Inducing Cold-Sensitivity in the Frigophilic Fly Drosophila montana by RNAi
2016
The work was supported by CNPq (Fellowship to FMV) and a NERC Studentship to DJP. Cold acclimation is a critical physiological adaptation for coping with seasonal cold. By increasing their cold tolerance individuals can remain active for longer at the onset of winter and can recover more quickly from a cold shock. In insects, despite many physiological studies, little is known about the genetic basis of cold acclimation. Recently, transcriptomic analyses in Drosophila virilis and D.montana revealed candidate genes for cold acclimation by identifying genes upregulated during exposure to cold. Here, we test the role of myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (Inos), in cold tolerance in D. montana …
Conciencia emocional, estados de ánimo e indicadores de ajuste individual y social en niños de 8-12 años
2014
Emotional awareness, mood and individual and social adjustment outcomes in children aged 8-12 years old. Abstract: Emotional awareness or conscious experience of emotion is a key concept related to different individual adjustment child outcomes, such as somatic complaints. This relationship, moderated by mood, has been found in preadolescent and adolescent population. However, little is known in younger children and including other adjustment outcomes, such as adaptation. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the contribution of emotional awareness and mood upon different adjustment outcomes: somatic complaints and inadaptation (assessed by the test TAMAI), in children aged 8-…
Intervenció educatia en processos d’adaptació social
2014
El document forma part dels materials docents programats mitjançant l'ajut del Servei de Política Lingüística de la Universitat de València. La Intervenció Educativa en matèria d’Adaptació Social es centra en l'estudi, anàlisi i tècniques d’intervenció per a diferents subjectes que presenten conductes que comporten problemes socials, relacionals i dificultats conductuals de natura antisocial i/o delictiva, al llarg del seu desenvolupament evolutiu. Per això, el seu objectiu principal és que els estudiants puga obtenir coneixement (teòrics i pràctics), competències i habilitats instrumentals necessàries per aconseguir tant conèixer les causes, conseqüències i programes d'intervenció eficaç i…
Adaptive Vocational Personality Questionnaire Development and Validation of an adaptive personality questionnaire to analyze the vocational behavior …
2013
This study presents a personality evaluation instrument adapted to the vocational setting: the Adaptive Vocational Personality Questionnaire (AVPQ). The questionnaire was developed and tested in a sample of 2160 university students in the final years of their degree programs. The purpose of the study is to validate the questionnaire, providing evidence about its internal structure and its usefulness for predicting scores on a criterion scale. A confirmatory factor analysis combined with a cross-validation design was used: the exploratory sample (n = 879) helped to identify the model with the factorial structure that best fit the relations among the items. As expected, this model had two rel…
Confluencias marginales — Márgenes que confluyen. Las intervenciones públicas de LUCE en Espadilla (Castellón)
2022
La madrificación constante del tejido artístico contemporáneo invisibiliza con frecuencia narrativas marginales que se hilan en otras áreas de la Península Ibérica, impidiendo posibles discursos paralelos o contra-dominantes. En este sentido, no es inusual que la necesidad de repensar la marginalidad como nuevo (des)centro sea uno de los enfoques principales que impulsan muchas de las instituciones, artistas y proyectos españoles que se desarrollan fuera de la capital y que se han ido sumando en los últimos años con el fin de ocupar ese espacio vacante que les corresponde. El siguiente artículo se focaliza en definir la naturaleza de los llamados (des)centros, a través del prisma de las prá…
Unveiling adaptive mechanisms though experimental evolution: the role of duplicated genes and phenotypic plasticity in yeast, and the genetic variabi…
2021
Los seres vivos se enfrentan a condiciones ambientales cambiantes y habitualmente estresantes, agravadas por el cambio climático, que ponen a prueba su capacidad de supervivencia. El cambio en la composición genética de las poblaciones reside en las mutaciones, que son la fuente para la evolución y la adaptación a los cambios. La diversidad genética intrapoblacional está regulada por dos grandes fuerzas evolutivas que cambian la composición genética permitiendo así el acceso a nuevos fenotipos: la deriva genética y la selección natural. Por un lado, la deriva genética fija mutaciones en la población de manera aleatoria e independiente del efecto que suponga dicha mutación para la población.…
Adaptation to a seasonally varying environment: a strong latitudinal cline in reproductive diapause combined with high gene flow in Drosophila montana
2011
Adaptation to seasonal changes in the northern hemisphere includes an ability to predict the forthcoming cold season from gradual changes in environmental cues early enough to prepare for the harsh winter conditions. The magnitude and speed of changes in these cues vary between the latitudes, which induces strong selection pressures for local adaptation. We studied adaptation to seasonal changes in Drosophila montana, a northern maltfly, by defining the photoperiodic conditions leading to adult reproductive diapause along a latitudinal cline in Finland and by measuring genetic differentiation and the amount of gene flow between the sampling sites with microsatellites. Our data revealed a cl…
Species size affects hatching response to different temperature regimes in a rotifer cryptic species complex
2013
The strategy of decreasing size with increasing temperature known as Bergmann’s rule operates at geographic scale and in spite of extensive studies still presents a puzzle to researches. The aim of this work was to verify whether patterns of diapausing egg hatching of closely related species are consistent with the expectations from Bergmann’s rule. In a laboratory study of the cryptic species complex of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis, the response to temperature (17.5, 22.5, and 25.0 °C) of diapausing eggs collected in a pond where the three tested species coexist was assessed by (1) the number of hatchlings emerging or (2) the time needed to hatch. Our results show that the response to…

The Țigani Community Adaptability to Changes in Rural Romania and the COVID-19 Impact
2021
Romanian rural villages are struggling to survive present times when youngsters leave for a better life in the city while elders work the land like a hundred years ago. Our paper integrates human environments research with public health preparedness, presenting the Țigani (Gypsy/Roma) ethnic group from rural Romania as an example to the world. The future security of mankind will require a new understanding of the human place in its environment. That will lead to a new society, not the most powerful or intelligent, but the one that is more adaptable to changes, with sensitive and interconnected community members. Therefore, the Țigani ethnic group that fought for its rights and flourished de…
