Non-native conditions favor non-native populations of invasive plant: demographic consequences of seed size variation?
(Wiley, 2013-04)
Trait differences between native and non-native populations may explain the greater abundance and impact of some organisms in their non-native ranges than in their native ranges. Here, we conducted reciprocal common gardens ...
History of the native population of South America
(Uitgeverij Acco, 2016)
The main research on the historical demography of the native populations in South America was developed in the late 1970s, in a context of new questions and theories on Andean history (Murra 1975; Sánchez Albornoz 1978; ...
Germination responses of an invasive species in native and non-native ranges
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-04)
Studying germination in the native and non-native range of a species can provide unique insights into processes of range expansion and adaptation; however, traits related to germination have rarely been compared between ...
Population genetics of PDE4B (Phosphodiesterase-4B) in neglected native americans: implications for cancer pharmacogenetics.
(Wiley, 2022)
PDE4B (phosphodiesterase-4B) has an important role in cancer and in pharmacology of some disorders, such as inflammatory diseases. Remarkably in Native Americans, PDE4B variants are associated with acute lymphoblastic ...
Germination performance of native and non-native Ulmus pumila populations
(Pensoft Publishers, 2012-12)
Germination is a crucial step for invasive plants to extend their distribution under different environmental conditions in a new range. Therefore, information on germination characteristics of invasive plant species provides ...
Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Lychnophora pinaster: a study for the conservation of a native medicinal plant
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-05-01)
Lychnophora pinaster Mart. (Asteraceae) is a Brazilian medicinal plant, extensively employed in popular medicine as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and healing agent. Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed ...
Demographic history and selection at HLA loci in Native Americans
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
The American continent was the last to be occupied by modern humans, and native populations bear the marks of recent expansions, bottlenecks, natural selection, and population substructure. Here we investigate how this ...
Human-SARS-CoV-2 interactome and human genetic diversity: TMPRSS2-rs2070788, associated with severe influenza, and its population genetics caveats in Native Americans
(Brazilian Society of Genetics, 2021)
For human/SARS-CoV-2 interactome genes ACE2, TMPRSS2 and BSG, there is a convincing evidence of association in Asians with influenza-induced SARS for TMPRSS2-rs2070788, tag-SNP of the eQTL rs383510. This case illustrates ...
How natural selection shapes genetic differentiation in the MHC region: A case study with Native Americans
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) loci are extremely well documented targets of balancing selection, yet few studies have explored how selection affects population differentiation at these loci. In the present study we ...
Non-native populations of an invasive tree outperform their native conspecifics
(Oxford University Press, 2016-10-13)
Introduced plants often face new environmental conditions in their non-native ranges. To become invasive, they need to overcome several biotic and abiotic filters that may trigger adaptive changes in life-history traits, ...
