Local Host Adaptation and Use of a Novel Host in the Seed Beetle Megacerus eulophus
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Spatial variation in host plant availability may lead to specialization in host use and local host adaptation in herbivorous insects, which may involve a cost in performance on other hosts. We studied two geographically ...
Vulnerability and adaptive capacity of community food systems in the Peruvian Amazon: a case study from Panaillo
(Springer, 2015)
Rainfall variability and related hydrological disasters are serious threats to agricultural production in developing countries. Since projections of climate change indicate an increase in the frequency and intensity of ...
‘Q-Storming’ to identify challenges and opportunities for integrating health and climate adaptation measures in Africa
(Elsevier, 2023)
Introduction: Climate factors influence the state of human health and wellbeing. Climate-related threats are particularly being experienced by vulnerable populations in Africa. A Question (Q)-Storming session was convened ...
Enhancing adaptive capacity to climate change: The case of smallholder farmers in the Brazilian semi-arid region
(Elsevier B.V., 2010-12-01)
Climate change is one of the main challenges faced by mankind in this century. Although developing countries have little historical responsibility for climate change, they are likely to be most affected by it since they ...
Evidence for temporal population replacement and the signature of ecological adaptation in a major Neotropical malaria vector in Amazonian Peru
(BioMed Central, 2015)
The major Neotropical malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi, was reintroduced into the Iquitos, Loreto, Peru area during the early 1990s, where it displaced other anophelines and caused a major malaria epidemic. Since then, ...
A critical analysis of national plans for climate adaptation for health in South America
(Elsevier, 2023)
Climate adaptation measures are critical for protecting human health. National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and National Communications (NCs) play a crucial role in helping countries ...
Environmental heterogeneity leads to higher plasticity in dry-edge populations of a semi-arid Chilean shrub: insights into climate change responses
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
Interannual variability in climatic conditions should be taken into account in climate change studies in semi-arid ecosystems. It may determine differentiation in phenotypic plasticity among populations, with populations ...
Contrasting patterns of selection between MHC I and II across populations of Humboldt and Magellanic penguins
(Wiley, 2016)
The evolutionary and adaptive potential of populations or species facing an emerging infectious disease depends on their genetic diversity in genes, such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In birds, MHC class ...
Population genetic structure of Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae from rice in Latin America and its adaptive potential to emerge as a pathogen on urochloa pastures
(2017-01-01)
The fungus Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae is an important pathogen that causes the aggregated sheath spot disease on rice. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure of rice-adapted populations of R. oryzaesativae ...
Brazilian Portuguese versions and cross-cultural adaptation of two instruments to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in the Brazilian population
