Probing Evolutionary Patterns in Neotropical Birds through DNA Barcodes
(Public Library of Science, 2009-02)
Background: The Neotropical avifauna is more diverse than that of any other biogeographic region, but our understanding of patterns of regional divergence is limited. Critical examination of this issue is currently constrained ...
Molecular Population Genetics and Evolution of the Chagas’ Disease Vector Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013-06)
Triatoma infestans (Klug) is the main vector of Chagas’ disease in the Southern Cone of Latin America between the latitudes 10° S and 46° S. The long-term effectiveness of the control campaigns is greatly dependent upon ...
Mitochondrial dysfunction affects chloroplast functions
(Landes Bioscience, 2011)
The transcriptomic response of A9:u-ATP9 and apetala3:u-ATP9 lines carrying a mitochondrial dysfunction in flower tissues has been characterized. Both lines showed an alteration in the transcription of several genes involved ...
Genetic structure of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
In the present study, we analysed the genetic structure of Triatoma infestans populations with a phylogeographical approach using sequences of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (ND5) and the nuclear elongation ...
The invasion of Patagonia by Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): Inferences from mitochondrial DNA patterns
(Springer, 2012-11)
The Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, which was introduced deliberately in Chile four decades ago for sport fishing and aquaculture, represents a rare example of a successful translocation of an anadromous Pacific ...
The multiple applications of DNA barcodes in avian evolutionary studies
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2016-12)
DNA barcodes of birds are currently available for 41% of known species and for many different geographic areas; therefore, they are a rich data source to answer evolutionary questions. We review studies that have used DNA ...
Genetic admixture despite ecological segregation in a North African sparrow hybrid zone (Aves, Passeriformes, Passer domesticus × Passer hispaniolensis)
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Under different environmental conditions, hybridization between the same species might result in different patterns of genetic admixture. Particularly, species pairs with large distribution ranges and long evolutionary ...
Ixodes chilensis Kohls, 1956 (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae): re-description of the female, description of the nymph, and phylogenetic position inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences of the 16S rRNA gene
(2018-08-28)
This paper provides a re-description of the female and a description of the nymph of Ixodes chilensis Kohls, 1956. Additionally, the phylogenetic position of the species of Ixodes Latreille, 1796 belonging to the subgenus ...
Evolution of Dendrocolaptes platyrostris (Aves: Furnariidae) between the South American open vegetation corridor and the Atlantic forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-08)
The open vegetation corridor of South America is a region dominated by savanna biomes. It contains forests (i.e. riverine forests) that may act as corridors for rainforest specialists between the open vegetation corridor ...
Inhibition of mitochondrial fission by Drp-1 blockade by short-term leptin and Mdivi-1 treatment improves white adipose tissue abnormalities in obesity and diabetes
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-12-06)
Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes are chronic diseases characterized by insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction and morphological abnormalities. Objective: We have investigated if dysregulation of mitochondrial ...
