From traditional knowledge to novel adaptations of transhumant pastoralists the in face of new challenges in North Patagonia por Easdale, Marcos Horacio, Aguiar, Martín Roberto

“…Transhumant pastoralism is a mobile livelihood strategy in many mountainous, arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. The knowledge of pastoral communities and their lifestyle are strongly rooted in the historical evolution of their own experience in the region, which has largely been part of their social adaptation strategies to environmental variability. …”

Distribution and ecology of wild lettuces Lactuca serriola L. and Lactuca virosa L. in central Chile por Lebeda, Aleš, Křístková, Eva, Khoury, Colin K., Carver, Dan, Sosa, Christian C.

“…These observations indicate that: i) both allochthonous (Euroasian) wild Lactuca species occur and are able to regenerate in central Chile; ii) L. serriola forms dense populations in urbanized areas; iii) both species can expand along transport corridors to high elevations; iv) the spread of L. virosa and persistence of dense populations in elevations above 2,000 m a.s.l. prove the invasiveness of this species in extreme climates; v) both species should be monitored (and treated) both in urbanized and agricultural areas, as well as in unique local mountainous areas.…”

A single-nucleotide mutation within the TBX3 enhancer increased body size in Chinese horses por Xuexue Liu, Yanli Zhang, Wujun Liu, Yefang Li, Jianfei Pan, Yabin Pu, Han Jianlin, Orlando, L., Yuehui Ma, Lin Jiang

“…Chinese ponies are endemic to the mountainous areas of southwestern China and were first reported in the archaeological record at the Royal Tomb of Zhongshan King, Mancheng, dated to approximately ∼2,100 YBP.1 Previous work has started uncovering the genetic basis of size variation in western ponies and horses, revealing a limited number of loci, including HMGA2,2LCORL/NCAPG,3ZFAT, and LASP1.4,5 Whether the same genetic pathways also drive the small body size of Chinese ponies, which show striking anatomical differences to Shetland ponies,6 remains unclear.2,7 To test this, we combined whole-genome sequences of 187 horses across China. …”
