Abstract Effective management decisions rely on accurate insights into species’ population structure, with high-quality genetic material being essential. Stranded cetaceans are an important source of samples, but meeti...

Background: Small monomeric GTPases act as molecular switches in several processes that involve polar cell growth, participating mainly in vesicle trafficking and cytoskeleton rearrangements. This gene superfamily has la...

Stylosanthes hippocampoides, a native legume forage species, was first studied by our research team in 2016 to assess genetic variability in natural populations in northeastern Argentina. Recurrent fires in the following...

Abstract The systematics of blind mole rats (Spalacinae), a group of highly specialized subterranean rodents, remain a subject of debate. Within the genus Spalax, the greater blind mole rat (Spalax microphthalmus...

Neosporosis is an important cause of abortion in cattle and information on their genetics and host parasite relationships are desirable. Neospora caninum samples obtained from 24 bovine fetuses from Minas Gerais, were ge...

Documenting the presence and abundance of the neotropical mammals is the first step for understanding their population ecology, behavior and genetic dynamics in designing conservation plans. The combination of field rese...

Muskox (Ovibos moschatus, Zimmermann 1780), or Umingmak (in Inuktitut), is a critical component of the terrestrial Arctic ecosystem. In many regions, muskoxen are key to Inuit food security and important to cultural iden...

Machaerium villosum is an important tree species from Southeastern Brazil. We report hereby 10 new microsatellite markers to investigate the structure and genetic diversity of this species. Ninety-seven alleles were dete...

The population structure of the Murciano-Granadina breed was determined using 25 microsatellites from 266 goats of seven populations. The results of the genetic differentiation analysis showed that it is possible to diff...

ABSTRACT We present the taxonomic treatment of the fern family Blechnaceae for the Flora of Viçosa, based on typology, morphology, and field observations. We report the occurrence of seven species and two putative hybri...

ABSTRACT The genusBryconcomprises fish species of significant socioeconomic and biological importance in Brazil. Despite that, the genetic knowledge about these species is scarce, especially regardingBrycon falcatus. Thu...

Abstract Background Comparative studies of mitochondrial genomes can assist in determining evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships. In the Ceratocystidaceae fungal family, mitochondrial genomes from only two genera a...

Abstract Background Venom cocktails of cone snails are characterized by their dynamic composition and the rapid evolution of toxin-encoding genes due to various selective pressures. The integration of comparative genomic...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of plant development, physiology, and environmental stress adaptation. Despite exhibiting limited primary sequence conservation across the plant kingdom, ...
