Apr 2, 2014 · Background Studies of domestication enables a better understanding of human cultures, landscape changes according to peoples’ purposes, and evolutionary consequences of human actions on biodiversity. This review aimed at discussing concepts, hypotheses, and current trends in studies of domestication of plants, using examples of cases studied in regions of Mesoamerica and Brazil. We analyzed ...

Apr 11, 2016 · The properties of blood and the relative ease of access to which it can be retrieved make it an ideal source to gauge different aspects of homeostasis within an individual, form an accurate diagnosis, and formulate an appropriate treatment regime. Tests used to determine blood parameters such as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, bleeding and clotting ...

Apr 2, 2014 · In other extreme, modern cultivars have reduced genetic variation because of the high selective pressure and modifications made to better adapt them to intensive monocultures [19,26,29-31]. Domestication is an evolutionary process that frequently occurs gradually, but some vegetatively propagated plants may be ‘immediately’ domesticated ...

Mar 25, 2019 · Incipient domestication through home gardens largely contributed to biodiversity creation and increase. By so doing domestication offered the possibility to populations to extract a large part of their needs (e.g., foodstuffs) from these home gardens, rather than exerting pressure on protected areas designed to favor in situ conservation.
Jan 4, 2021 · In Amazonia there are at least 85 arboreal species with domesticated populations, among which piquiá [Caryocar villosum (Aubl.) Pers.] is widely distributed. In some regions, there is ethnobotanical evidence of domestication for its fruit. To understand more about piquiá domestication, we evaluated genetic diversity and structure of two regions, sampling 130 trees in forests and homegardens ...
