Three Decades of Research on Iberian Wild Ungulates: Key Insights and Promising...
Carvalho, João; Carpio, António; Figueiredo, Ana M.; Fonseca, Carlos; Ferreira, Eduardo; Serrano, Emmanuel; Barja, Isabel; Sánchez‐Zapata, JoséThe Iberian Peninsula is witnessing ever-faster environmental changes, and new challenges for wild ungulates are continuously emerging as they become more abundant and widespread. We conducted a systematic review to analyse the knowledge on wild ungulates inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula. We used Web of Science and Scopus search engines, complemented by searches in nonindexed journals, to examine peer-reviewed ...
Lack of mate selectivity for genetic compatibility within the red brocket deer ...
Carranza, Juan; Roldán, Mar; Duarte, José Maurício BarbantiMade available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T16:50:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-01; Red brocket deer Mazama americana includes at least two lineages that differ at the level of karyotypes and phylogenetic relationships based on mtDNA. Also, hybrids between them have been proved to be nonviable or infertile. Since successful breeding is hampered, we expect selection to have produced a p...
Males and females contribute unequally to offspring genetic diversity in the po...
Pérez-González, Javier; Costa, Vânia; Santos, Pedro; Slate, Jon; Carranza, Juan; Fernández-Llario, Pedro; Zsolnai, Attila; Monteiro, Nuno MThe maintenance of genetic diversity across generations depends on both the number of reproducing males and females. Variance in reproductive success, multiple paternity and litter size can all affect the relative contributions of male and female parents to genetic variation of progeny. The mating system of the wild boar (Sus scrofa) has been described as polygynous, although evidence of multiple paternity in l...
Microsatellite markers for identification and parentage analysis in the Europea...
Costa, Vânia; Pérez-González, Javier; Santos, Pedro; Fernández-Llario, Pedro; Carranza, Juan; Zsolnai, Attila; Anton, István; Buzgó, JózsefBackground The wild boar (Sus scrofa) is among the most widespread mammal species throughout the old world. Presently, studies concerning microsatellites in domestic pigs and wild boars have been carried out in order to investigate domestication, social behavior and general diversity patterns among either populations or breeds. The purpose of the current study is to develop a robust set of microsatellites marke...
A new marker for rapid sex identification of red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Barbosa, A. Márcia; Fernández-García, José Luís; Carranza, JuanThe red deer (Cervus elaphus) is an economically important game species facing some conservation issues. The knowledge of population parameters such as sex ratios is an important basis for management and conservation. We used previously published Y-chromosomal primers under low-stringency amplification conditions and found that they allow quick and accurate sex identification in this species by producing two di...
Lack of geographic variation in Y-chromosomal introns of red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Barbosa, A. Márcia; Carranza, JuanIntra-specific Y-chromosomal sequence variation is useful for analysing the male contribution to a species' spatial genetic structure. In red deer (Cervus elaphus) this is especially relevant, because geographic dispersal and game translocations occur mainly through the males. However, Y-chromosomal markers for wild organisms are scarce and frequently non-polymorphic within species. We assessed the intra-specif...
