one thing and one thing only: infanticide by males. Here, we report the video-captured infanticide on a grown nestling at 17 days after hatching by a mated male in a sparse population of Japanese Bam Swallow (Hirundo rustica gutturalis).
We frequently create a class to do nothing but hold data. In such a class some standard functionality is often mechanically derivable from the data. In Kotlin, this is called a data class and is marked as data: data class User(val name: String, val age: Int)
A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a region of DNA that is associated with a particular phenotypic trait. These QTLs are often found on different chromosomes. Knowing the number of QTLs that explains variation in the phenotypic trait tells us about the genetic architecture of a trait.he principle for QTL mapping is: 1) The Likelihood can be calculated for a given set of parameters (particularly QTL effect and QTL position) given the observed data on phenotypes and marker genotypes. 2) The estimates for the parameters are those where the likelihood are highest.
