To determine a hypothetical scenario that accounts for the diversification of the two species
of the genus Antilophia, we conducted multilocus molecular comparisons and species …

Long‐term population history can influence the genetic effects of recent bottlenecks.
Therefore, for threatened or endangered species, an understanding of the past is relevant …

The Cerrado encompasses a complex network of hydrographic basins, which is responsible
for the formation and maintenance of the riparian and gallery forests. Alterations in the …

Assessment of genetic diversity and connectivity between regions can inform conservation
managers about risk of inbreeding, potential for adaptation and where population …

Analyzing the genetic diversity of a population can be useful in identifying some of the silent
effects of habitat fragmentation. We examined and compared 4 mitochondrial loci of the near …

Molecular genetic studies shed light on the processes and constraints that led to present
species distributions. DNA sequences have become instrumental in constructing a modern …

Declines in population size can compromise the viability of populations by reducing the
effective population size (N e), which may result in loss of genetic diversity and inbreeding …

Many environments occupied by North American sea ducks are remote and difficult to
access, and as a result, detailed information about life history characteristics that drive …

Abstract The Montagu's harrier (Circus pygargus) is a long-distance migratory raptor,
breeding in Europe and Western Asia and wintering in sub-Saharan Africa. The population …

Abstract The Araripe Manakin (Antilophia bokermanni) is a “Critically Endangered” bird
species endemic to northeastern Brazil. The habitat of the species has suffered intense …
