Application of PE‐RADSeq to the study of genomic diversity and divergence of tw...
Malukiewicz, Joanna; Guschanski, Katerina; Grativol, Adriana D.; Oliveira, Maria Adélia B.; Ruiz‐Miranda, Carlos R.; Stone, Anne C.Callithrix jacchus and C. penicillata are among the smallest anthropoid primates, are highly specialized tree gougers, and largely occupy Brazil's most extreme, semi‐arid biomes. However, the underlying genomic factors that underpin the evolution of these species and their unique traits are under‐investigated. Additionally, exotic populations of these two species are widely established throughout Brazil and hyb...
Validation of qPCR methods for the detection of mycobacterium in new world anim...
Housman, Genevieve; Malukiewicz, Joanna; Boere, Vanner; Grativol, Adriana D.; Pereira, Luiz Cezar M.; Silva, Ita de Oliveira e; Ruiz-Miranda, Carlos R.Zoonotic pathogens that cause leprosy (Mycobacterium leprae) and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, MTBC) continue to impact modern human populations. Therefore, methods able to survey mycobacterial infection in potential animal hosts are necessary for proper evaluation of human exposure threats. Here we tested for mycobacterial-specific single- and multi-copy loci using qPCR. In a trial study in...
Natural and anthropogenic hybridization in two species of eastern brazilian Mar...
Malukiewicz, Joanna; Boere, Vanner; Fuzessy, Lisieux F.; Grativol, Adriana D.; Silva, Ita de Oliveira e; Pereira, Luiz C. M.; Ruiz-Miranda, Carlos R.Animal hybridization is well documented, but evolutionary outcomes and conservation priorities often differ for natural and anthropogenic hybrids. Among primates, an order with many endangered species, the two contexts can be hard to disentangle from one another, which carries important conservation implications. Callithrix marmosets give us a unique glimpse of genetic hybridization effects under distinct natur...
