Phenotypic diversity in female body shape is related to reproductive potential in Tupinambis merianae lizards
(Finnish Zoological Botanical Publishing Board, 2015-06)
A major goal in evolutionary biology is to determine the mechanisms responsible for maintaining phenotypic variation. Species that have evolved intersexual differences provide an opportunity to increase our understanding ...
Admixture in Latin America: Geographic Structure, Phenotypic Diversity and Self-Perception of Ancestry Based on 7,342 Individuals
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
The current genetic makeup of Latin America has been shaped by a history of extensive admixture between Africans, Europeans and Native Americans, a process taking place within the context of extensive geographic and social ...
A computer vision approach to quantify leaf anatomical plasticity: A case study on gochnatia polymorpha (less.) cabrera
(2013-05-01)
Inferences about leaf anatomical characteristics had largely been made by manually measuring diverse leaf regions, such as cuticle, epidermis and parenchyma to evaluate differences caused by environmental variables. Here ...
Characterization of Fusarium graminearum isolates recovered from wheat samples from Argentina by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy: Phenotypic diversity and detection of specific markers of aggressiveness
(Elsevier Science, 2017-03)
Fusarium graminearum is the primary causal agent of Fusarium head blight of wheat in Argentina. This disease affects crop yields and grain quality also reducing the wheat end-use, and causing mycotoxin contamination. The ...
Phenotypic changes and small mammal impoverishment on a Brazilian Atlantic Forest Island
(2013-02-01)
Faunal impoverishment and distorted species compositions are common phenomena in oceanic islands; however, many land-bridge islands are poorly inventoried, especially in the Neotropics. We sampled a small mammal community ...
Genetic and phenotypic variation, dispersal limitation and reproductive success in the invasive herb Eschscholzia californica along an elevation gradient in central Chile
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Background: Reductions of genetic diversity and phenotypic changes in invasive plants are often observed to occur at high elevations. Genetic/phenotypic changes of invasive plants along elevation help to understand mechanisms ...
Reduced soybean photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency associated with evolutionary genetic bottlenecks
(Csiro Publishing, 2016-08)
Soybean has a narrow genetic base thought to limit future yield genetic gains. However, there is no evidence whether this reduction in genetic diversity correlates with diversity loss for any yield trait. We tested how ...
Genotypic diversity and phenotypic traits of Streptococcus mutans isolates and their relation to severity of early childhood caries
(2017-07-14)
Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is an aggressive condition that can affect teeth of young children. This study aimed to evaluate genotypic diversity and phenotypic traits of S. mutans isolated from dental biofilms ...
