Plants are essential sources of food, medicine, shelter, fuel, feed, and forage, provide a wide range additional ecosystem cultural services to humanity. In recognition the tremendous value useful plants increasing threats their persistence, international agreements including Convention on Biological Diversity, Sustainable Development Goals, International Treaty Plant Genetic Resources for Food Agriculture have created ambitious conservation targets which must be measured through...
Abstract Crop landraces have unique local agroecological and societal functions offer important genetic resources for plant breeding. Recognition of the value landrace diversity concern about its erosion on farms led to sustained efforts establish ex situ collections worldwide. The degree which these succeeded in conserving has not been comprehensively assessed. Here we modelled potential distributions eco-geographically distinguishable groups 25 cereal, pulse starchy root/tuber/fruit crops...
Abstract Aim The conservation and effective use of crop genetic diversity are crucial to overcome challenges related human nutrition agricultural sustainability. Farmers’ traditional varieties (“landraces”) major sources variation. degree representation landrace in ex situ is poorly understood, partly due a lack methods that can negotiate both the anthropogenic environmental determinants their geographic distributions. Here, we describe novel spatial modelling gap analysis framework for...
Effective assessments of the current status biodiversity conservation are needed to support planning, policy and action, from local global levels. Of particular use would be well documented, reproducible methods based on openly accessible data tools. Such should provide an accurate estimate state diversity, identifying gaps in systems, while providing a benchmark against which measure success, including determining when goals have been met. Here we introduce GapAnalysis, open source R...
Abstract Aim To fill knowledge gaps regarding the distributions, ecogeographic niches and conservation status of sorghum's wild relatives ( Sorghum Moench). Location The study covered potential native ranges taxa worldwide, including Australia, New Guinea, Asia, Africa Central America. Methods We modelled distributions 23 taxa, characterized their niches, assessed both ex situ in performed preliminary threat assessments. Results Three were categorized as “high priority” for further based on...
The datasets and code presented in this article are related to the research entitled "Comprehensiveness of conservation useful wild plants: an operational indicator for biodiversity sustainable development targets"1. methodology includes five main steps, each requiring producing data, which fully described available here. These data include: species taxonomy, uses, general geographic information (dataset 1); occurrence 2); global administrative areas 3); eco-geographic predictors used...
Very similar morphologies have always been pointed out for subsections Natrix and Viscosae of the genus Ononis L. Morphological, environmental biogeographic approaches do not show significant differences between taxa both subsections, only life form was as biological descriptor to explain taxonomic ecological strategies these taxa: is composed by perennial forms, while solely represented annual forms. The discussion results conducted through insurance hypothesis, according which resilient or...
La interpretación de patrimonio cumple más un siglo existencia y sigue siendo una asignatura pendiente en la educación superior Europa. disciplina, que actualmente cuenta con corpus teórico robusto a nivel internacional ha demostrado ampliamente su inmensa aportación conservación del patrimonio, continúa sin tener reflejo el ámbito formal universitaria europea, salvo honrosas excepciones. El proyecto TEHIC se propone desarrollar programa formativo común estandarizado sobre superior,...

Functional enrichment analysis is a cornerstone in bioinformatics as it makes possible to identify functional information by using gene list source. Different tools are available compare ontology (GO) terms, based on directed acyclic graph structure or content-based algorithms which time-consuming and require priori of GO terms. Nevertheless, quantitative procedures terms among lists species not available. Here we present computational procedure, implemented R, infer derived from comparative...
There are research showing consequences for drug use or alcohol in auditory perception and speech discrimination. Even decreases were observed some frequencies andauditory discrimination tasks. Despite this, there is no involving the two variables. The aim to analyze relationship between use, with thelevel of hearing young adults.It was a comparative–descriptive study, where 48 people from 18 25 years (M = 21.5 years) city Temuco (Chile) selected deliberate sample; 72.9%women, organized into...
Functional enrichment analysis allows the identification of functional or biological characteristics genes through gene ontology terms (GO terms). However, descriptive procedures to compare GO between lists and species are limited. Here we present a computational procedure implemented in R (GOCompare) that comparing categories. To test our approach, were obtained for 5,494 related ten cancer traits Homo sapiens their orthologs Arabidopsis thaliana. GOCompare showed some similarities...
This paper addresses the problem of exploration and mapping an unknown environment using a fleet cooperative robots. The algorithm is distributed to each member, implicitly coordinating robots' actions through frequently exchanging localization information. Furthermore, coordination minimizes duration by spreading out robots minimizing sensory overlapping as much possible. Performance assessment was conducted for task identification motion planning algorithms. Finally, techniques have been...
