Phylogenetic analysis of flatfish (Order Pleuronectiformes) based on mitochondrial 16s rDNA sequences
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2005)The phylogenetic relationships of the order Pleuronectiformes are controversial and at some crucial points remain unresolved. To date most phylogenetic studies on this order have been based on morpho-anatomical criteria, ... -
GM and KM immunoglobulin allotypes in the Galician population: new insights into the peopling of the Iberian Peninsula
(BMC, 2007)Background: The current genetic structure of Iberian populations has presumably been affected by the complex orography of its territory, the different people and civilizations that settled there, its ancient and complex ... -
Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from immune tissues of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) challenged with pathogens
(BMC, 2008)Background: The turbot (Scophthalmus maximus; Scophthalmidae; Pleuronectiformes) is a flatfish species of great relevance for marine aquaculture in Europe. In contrast to other cultured flatfish, very few genomic resources ... -
Gene flow and genetic structure in the Galician population (NW Spain) according to Alu insertions
(BMC, 2008)Background: The most recent Alu insertions reveal different degrees of polymorphism in human populations, and a series of characteristics that make them particularly suitable genetic markers for Human Biology studies. ... -
Phylogenetic analysis of the order Pleuronectiformes (Teleostei) based on sequences of 12S and 16S mitochondrial genes
(Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, 2008)The fish order Pleuronectiformes, composed of 14 families, has two suborders: Psettodoidei (with one family) and Pleuronectoidei (with thirteen families). The relationships among families of Pleuronectoidei and among the ... -
Morphological variation in a secondary contact between divergent lineages of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from the Iberian Peninsula
(Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, 2009)The aim of this study was to analyze the morphological variation of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in the Duero basin, an Atlantic river basin in the Iberian Peninsula, where a spatial segregation of two divergent lineages ... -
The Role of Inbreeding in the Extinction of a European Royal Dynasty
(PLOS, 2009)The kings of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty (1516–1700) frequently married close relatives in such a way that uncle-niece, first cousins and other consanguineous unions were prevalent in that dynasty. In the historical ... -
A rapid and simple method for constructing stable mutants of Acinetobacter baumannii
(BMC, 2010)Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant bacterium responsible for nosocomial infections in hospitals worldwide. Study of mutant phenotypes is fundamental for understanding gene function. The methodologies ... -
The mature larva of Gonioctena variabilis (Olivier, 1790) Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Chrysomelinae) and key to the larvae of the subgenus Spartoxena
(Pensoft Publishers, 2010)Mature larva of Gonioctena (Spartoxena) variabilis (Olivier, 1790) is described and illustrated for the fi rst time, based on specimens collected on Genista scorpius (L.) DC. [Fabaceae] in central Spain. A key to known ... -
Genomic organization, molecular diversification, and evolution of antimicrobial peptide myticin-C genes in the mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(PLOS, 2011)Myticin-C is a highly variable antimicrobial peptide associated to immune response in Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis). In this study, we tried to ascertain the genetic organization and the mechanisms ... -
QTL detection for Aeromonas salmonicida resistance related traits in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)
(BMC, 2011)Background Interactions between fish and pathogens, that may be harmless under natural conditions, often result in serious diseases in aquaculture systems. This is especially important due to the fact that the strains ... -
Detection of growth-related QTL in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)
(BMC, 2011)Background The turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a highly appreciated European aquaculture species. Growth related traits constitute the main goal of the ongoing genetic breeding programs of this species. The recent ... -
Historical legacies in world amphibian diversity revealed by the turnover and nestedness components of beta
(PLOS, 2012)Historic processes are expected to influence present diversity patterns in combination with contemporary environmental factors. We hypothesise that the joint use of beta diversity partitioning methods and a threshold-based ... -
An Expressed Sequence Tag (EST)-enriched genetic map of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus): a useful framework for comparative genomics across model and farmed teleosts
(BMC, 2012)Background: The turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a relevant species in European aquaculture. The small turbot genome provides a source for genomics strategies to use in order to understand the genetic basis of productive ... -
Genetic characterization, based on microsatellite loci, of Solea senegalensis (Soleidae, Pleuronectiformes) in Atlantic coast populations of the SW Iberian Peninsula
(Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, 2012)The Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis, is an important commercial flatfish species with major fisheries located off the Atlantic coast of the SW Iberian Peninsula. Past information about the genetic structure and ... -
Ontogenetic dietary shifts and food selection of endemic Squalius carolitertii (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) in River Tormes, Central Spain, in summer
(Szczecińskie Towarzystwo Naukowe, 2012)Background. The northern Iberian chub Squalius carolitertii (Doadrio, 1988) is a small endemic cyprinid inhabiting the rivers of the Iberian Peninsula. The knowledge of feeding patterns is essential to understand the ... -
Candidate transcriptomic sources of inbreeding depression in Drosophila melanogaster
(PLOS, 2013)The genomic causes of inbreeding depression are poorly known. Several studies have found widespread transcriptomic alterations in inbred organisms, but it remains unclear which of these alterations are causes of the ... -
Rare failures of DNA bar codes to separate morphologically distinct species in a biodiversity survey of Iberian leaf beetles
