β-globin haplotypes in normal and hemoglobinopathic individuals from Reconcavo Baiano, State of Bahia, Brazil
Provedor de dados: Genetics and Molecular Biology
Autores: Silva,Wellington dos Santos; Klautau-Guimarães,Maria de Nazaré; Grisolia,Cesar Koppe.
Five restriction site polymorphisms in the β-globin gene cluster (HincII-5'ε, HindIII-Gγ, HindIII-ªγ, HincII-'ψβ1 and HincII-3''ψβ1) were analyzed in three populations (n = 114) from Reconcavo Baiano, State of Bahia, Brazil. The groups included two urban populations from the towns of Cachoeira and Maragojipe and one rural Afro-descendant population, known as the "quilombo community", from Cachoeira municipality. The number of haplotypes found in the populations ranged from 10 to 13, which indicated higher diversity than in the parental populations. The haplotypes 2 (+----),3(----+),4(-+--+)and6(-++-+)onthe βA chromosomes were the most common, and two haplotypes, 9 (-++++)and 14 (++--+), were found exclusively in the Maragojipe population. The other...

SUBSISTENCE HUNTING FOR TURTLES IN NORTHWESTERN ECUADOR
Provedor de dados: Acta Biológica Colombiana
Autores: CARR,JOHN L.; ALMENDÁRIZ,ANA; SIMMONS,JOHN E.; NIELSEN,MARK T.
We describe the subsistence exploitation of an entire turtle fauna in Esmeraldas Province, Ecuador. We collected first-hand accounts and witnessed a number of capture techniques used by rural Afroecuadorian and Chachi inhabitants of the Cayapas-Santiago river basin. The diversity of techniques indicated a practical knowledge of the ecology of the species. Chelydra acutirostris, Kinosternon leucostomum, Rhinoclemmys annulata, melanosterna, and R. nasuta were captured and eaten. Poziando involved cleaning pools in a stream bed during the relatively dry season by removing live plants, organic detritus, and then seining with baskets; we observed R. melanosterna and K. leucostomum captured in this way. Pitfall traps baited with fruit were used to catch R....
