Phylogenetic niche conservatism and plant diversification in South American sub...
Barros,Michel J.F.; Silva-Arias,Gustavo A.; Segatto,Ana Lúcia Anversa; Reck-Kortmann,Maikel; Fregonezi,Jeferson N.; Diniz-Filho,José Alexandre F.Abstract Phylogenetic niche conservatism can be investigated at multiple scales on an explicit geographical context. Haplotype-based comparative analyses of lineages occupying the same region, and thus subjected to similar environmental factors, allow decoupling shared evolutionary and ecological patterns, as well as multiple dimensions of adaptive diversification. Here we aimed to assess the role of environmen...
Cost minimization analysis of an in-house molecular test for cytomegalovirus in...
Caurio,Cássia F.B.; Allende,Odelta S.; Kist,Roger; Vasconcellos,Izadora C.S.; Rozales,Francieli P.; Reck-Kortmann,Maikel; Dalla Lana,Daiane F.ABSTRACT Introduction: Cytomegalovirus may cause severe disease in immunocompromised patients. Nowadays, quantitative polymerase chain reaction is the gold-standard for both diagnosis and monitoring of cytomegalovirus infection. Most of these assays use cytomegalovirus automated molecular kits which are expensive and therefore not an option for small laboratories, particularly in the developing world. Objective...
Genetic diversity in Calibrachoa pygmaea (Solanaceae): A hawkmoth-pollinated ni...
Mäder,Geraldo; Backes,Alice; Reck-Kortmann,Maikel; Freitas,Loreta B.ABSTRACT Calibrachoa pygmaea is a unique species of Calibrachoa, especially concerning its flower morphology and the environment where it occurs. The species is self-incompatible and is narrowly distributed in wet and flooded fields of the Pampas region. We characterize the genetic diversity of the species based on traditional plastid markers and newly developed nuclear microsatellites to identify drivers that ...
