Species richness, but not phylogenetic diversity, influences community biomass production and temporal stability in a re-examination of 16 grassland biodiversity studies
(Wiley, 2015-02)
Hundreds of experiments have now manipulated species richness of various groups of organisms and examined how this aspect of biological diversity influences ecosystem functioning. Ecologists have recently expanded this ...
The humerus of South American caviomorph rodents: Shape, function and size in a phylogenetic context
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-06)
South American caviomorph rodents comprise four major lineages encompassing wide taxonomic and ecological diversity, but the morphological diversity of their postcranial skeleton has not been thoroughly explored using ...
Nucleotide and phylogenetic analysis of human papillomavirus types 6 and 11 isolated from recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in Brazil
(2013-06-01)
There are few studies about the distribution of natural molecular variants of low-risk HPVs. Our aim was to evaluate the E6 early gene variability among HPV-6 and HPV-11 isolates detected in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis ...
The role of learning, acoustic similarity and phylogenetic relatedness in the recognition of distress calls in birds
(2021-05)
Many groups of vertebrates produce distress calls when attacked by predators as a last attempt to survive. However, few studies investigate whether recognition of distress calls involves learning or acoustic similarity to ...
Soil bacterial and fungal community structure of a rice monoculture and rice-pasture rotation systems
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Rice monoculture has been the main rice-cropping system for several years. Rice-pasture rotation system has raised in recent years as an alternative, as this practice not only increases rice yield but also adds value through ...
PCCA: a program for phylogenetic canonical correlation analysis
Summary: PCCA (phylogenetic canonical correlation analysis) is a new program for canonical correlation analysis of multivariate, continuously valued data from biological species. Canonical correlation analysis is a technique ...
Mitogenome phylogenetics: variation in topologies, divergence dates,and mutation rates among analysis partitions
(UniandesMaestría en Ciencias BiológicasFacultad de CienciasDepartamento de Biología, 2011)
Mitochondrial genomes are becoming more available thanks to recent technological advances in molecular biology. Its popularity as the tool of choice for phylogenetic analyses in a variety of taxa is increasing, and has ...
