Abstract The yellow-legged hornet ( Vespa velutina ) is a social Hymenoptera native from Asia and an invasive species in Europe, where it was first detected France 2004. Since then, the has spread across continent invading mainland Spain Mallorca island (Balearic archipelago, Western Mediterranean) 2010 2015, respectively. Yellow-legged hornets cause severe damage to ecosystem by predating over wide variety of pollinators including honeybees. Such threat situation requires development...

Co-inheritance of mutations in the HFE gene underlying hereditary hemocromatosis (HH) may play a role variability iron status patients with β-thalassemia (β-thal) minor. Different studies have yielded conflicting results: some suggest overload might arise from interaction β-thal trait homozygosity or even heterozygosity for and others that it was unrelated to genotype. Because high frequency Balearic Islands, where is also moderately common, interest evaluate effect co-inheritance both genes...

The remarkable geographical situation of the Mediterranean region, located between Europe, Africa and Asia, with numerous migratory routes, has made this area a crucible cultures. Studying Y-chromosome variability is very performant tool to explore genetic ancestry evaluate different scenarios that may explain current gene pool. Here, six populations, including three Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Majorca Minorca) Southern Italian regions (Catanzaro, Cosenza Reggio di Calabria) were typed using 23...

Abstract Chuetas are a group of descendants Majorcan Crypto-Jews (Balearic Islands, Spain) who were socially stigmatized and segregated by their neighbours until recently; generating community that, although after the seventeenth century no longer contained Judaic religious elements, maintained strong cohesion, Jewishness consciousness, endogamy. Collective memory fixed 15 surnames as most important defining element Chueta families. Previous studies demonstrated differentiated population,...

Abstract Y chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are used in forensic investigations as a useful complementary tool to autosomal markers. The ongoing development of new kits with an increasing number markers makes it necessary update populations typed the Y-STR Haplotype Reference Database reach at least 23 Y-STRs. A novel multiplex panel was developed offer cost-efficient alternative haplotypes from 12 loci. This includes eleven markers, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635, Y-GATA H4,...
