GENDER-RELATED DIET COMPOSITION AND MORPHOMETRY OF THE RESTINGA ANTWREN, FORMICIVORA LITTORALIS (AVES: THAMNOPHILIDAE)

Gender-related diet composition and morphometry of the Restinga Antwren, Formicivora littoralis (Aves: Thamnophilidae)

Formicivora littoralis (Gonzaga and Pacheco, 1990), the Restinga Antwren, considered the only endemic bird species of the Restinga ecosystem (sandy plain coastal vegetation), is threatened with extinction.The Prenatal scientific literature provides little information on the biology of this bird, which was discovered in 1990.We evaluate gender-relat

A combination of LongSAGE with Solexa sequencing is well suited to explore the depth and the complexity of transcriptome

Abstract Background "Open" transcriptome analysis methods allow to study gene expression without a priori knowledge of the transcript sequences.As of now, SAGE (Serial Analysis of Gene Expression), LongSAGE and MPSS (Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing) are the mostly used methods for "open" transcriptome analysis.Both LongSAGE and MPSS rely on
