Contemporary and historic factors influence differently genetic differentiation and diversity in a tropical palm
(Heredity, 2015)
Population genetics theory predicts loss in genetic variability because of drift and inbreeding in isolated plant populations; however, it has been argued that long-distance pollination and seed dispersal may be able to ...
Echoes of a distant time: effects of historical processes on contemporary genetic patterns in Galaxias platei in Patagonia
(2015)
Interpreting the genetic structure of a metapopulation as the outcome of gene flow over a variety of timescales is essential for the proper understanding of how changes in landscape affect biological connectivity. Here we ...
Genetic population structure of an anchialine shrimp, Metabetaeus lohena (Crustacea: Alpheidae), in the Hawaiian Islands
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2010)
The key role of the largest extant Neotropical frugivore (Tapirus terrestris) in promoting admixture of plant genotypes across the landscape
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016)
The historical and contemporary loss of large-bodied frugivores has disrupted many plant-disperser mutualisms, with potentially pro- found consequences for plants. Although several aspects of seed dispersal by megafrugivores ...
Genetic structuring among populations of the great egret, Ardea alba egretta, in major Brazilian wetlands
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2016-04)
Waterbirds are increasingly affected by climate change and human disturbances to the wetlands on which they roost, forage and breed. The evolutionary response of populations to such changes is influenced by genetic variability ...
Insights into the evolution and dispersion of pyrethroid resistance among sylvatic Andean Triatoma infestans from Bolivia
(Elsevier Science, 2021-06)
Sylvatic populations of Triatoma infestans represent a challenge to Chagas disease control as they are not targeted by vector control activities and may play a key role in post-spraying house re-infestation. Understanding ...
Population genetic structure and historical dispersal patterns in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys “chasiquensis” from the southeastern Pampas region, Argentina
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2016-05)
Gene flow plays an essential role in the evolutionary history of the organisms and helps to identify those historical landscape features that most likely had affected the dispersal patterns. In this work, we assess, using ...
