The animal head is a complex structure where numerous sensory, structural and alimentary structures are concentrated integrated, its ontogeny requires precise delicate interactions among genes, cells, tissues. Thus, it perhaps unsurprising that craniofacial abnormalities the most common birth defects in people, or these have genetic basis involving multiple loci. Developmental processes depend on such epistatic become exponentially more difficult to study diploid organisms as number of genes...

Reproductive interference is considered a strong ecological force, potentially leading to species exclusion. This supposes that the net effect of reproductive interactions strongly negative for one, or both, involved. Testing this requires comprehensive analysis interspecific interactions, accounting order and timing mating events, their effects on either fertility fecundity. To aim, we measured among spider mites, using focal species, Tetranychus urticae, an invasive (T. evansi) resident...

The study of the evolution novel genes generally focuses on formation new coding sequences. However, equally important in functional are regulatory regions that allow expression and effects organism as well. Herein, we discuss current knowledge genes, examine more detail youngest discovered. We existing data a very recent rapidly evolving cluster duplicated Sdic gene cluster. This is an excellent model for it may still be process evolving.

O que têm em comum Dom Afonso Henriques, o bacalhau, sobreiro, as castas de videiras ou leveduras necessárias à produção do vinho Porto? Podemos tentar enumerar algumas das (muitas) caraterísticas partilhadas por estes seres vivos, mas uma resposta curta e completa será: um ancestral longa história evolutiva comuns.

Abstract This preprint has been reviewed and recommended by Peer Community in Evolutionary Biology ( http://dx.doi.org/10.24072/pci.evolbiol.100025 ). Reproductive interference is considered a strong ecological force, potentially leading to species exclusion. supposes that the net effect of reproductive interactions strongly negative for one involved. Testing this requires comprehensive analysis interspecific interactions, accounting order timing mating events, their effects on either...

A gripe é uma doença respiratória aguda, geralmente benigna, mas que pode no entanto ter grande impacto em termos de saúde pública, tanto pela sua morbilidade e mortalidade, como a nível da economia Saúde. Esta causada por vírus família Orthomyxoviridae circulam nas populações humanas animais.

A gripe é uma doença respiratória infeciosa causada por vírus da família Orthomyxoviridae. É sazonal, mais frequente no outono e inverno que se caracteriza por: mal-estar cansaço, febre alta, dores musculares, articulares de cabeça, tosse seca inflamação dos olhos1. Ocasionalmente surgem epidemias devido ao facto este evoluir rapidamente transmitir facilmente via aérea através gotículas, tornando a sua prevenção um desafio. O estudo surtos longo anos tem permitido o desenvolvimento vacinas...
