Body size decline during thermal evolution is only detected at mild temperature
Antunes, Marta A.; Grandela, Afonso; Santos, Marta A.; Santos, Mauro; Matos, Margarida; Simões, PedroBody size is a key morphological trait that affects physiology and metabolism, as well as other relevant traits such as fertility and mating success. Some evidence points to a trend of shrinking body size with increasing temperature, but this is far from unequivocal. Here, we assess the evolution of body size under a warming environment in experimentally evolved Drosophila subobscura populations from two distin...
Kinship Analysis and Pedigree Reconstruction of a Natural Regenerated Cork Oak ...
Mendes, Bruna; Sampaio, Teresa; Antunes, Marta A.; Magalhães, Hugo; Silva, Filipe Costa; Borges, Carla; Simões, Fernanda; Usié, AnaCork oak (Quercus suber L.) is a valuable forest species in the western Mediterranean Basin due to its ecological value and the production of cork (a renewable natural material). Cork quality depends on the genetic background and cork oak environment, which has long been recognized. As no cork oak genetic trials with pedigree information were available, the inference of the genetic relatedness between individua...
