The importance of well protected forests for the conservation genetics of West ...
Minhós, Tânia; Borges, Filipa; Parreira, Bárbara; OLIVEIRA, RÚBEN; Aleixo‐Pais, Isa; Leendertz, Fabien H.; Wittig, Roman; Fernandes, CIn tropical forests, anthropogenic activities are major drivers of the destruction and degradation of natural habitats, causing severe biodiversity loss. African colobine monkeys (Colobinae) are mainly folivore and strictly arboreal primates that require large forests to subsist, being among the most vulnerable of all nonhuman primates. The Western red colobus Piliocolobus badius and the King colobus Colobus po...
Patterns of genetic diversity in socially structured populations : an individua...
Parreira, BárbaraNatural populations consist of spatial aggregations of interacting individuals shaped by geographic, ecological or behavioral factors. Relatively simple models have been proposed in population genetics to study how this subdivision affects the genetic diversity and persistence of populations in discontinued landscapes. Classical population genetic models view populations as networks of discrete entities (wherei...
Variability in the sonic muscles of the lusitanian toadfish (Halobatrachus dida...
Amorim, Maria Clara Pessoa; Vasconcelos, Raquel Ornelas; Parreira, BárbaraAnimal vocalizations are good examples of signals that have been shaped by sexual selection and often contribute to resolve contests or the choice of mates. We relate the mass of the sound-producing muscles of a highly vocal fish species, the Lusitanian toadfish (Halobatrachus didactylus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801)), with the sender’s physical features, such as body size, and reproductive and body condition. In...
