Comparative genomic analysis of Leishmania (Viannia) peruviana and Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis
(BioMed Central, 2015)
BACKGROUND: The Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis complex is responsible for most cases of New World tegumentary leishmaniasis. This complex includes two closely related species but with different geographic distribution ...
Genetic variability of Taenia solium cysticerci recovered from experimentally infected pigs and from naturally infected pigs using microsatellite markers
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
The adult Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, usually lives as a single worm in the small intestine of humans, its only known definitive host. Mechanisms of genetic variation in T. solium are poorly understood. Using three ...
Pathotype and SSR variation in Phytophthora sojae from the Argentinean Pampas
(Wiley, 2020-04)
Genetic variation in Phytophthora sojae was compared between northern (NPS) and southern (SPS) Pampeana sub‐regions, in the core soya bean region of Argentina. Ninety‐three isolates from plants and soil were evaluated in ...
Genetic variation for tolerance to high temperatures in a population of Drosophila melanogaster
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-10)
The range of thermal tolerance is one of the main factors influencing the geographic distribution of species. Climate change projections predict increases in average and extreme temperatures over the coming decades; hence, ...
Genetic variation and heteroplasmy of Varroa destructor inferred from ND4 mtDNA sequences
(Springer, 2020-02)
Varroa destructor, a parasitic mite of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is a serious threat to colonies and beekeeping worldwide. Population genetics studies of the mite have provided information on two mitochondrial ...
Recombination in pe/ppe genes contributes to genetic variation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages
(BioMed Central, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Approximately 10% of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome is made up of two families of genes that are poorly characterized due to their high GC content and highly repetitive nature. The PE and PPE families ...
Ancient female philopatry, asymmetric male gene flow, and synchronous population expansion support the influence of climatic oscillations on the evolution of South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens)
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
The South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) is widely distributed along the southern Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America with a history of significant commercial exploitation. We aimed to evaluate the population ...
Study of Natural Genetic Variation in Early Fitness Traits Reveals Decoupling Between Larval and Pupal Developmental Time in Drosophila melanogaster
(Springer, 2018-12)
Characterizing the relationships between genotype and phenotype for developmental adaptive traits is essential to understand the evolutionary dynamics underlying biodiversity. In holometabolous insects, the time to reach ...
Genetic variability of Araucaria angustifolia in the Argentinean Parana Forest and implications for management and conservation
(2018-08)
The main forces shaping genetic variability of woody species in fragmented forest are the geographical distribution and demographic history of populations. We conducted molecular analyses to evaluate how these factors have ...
Genetic variation in the reduction of attractive floral traits of an annual tarweed in response to drought and apical damage
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Foliar herbivory and water stress may affect floral traits attractive to pollinators. Plant genotypes may differ in their responses to the interplay between these factors, and evolution of phenotypic plasticity could be ...
