A review of the prevalence, utility, and caveats of using chloroplast simple sequence repeats for studies of plant biology. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2014 Microsatellites occur in all plant genomes and provide useful markers for studies of genetic diversity and structure. Chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSRs) are frequently targeted because they are more easily isolated than nuclear microsatellites. Here, we quantified the frequency and uses of cpSSRs based on a literature review of over 400 studies ...

Fisher Ethnotaxonomy for Elasmobranchs Captured Along the Brazilian Amazon Coast
Ethnobiology Letters, 2023 The diversity of popular names used in fish nomenclature off the Brazilian coast makes it difficult to identify species, and many names have their origins in Indigenous languages, mainly Tupi-Guarani. This study sought to understand and update the list of the most popular names and assess some ethnotaxonomic patterns employed by artisanal fishers from ...
