Integrating genetics and suitability modelling to bolster climate change adaptation planning in Patagonian Nothofagus forests
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-10)
We investigated the impact of past changes in habitat suitability on the current patterns of genetic diversity of two southern beeches (Nothofagus nervosa and Nothofagus obliqua) in their eastern fragmented range in ...
Successful maintenance of a stingless bee population despite a severe genetic bottleneck
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Stingless bees play an important ecological role as pollinators of many wild plant species in the tropics and have significant potential for the pollination of agricultural crops. Nevertheless, conservation efforts as well ...
Selection strategies for dairy buffaloes: economic and genetic consequences
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-12-01)
Buffaloes are generally raised in Brazil without milk-recording programs, and thus without genetic evaluations of any of their traits. This study evaluated the economic impacts of three different selection strategies on ...
Revealing the consequences of male-biased trophy hunting on the maintenance of genetic variation
(Springer, 2015-06)
Demographic models accounting for operational sex ratio (OSR) show that male numbers can have a substantial influence on the dynamics of wild populations. We used the Cantabrian capercaillie, a forest bird, as a model to ...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome: Shared genetic basis of pathogenesis
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2016-11)
A growing body of evidence indicates that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) develops from a complex process that includes genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure. Regardless of whether it is the cause or ...
Clinical genetics and public policies: how should rare diseases be managed?
(HCPA/FAMED/UFRGS, 2014)
Birth defects: Risk factors and consequences
(2013-01-01)
Birth defects (BDs) or congenital anomalies include all structural and functional alterations in embryonic or fetal development resulting from genetic, environmental or unknown causes, which result in physical and/or mental ...
