Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the entire genome are needed to enable molecular breeding efforts such as genome wide association studies, fine mapping, genomic selection and marker-assisted selection in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] and related Prunus species, only a limited number of genetic...

This study examined water scarcity and vulnerability in Quintana Roo, along the northern Caribbean coast of Mexico where rapid growth of tourism in the past 40 years has limited the ability of rural and urban communities to obtain safe, reliable, and equitable access to water services and critical water infrastructure...
Grain yield and grain protein are often negatively associated in
wheat. When yield increases and grain protein decreases, there can be
an adverse effect on the milling and baking quality if the desired end
product is bread flour. It has been suggested that this inverse
association is the result of...
A negative relation between grain protein content and
grain yield is frequently observed in wheat (Triticum
aestivum L. em Thell) i.e. as grain yield increases, grain
protein decreases. It has been suggested that the inverse
relation between grain yield and protein is in part the
result of developing high yielding...
Disturbance and microclimate interact to play a central role influencing the composition and structure of plant communities. In this thesis, I examined plant community composition and structure twenty years after high severity wildfires with and without post-fire management (salvage logging, fuel treatment, tree planting, and shrub release) under contrasting microclimatic...
To date, the use of oceanographic data in fisheries management has been limited by the scarcity and the difficulty of accessing complete oceanographic datasets. Consequently, fish stocks are managed with limited knowledge about the habitat where fish live and incomplete understanding of what oceanographic conditions affect their populations. With the...
Bio-economic models are increasingly used to provide scientific advice in
fisheries management integrating both biological and socio-economic
considerations. In this context it becomes important to evaluate how
different recovery scenarios will influence the future situation for the
fishing fleets, particularly through the investment/disinvestment decisions
of fishing capacity.
In this paper,...
Eco-labels have been developed to face the difficulties faced by States in managing fisheries. They promote the voluntary adoption of sustainable practices, through market differentiation of sustainably produced items. In fisheries, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is the most commonly used eco-label. The label is presumed to increase the social and...
