Authors: T.Y.K. Kubota, A.M. Silva, J. Cambuim, A.A. Silva, S. Pupin, M.S. Silva, M.A. Moraes, M.L.T. Moraes and A.M. Sebbenn
Cariniana estrellensis is one of the largest trees found in Brazilian tropical forests. The species is typical of advanced stages of succession, characteristic of climax forests, and essential in genetic conservation and environmental restoration plans. In this study, we assessed Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and gen.. Read More»

Movement patterns and genetic diversity of wild and reintroduced common dormice, Muscardinus avellanarius
Authors: D.M. Naim, S. Telfer, S. Tatman, S. Bird, S.J. Kemp and P.C. Watts
Movement is an important life history trait that can have an impact on local adaptation, and other evolutionary phenomena. We used a combination of nestbox survey data and genetic techniques (genotyping at 10 microsatellite loci) to quantify patterns of movement in common dormice Muscardinus avellanarius at two distinct sites ..

Microsatellite markers for the Cabre�ºva tree, Myroxylon peruiferum (Fabaceae), an endangered medicinal species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Authors: K.D. Schwarcz, M.M. Bajay, C.M.T. Macrini, V.L.P. Salazar, A.P. Souza, J.B. Pinheiro, P.H.S. Brancalion, R.R. Rodrigues and M.I. Zucchi
The Cabreúva tree, Myroxylon peruiferum, is an endangered tropical species from Brazil used in forest restoration projects. It is known for its medicinal properties. Eleven microsatellite markers were developed for this species, from a microsatellite-enriched library. Nine of these markers, characterized in 30 .. Read More»

Non-invasive sex identification of the white-bellied sea eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) through genetic analysis of feathers
Authors: D.M. Naim, S.A.M. Nor and M.H. Baharuddin
The white-bellied sea eagle, Haliaeetus leucogaster, displays reversed sexual size dimorphism and is monomorphic for adult plumage coloration. Early attempts to identify sex in sexually monomorphic birds were based on morphological or chromosomal characters, but since avian W-specific DNA sequences were identified, PCR amplifi.. Read More»

Two genetic stocks of Steindachneridion melanodermatum living in sympatry in nature and genetic variability of wild parents and F1 generation
Authors: D.A. Matoso, M. da Silva, M.C.S. Cortinhas, M.M. Cestari, M.C. de Almeida, M.R. Vicari and R.F. Artoni
Steindachneridion melanodermatum is a large Brazilian catfish, highly prized for sport fishing and for its meat. Specimens of this species, both caught in nature from Iguacu River and F1 fish born in captivity, were analyzed with regard to patterns of RAPD molecular markers. Genetic similarity ranged from 0.57 to 0.95; two gro.. Read More»

Development of the first polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Roman snail Helix pomatia L., 1758 (Helicidae) and cross-species amplification within the genus Helix
Authors: A.M. Krapal, O.P. Popa, E.I. Iorgu, L.B. Cojocaru, A.F. Popa and L.O. Popa
The terrestrial snail Helix pomatia (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora: Helicidae) is one of the largest gastropod species in Europe. This species is strictly protected in some European Union countries; however, at the same time, it is also farmed and commercialized for human consumption. Here, we describe 11 microsatellite markers that are very useful in popul.. Read More»

Myrciaria dubia, an Amazonian fruit: population structure and its implications for germplasm conservation and genetic improvement
Authors: C.F. Nunes, T.A. Setotaw, M. Pasqual, E.A. Chagas, E.G. Santos,D.N. Santos, C.G.B. Lima, G.M.A. Can�§ado
Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazon tree that produces a tart fruit with high vitamin C content. It is probably the fruit with the highest vitamin C content among all Brazilian fruit crops and it can be used to supplement daily vitamin C dose. This property has attracted the attention of consumers and, consequently, encou.. Read More»

Brazil has about 300 Croton species in different types of vegetation. Croton tetradenius Baill., which is endemic to the Northeast region and predominant in the Caatinga vegetation, stands out among the several species of this genus. Considering the importance of knowing the genetic variability of a species, the objective of t.. Read More»

Isolation of new polymorphic microsatellite markers from the marbled rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus
Authors: H.W. Deng, Z.B. Li, G. Dai, Y. Yuan, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan and Y.S. Huang
The marbled rockfish, Sebastiscus marmoratus, is an important commercially near-shore fish that inhabits the beach rocky bottom from Japan to the South China Sea. Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from S. marmoratus and were used to identify polymorphisms in 30 samples from a wild population. The allele locus number ranged from 2 to 7. Po..

Exhaustive search for conservation networks of populations representing genetic diversity
Authors: J.A.F. Diniz-Filho1, J.V.B.P.L. Diniz2 and M.P.C. Telles3
Conservation strategies routinely use optimization methods to identify the smallest number of units required to represent a set of features that need to be conserved, including biomes, species, and populations. In this study, we provide R scripts to facilitate exhaustive search for solutions that represent all of the alleles in networks with the smallest .. Read More»
