Here, we present a review of the studies of evolutionary genetics (phylogenetics, population
genetics, and phylogeography) using genetic data as well as genome scale assemblies in …

Abstract Premise Pilosocereus (Cactaceae) is an important dry forest element in all
subregions and transitional zones of the neotropics, with the highest diversity in eastern …

The study of transferability of simple sequence repeats (SSR) among closely related species
is a well-known strategy in population genetics, however transferability among distinct …

Abstract Cereus insularis (Cereeae, Cactaceae) is an insular endemic and dominant
element of the vegetation of Fernando de Noronha Islands (FNI), a Neotropical archipelago …

The aim of this paper was to investigate the phylogenetic relationships within Pilosocereus
(Cactaceae, Cactoideae), one of the most emblematic genera of cacti of the Neotropical dry …

Aims: Ancient DNA (aDNA) extracted from historical bones is damaged and fragmented into
short segments, present in low quantity, and usually copurified with microbial DNA. A wide …

Microsatellites are highly polymorphic markers which have been used in a wide range of
genetic studies. In recent years, various sources of next-generation sequencing data have …

The Cactaceae family is native to the American continent with several centers of diversity. In
South America, one of these centers is the Central Andes and many species are considered …

The progress in next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the discovery and
development of microsatellite markers, particularly for understudied species. In this study …

As one of the most informative and versatile DNA-based markers, microsatellites have been
widely used in population and conservation genetic studies. However, the development of …
