Genetic resources of mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) in protected areas in Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2022
Brazil, a recognized country for its rich biodiversity, is also known for the rapid loss of a significant part of its in situ genetic resources. Among hundreds of native species that have great potential for economic exploitation, many are not yet ...

Identifying Conservation Units in a Species and Prioritizing their Conservation

open access: yesJournal of The Japanese Institute of Landscape Architecture, 2008
Identifying conservation units in a species and prioritizing their conservation were attempted in order to efficient conservation practice. We defined a conservation unit as a distinct populations between which individuals cannot be exchanged because of unique genetic and ecological characteristics. Conservation priority was given to conservation units

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Reducing socio-environmental impacts of wildfire in sustainable-use reserves in Central Amazon

open access: yesBiodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Sustainable Use Reserves cover 728,270 km2 of the Brazilian Amazon and sustain smallholder communities living in tandem with forest protection. These traditional peoples have used fire for centuries as a central component of their agricultural practices.

Conservation Units and Translocations: Strategies for Conserving Evolutionary Processes

open access: yesHereditas, 2004
The setting of conservation priorities within species requires explicit goals and identification of the appropriate targets for conservation. I suggest that the conservation goal should be to conserve ecological and evolutionary processes; rather than to preserve specific phenotypic variants - the products of those processes.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...
