1. Hybrid GRASP heuristics for the phylogeny problem combining path-relinking and genetic algorithm as an intensification strategy
A phylogeny is a tree that relates taxonomic units based on their similarity over a set of characteristics. The phylogeny problem under the parsimony criterion consists in finding a phylogeny with a minimum number of evolutionary steps. We propose hybrid heuristic methods - based on GRASP, path-relinking and genetic algorithm methodologies - to build a phylo

2. Redescription of a Dasypodini (Xenarthra, Cingulata) from the Quaternary of São Paulo, Brazil, and remarks on the genus Propraopus Ameghino, 1881. / Redescrição de um Dasypodini (Xenarthra, Cingulata) do quaternário do Estado de São Paulo e considerações sobre o gênero Propraopus Ameghino, 1881
This work presents the comparative description of the skull, postcranium and osteoderms of the Dasypodini (Xenarthra, Cingulata) MNRJ 552-V, collected in the quaternary deposits of Gruta de Itaporanga, Sorocaba-SP, Brazil. The skull was CT scanned and compared to those of extant taxa of all three Dasypodidae subfamilies, while the postcranium was compared to

3. Variabilidade da RegiÃo ITS-1 do Cluster RibossÃmico Nuclear em PopulaÃÃes de Ostras de TrÃs EstuÃrios da Costa Cearense / Variability of ITS-1 region of nuclear ribosomal cluster in three populations of oysters from the Coast Estuaries Cearense
ClassificaÃÃes taxonÃmicas de ostras sÃo problemÃticas, pois estes organismos possuem caracterÃsticas morfolÃgicas pouco informativas. A variabilidade da regiÃo ITS do cluster ibossÃmico tem sido bastante utilizada em estudos filogenÃticos e taxonÃmicos, visto que esta regiÃo apresenta uma variabilidade relativamente elevada e fÃcil amplificaÃ�

4. Evolutionary multi-objective algorithms for Phylogenetic Inference / Algoritmos evolutivos multi-objetivo para a reconstrução de árvores filogenéticas
The phylogeny reconstruction problem consists of determining the evolutionary relationships (usually represented as a tree) among species. This is a very complex problem since the tree search space is huge. Several phylogenetic reconstruction methods have been proposed. Many of them defines an optimality criterion for evaluation of possible solutions. Howeve

5. Molecular evidences for horizontal transmission of HCV inside couples / Evidências moleculares da transmissão horizontal do vírus da hepatite C (VHC) entre cônjuges
HCV transmission has decreased with the adoption of universal blood donors screening and social policies to reduce risk of infection in IVDU, but HCV is still a worldwide health problem. The epidemiological route of infection cannot be identified in a significant proportion of patients. Some studies demonstrated the presence of viral RNA in different secreti

6. HYBRID HEURISTICS FOR THE PHYLOGENY PROBLEM / HEURÍSTICAS HÍBRIDAS PARA O PROBLEMA DA FILOGENIA
A phylogeny is a tree that relates taxonomic units, based on their similarities over a set of characters. The phylogeny problem consists in finding a phylogeny with the minimum number of evolutionary steps. The main goal of this work is to develop hybrid heuristics for this problem. Two strategies are proposed. The first combines the GRASP metaheuristic usin

7. The metapopulation genetic algorithm: An efficient solution for the problem of large phylogeny estimation
Large phylogeny estimation is a combinatorial optimization problem that no future computer will ever be able to solve exactly in practical computing time. The difficulty of the problem is amplified by the need to use complex evolutionary models and large taxon samplings. Hence, many heuristic approaches have been developed, with varying degrees of success. H

8. Soft-tissue characters in higher primate phylogenetics
Recent research has cast doubt on the reliability of bones and teeth for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships among higher primate species and genera. Herein, we investigate whether this problem is confined to hard tissues by examining the utility of higher primate soft-tissue characters for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships at low taxonomi

9. Orthologous repeats and mammalian phylogenetic inference
Determining phylogenetic relationships between species is a difficult problem, and many phylogenetic relationships remain unresolved, even among eutherian mammals. Repetitive elements provide excellent markers for phylogenetic analysis, because their mode of evolution is predominantly homoplasy-free and unidirectional. Historically, phylogenetic studies usin

10. Phylogeny determined by protein domain content
A simple classification scheme that uses only the presence or absence of a protein domain architecture has been used to determine the phylogeny of 174 complete genomes. The method correctly divides the 174 taxa into Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya and satisfactorily sorts most of the major groups within these superkingdoms. The most challenging problem involv

11. Phylogeny of a rapidly evolving clade: The cichlid fishes of Lake Malawi, East Africa
Lake Malawi contains a flock of >500 species of cichlid fish that have evolved from a common ancestor within the last million years. The rapid diversification of this group has been attributed to morphological adaptation and to sexual selection, but the relative timing and importance of these mechanisms is not known. A phylogeny of the group would help ident

12. How reliable are human phylogenetic hypotheses?
Cladistic analysis of cranial and dental evidence has been widely used to generate phylogenetic hypotheses about humans and their fossil relatives. However, the reliability of these hypotheses has never been subjected to external validation. To rectify this, we applied identical methods to equivalent evidence from two groups of extant higher primates for who
