The mark of the Indian still inhabits our body: On ethics and disciplining in South American archaeology
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2015)
Constructed as “nonwhite others,” we were racialized by the same alterity-producing dialectic that established Europe as the center, or as the guiding epistemic notion, for the world. This “non-white is not necessarily ...
Early Arrival and Climatically-Linked Geographic Expansion of New World Monkeys from Tiny African Ancestors
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01)
New World Monkeys (NWM) (platyrrhines) are one of the most diverse groups of primates, occupying today a wide range of ecosystems in the American tropics and exhibiting large variations in ecology, morphology, and behavior. ...
Liverwort oil bodies: diversity, biochemistry, and molecular cell biology of the earliest secretory structure of land plants
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04)
Liverworts are known for their large chemical diversity. Much of this diversity is synthesized and enclosed within the oil bodies (OB), a synapomorphy of the lineage. OB contain the biosynthetic enzymes to produce and store ...
Diversity and evolution of macrohabitat use, body size and morphology in a monophyletic group of Neotropical pitvipers (Bothrops)
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-08-01)
The Neotropical pitviper genus Bothrops comprises about 40 species, which occur in all main ecosystems of cis-Andean South America. We explored the relationships of body size and form (tail length and stoutness) with ...

Evolutionary roles of dietary fiber in succeeding metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its responses to a lifestyle modification program: A Brazilian community-based study
(2015-01-01)
Background: It is thought that our genomic heritage from late Paleolithic man,40,000-100,000 years ago, influenced not only our phenotype, but also our physiological functions. Our ancestors, for approximately 84,000 ...
Hypophysis Size Evolution in Chiroptera
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2019-05-05)
The hypophysis influences biological functions in mammals at various levels, and its volumetric variation in Chiroptera is recently well known. We explored the relation of the hypophysis size as a whole (Hyp) and its ...
A nested case-control study on dietary fat consumption and the risk for gallstone disease
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-06)
Background: Gallstone disease (GD) incidence and prevalence rates differ between populations. Diet and lifestyle may be involved in GD development. To our knowledge, no study to date has evaluated quantitative data on diet ...
