Treponemal diseases are a significant global health risk, presenting challenges to public and severe consequences individuals if left untreated. Despite numerous genomic studies on Treponema pallidum the known possible biases introduced by choice of reference genome used for mapping, few investigations have addressed how these affect phylogenetic evolutionary analysis bacteria. In this study, we ascertain importance selecting an appropriate analyses T. pallidum. We designed...
A detailed genetic study of the pre-Columbian population inhabiting Tompullo 2 archaeological site (department Arequipa, Peru) was undertaken to resolve kin relationships between individuals buried in six different chullpas. Kin were an important factor shaping social organization Andean communities, centering on ayllu, a group relatives that shared common land and responsibilities. The aim this evaluate whether model had influence mortuary practices, particular determine chullpas served as...
Abstract The present phylogeographic pattern of red deer in Eurasia is not only a result the contraction their distribution range into glacial refugia and postglacial expansion, but probably also an effect replacement some s.l. mtDNA lineages by others during last 50 000 years. To better recognize this process, we analysed 501 sequences cytochrome b, including 194 ancient 75 contemporary samples newly obtained for study. inclusion 161 radiocarbon-dated enabled us to study phylogeny temporal...
Abstract Aim The Expansion‐Contraction model has been used to explain the responses of species climatic changes. During periods unfavourable conditions, retreat refugia from where they may later expand. This paper focuses on palaeoecology red deer over past 54 ka across Europe and Urals, reveal patterns change in their range explore role environmental conditions determining distribution. Location western Asia 63°E. Taxon Red ( Cervus elaphus ). Methods We collected 984 records...
The harsh climatic conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) period have been considered cause of local extinctions and major faunal reorganizations that took place at end Pleistocene. Recent studies shown, however, in addition many these ecological events were associated with abrupt climate changes so-called Late Pleistocene/Holocene transition. Here we used ancient DNA to investigate impact those on European populations temperate vole species (Microtus arvalis). genetic diversity...
Abstract We present ancient mitochondrial DNA analyses of 31 complete cytochrome b gene sequences from subfossil red deer remains the Tyrrhenian islands (Corsica and Sardinia) mainland Italy in a European-wide phylogeographic framework. North African deer, both going back to human introductions, were previously only harbour B lineage whose origin, however, remained unknown. Our Italian samples central part peninsula that radiocarbon-dated an age ca. 6300 15 600 cal BP all showed haplotypes,...
The present distribution of many species is a result climatic changes during the Pleistocene and human activity. impact climate has been accompanied by restrictions populations into refugia glacial periods, subsequent expansions more favourable conditions, whereas influence associated with hunting practices translocations. One mammalian that subject to such transformations red deer, Cervus elaphus, but exact nature these difficult determine using only modern DNA. In this study, we obtained...
Abstract Phylogeographic patterns in large mammals result from natural environmental factors and anthropogenic effects, which some cases include domestication. The grey wolf was once widely distributed across the Holarctic, but experienced phylogeographic shifts demographic declines during Holocene. In 19th–20th centuries, species became extirpated parts of Europe due to direct extermination habitat loss. We reconstructed evolutionary history extinct Western European wolves based on...
Whitefish catches have fluctuated since 1952, and except in 1964 each successive peak has decreased magnitude. Recently the overall trend been a diminishing fishery with increasing effort.There drastic change age composition time. Age-groups 5, 6, 7 accounted for 81% of catch from 1944 to 1948, age-groups 4, 6 89% 1949 1955, 4 5 86% 1959 1968, 3 88% 1969. The is now dependent upon two instead three. Natural failure one or more important year-classes would result serious decline catch,...
Background: Treponemal diseases pose significant global health risks, presenting severe challenges to public due their serious impacts if left untreated. Despite numerous genomic studies on Treponema pallidum and the known possible biases introduced by choice of reference genome used for mapping, few investigations have addressed how these affect phylogenetic evolutionary analysis bacteria. In this study, we assessed impact selecting an appropriate analyses T. pallidum. Results: We designed...
