• Abstract

  Recent analyses of endemism and levels of antropic threat identified the so called hotspots targets for conservation. However, our knowledge about the origin and distribution of the biodiversity in those areas remains scarce. Such a deficiency limits our power of conservation with respect to the environmental changes caused by a man. One of the aims of this project is addressed to study t…

• Abstract

  This project will use a multidisciplinary approach to study the Brazilian vertebrate fauna, focusing on rodents, marsupials, lizards and amphibians. Cytogenetical, molecular and morphological tools will be used. Chromosomal characterization will be based on routine cytogenetic and banding techniques, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using telomeric and ribosomal probes, and chromo…
