The Genetic Diversity of the Americas
(Annual Reviews, 2017)
The history of the Americas involved the encounter of millions of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans. A variable admixture of these three continental groups has taken place throughout the continent, influenced by ...
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 ...
Epidemic history of Hepatitis C virus in Brazil
(Elsevier, 2017)
Population genetic structure and demographic history of the scallop Argopecten purpuratus from Peru and Northern Chile: Implications for management and conservation of natural beds
(Springer, 2020-01-21)
The scallop Argopecten purpuratus is a heavily exploited resource along the coasts of Peru and north-central Chile, especially after El Niño events, when the species undergoes high increases in abundance. Little is known ...
Effects of contrasting demographic histories on selection at major histocompatibility complex loci in two sympatric species of tuco-tucos (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-02)
To explore the impact of history on selection and genetic structure at functional loci, we compared patterns of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) variability in two sympatric species of ctenomyid rodents with different ...
Genetic legacy of state centralization in the Kuba Kingdom of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019)
Few phenomena have had as profound or long-lasting consequences in human history as the emergence of large-scale centralized states in the place of smaller scale and more local societies. This study examines a fundamental, ...
Reconstructing Native American population history
(Springer Nature, 2012)
The peopling of the Americas has been the subject of extensive genetic, archaeological and linguistic research; however, central questions remain unresolved. One contentious issue is whether the settlement occurred by means ...
Cryptic lineages and Pleistocene population expansion in a Brazilian Cerrado frog
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-02-01)
Diversification of South American species endemic to open habitats has been attributed to both Tertiary events and Pleistocene climatic fluctuations. Nonetheless, phylogeographical studies of taxa in these regions are few, ...
