Rodentia: Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) Reveladas Por Abordagens

Orientadora: Dra. Maria José de Jesus Silva São Paulo 2018 Chapter 1 Introduction 1. Integrative Taxonomy Delimiting species boundaries is the core in many subjects of evolutionary biology (Sites and Marshall, 2004). Associating scientific names unequivocally with species is essential for a reliable reference system. However, reaching a scientific consensus on the concept of species is one of the major challenges, since there are more than 20 concepts described (de Queiroz, 2005; 2007; Padial et al., 2010). An unified concept of species, based on the common fundamental idea among all the concepts, was proposed by de Queiroz (1998), in which species are lineages composed of metapopulations that evolve separately. Currently, several methods have been used in order to delimit and / or describe species, since any character can be used for this purpose, as long as they are inheritable and independent (Schlick-Stein et al., 2010). Traditionally, the primary identification of species is morphological. The advantage is that morphology is applicable to living, preserved or fossil specimens (Padial et al., 2010). However, delimitation of taxa based only on morphology has some limitations: (i) it can hide lineages in which quantitative and qualitative morphological characteristics overlap, (ii) lineages that differ only in ecological or behavioral characteristics, (iii) species that exhibit large phenotypic plasticity or (iv) cryptic species (Bickford et al., 2007; Padial et al., 2010). -
Investigating Evolutionary Processes Using Ancient and Historical DNA of Rodent Species
Investigating evolutionary processes using ancient and historical DNA of rodent species Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of London Royal Holloway University of London Egham, Surrey TW20 OEX Selina Brace November 2010 1 Declaration I, Selina Brace, declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, it is always clearly stated. Selina Brace Ian Barnes 2 “Why should we look to the past? ……Because there is nowhere else to look.” James Burke 3 Abstract The Late Quaternary has been a period of significant change for terrestrial mammals, including episodes of extinction, population sub-division and colonisation. Studying this period provides a means to improve understanding of evolutionary mechanisms, and to determine processes that have led to current distributions. For large mammals, recent work has demonstrated the utility of ancient DNA in understanding demographic change and phylogenetic relationships, largely through well-preserved specimens from permafrost and deep cave deposits. In contrast, much less ancient DNA work has been conducted on small mammals. This project focuses on the development of ancient mitochondrial DNA datasets to explore the utility of rodent ancient DNA analysis. Two studies in Europe investigate population change over millennial timescales. Arctic collared lemming (Dicrostonyx torquatus) specimens are chronologically sampled from a single cave locality, Trou Al’Wesse (Belgian Ardennes). Two end Pleistocene population extinction-recolonisation events are identified and correspond temporally with - localised disappearance of the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). A second study examines postglacial histories of European water voles (Arvicola), revealing two temporally distinct colonisation events in the UK. -

Lund, Sweden. ISSN 0018-0661. Received February 4, 1997. Accepted August 7, 1997 Comparative cytogenetics studies based on conventional staining, CBG, GTG, RBG-banding, Ag-NOR staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using telomere probes, length measurements, and meiotic data were performed on two related but previously undescribed cricetid species referred to as Oligoryzomys sp. 1 and Oligoryzomys sp. 2, respectively, from Pic0 das Almas (Bahia: Brazil) and Serra do Cipo (Minas Gerais: Brazil). Oligoryzomys sp. 1 had 2n = 46 and Oligoryzomys sp. 2 had 2n = 44,44/45.Our banding data and measurements as well as FISH results support the hypothesis that the difference between the diploid numbers occurred by centric fusion events. The karyotypes had conspicuous and distinguishable macro- and micro-chromosomes, and we suppose that the largest pairs (I, 2, and 3) have evolved from a higher diploid number because of successive tandem fusion mechanisms.

HAMILTON, EDITOR The publications of' the Museum of' Zoology, University of' Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W.W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of' which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list tor the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on held and museum , techniques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table ofcontents.

Hunter-Gatherers’ Self-Governance: Untying the Traditional Authority of Chiefs from the Western Toba Civil Association. Abstract The nI tegral Law for Aborigines (426/84) was the first legal instrument in Argentina systematically addressing indigenous peoples’ rights. It was modeled on the Paraguayan Law for Indigenous Communities (901/81). Both granted collective property rights. I discuss Article 9 of Decree 574/85 in Law 426, requiring that former hunter-gatherer bands would form civil associations, like those in the non-profit es ctor. The policymakers later amended the clause on governance inserting the authority of chiefs along that of democratically elected delegates. I describe the Western Toba’s journey to obtaining collective land title by introducing characteristics of traditional leadership, discussing local antecedents leading to the law, comparing it to the Paraguayan law, and analyzing the process through which the Toba complied with legal requirements.

Growth Patterns Among Indigenous Qom Children of the Argentine Gran Chaco
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN BIOLOGY 00:00–00 (2016) Original Research Article Growth Patterns among Indigenous Qom Children of the Argentine Gran Chaco 1 2 MARTA P. ALFONSO-DURRUTY, AND CLAUDIA R. VALEGGIA * 1Department of Anthropology, Sociology & Social-Work, Kansas State University, 008 Waters Hall, Manhattan, Kansas 2Department of Anthropology, Yale University, 10 Sachem St., New Haven, Connecticut OBJECTIVES: This study describes and compares the growth strategies of rural (Western) and peri-urban (Eastern) Qom indigenous children from Argentina. METHODS: Height and weight were cross-sectionally assessed in Western (n 5 263) and Eastern Qom (n 5 512) individuals aged 0-18.9 years. Height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), and BMI-for-age (BMIZ) z-scores were cal- culated with an LMS software. Results were organized into four age categories: infancy, childhood, juvenility, and ado- lescence. Between-group comparisons of HAZ, WAZ, and BMIZ were carried out by age and sex categories and compared with Student’s t or Mann Whitney tests. Nutritional status was classified based on BMIZ following WHO rec- ommendations and was compared with x2 tests. RESULTS: In both groups, height and weight followed the typical human growth curve. Mean HAZ scores in both groups were within two standard deviations from the international reference, and increased from infancy to juvenility. WAZ and BMIZ scores were high during infancy and showed a general declining trend with age. Overall, Western Qom had higher HAZ scores. WAZ and BMIZ score comparisons showed only a handful of statistically significant differences, which, along with the analysis of BMI categories, indicated an association between peri-urban environments and a higher prevalence of overweight and obese individuals (P < 0.01). -
