Genetic variability and population structure in Melipona scutellaris (Hymenopte...
Tavares, Mara Garcia; Passamani, Paulo Z.; Resende, Helder C.; Campos, Lucio Antonio de O.; Almeida, Bruno S.; Paiva, Samuel R.Melipona scutellaris is an important pollinator in natural and cultured areas from northeastern Brazil. Therefore, the goal of this work was to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of M. scutellaris within its Bahia range, relating putative geographical influences on population dynamics. A total of 111 colonies from 13 municipalities in Bahia from sea level up to 1,011 m of altitude were s...
Phylogeography and RAPD-PCR variation in Hoplias malabaricus (Bloch, 1794) (Pis...
Dergam, Jorge A.; Paiva, Samuel R.; Schaeffer, Carlos E.; Godinho, Alexandre L.; Vieira, FabioIn the Rio Doce basin of southeastern Brazil, the freshwater fish Hoplias malabaricus (trahira) is a widespread predatory characin and one of the few resilient native fishes in a highly impacted lake system. In order to test for genetic differentiation in populations within this basin and for biogeographic relationships among populations of this species in other basins, a study was conducted using RAPD-PCR anal...
Fine mapping and single nucleotide polymorphism effects estimation on pig chrom...
Hidalgo, André M.; Lopes, Paulo S.; Paixão, Débora M.; Silva, Fabyano F.; Bastiaansen, John W.M.; Paiva, Samuel R.; Faria, Danielle A.Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) from previous linkage studies was performed on pig chromosomes 1, 4, 7, 8, 17, and X which were known to harbor QTL. Traits were divided into: growth performance, carcass, internal organs, cut yields, and meat quality. Fifty families were used of a F2 population produced by crossing local Brazilian Piau boars with commercial sows. The linkage map consisted of 237 SN...
