  • Adaptation to milking agropastoralism in chilean goat herders and nutritional benefit of lactase persistence 
    Montalva, Nicolás; Adhikari, Kaustubh; Liebert, Anke; Mendoza-Revilla, Javier; Flores, Sergio V.; Mace, Ruth; Swallow, Dallas M. (Wiley, 2018)
    The genetic trait of lactase persistence (LP) evolved as an adaptation to milking pastoralism in the Old World and is a well-known example of positive natural selection in humans. However, the specific mechanisms conferring ...

  • Contrasting patterns of selection between MHC I and II across populations of Humboldt and Magellanic penguins 
    Sallaberry-Pincheira, Nicole; Gonzalez-Acuna, Daniel; Padilla, Pamela; Dantas, Gisele-P. M.; Luna-Jorquera, Guillermo; Frere, Esteban; Valdes Velasquez, Armando; Vianna, Juliana-A. (Wiley, 2016)
    The evolutionary and adaptive potential of populations or species facing an emerging infectious disease depends on their genetic diversity in genes, such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In birds, MHC class ...
  • Developmental and genetic components explain enhanced pulmonary volumes of female peruvian quechua 
    Kiyamu Tsuchiya, Melisa; Bigham, A.; Parra, E.; León-Velarde, Fabiola; Rivera Chira, Maria Concepcion; Brutsaert, T.D. (Wiley, 2012)
    High altitude natives have enlarged vital capacities and residual volumes (RV). Because pulmonary volumes are an indication of functionally relevant traits, such as diffusion capacity, the understanding of the factors ...
  • Food system vulnerability amidst the extreme 2010-2011 flooding in the Peruvian Amazon: a case study from the Ucayali region 
    Sherman, Mya; Ford, James; Llanos Cuentas, Elmer Alejandro; Valdivia, Maria Jose; Indigenous Health Adaptation to Climate Change Research Group (Springer, 2016)
    Projections of climate change indicate an increase in the frequency and intensity of climatic hazards such as flooding and droughts, increasing the importance of understanding community vulnerability to extreme hydrological ...
  • Geographical Variations of the Minimum Mortality Temperature at a Global Scale: A Multicountry Study. 
    Tobías, Aurelio; Hashizume, Masahiro; Honda, Yasushi; Sera, Francesco; Ng, Chris Fook Sheng; Kim, Yoonhee; Roye, Dominic; Chung, Yeonseung; Dang, Tran Ngoc; Kim, Ho; Lee, Whanhee; Íñiguez, Carmen; Vicedo-Cabrera, Ana; Abrutzky, Rosana; Guo, Yuming; Tong, Shilu; Coelho, Micheline de Sousa Zanotti Stagliorio; Saldiva, Paulo Hilario Nascimento; Lavigne, Eric; Correa, Patricia Matus; Valdés Ortega, Nicolás; Kan, Haidong; Osorio, Samuel; Kyselý, Jan; Urban, Aleš; Orru, Hans; Indermitte, Ene; Jaakkola, Jouni J.

    BACKGROUND: Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) is an important indicator to assess the temperature-mortality association, indicating long-term adaptation to local climate. Limited evidence about the geographical variability ...
  • ‘Q-Storming’ to identify challenges and opportunities for integrating health and climate adaptation measures in Africa 
    Rother, H.-A.; Dove, C.M.; Cornforth, R.; Petty, C.; Euripidou, R.; Irlam, J.; Gikungu, D.; Chivese, T.; Kutane, W.; Jourou, A.; van Bavel, B.; Zavaleta Cortijo, Claudia Carol; Wright, C.Y. (Elsevier, 2023)
    Introduction: Climate factors influence the state of human health and wellbeing. Climate-related threats are particularly being experienced by vulnerable populations in Africa. A Question (Q)-Storming session was convened ...
  • Vulnerability and adaptive capacity of community food systems in the Peruvian Amazon: a case study from Panaillo 
    Sherman, Mya; Ford, James; Llanos Cuentas, Elmer Alejandro; Valdivia, Maria Jose; Bussalleu Cavero, Alejandra Estefania; Indigenous Health Adaptation to Climate Change Research Group (Springer, 2015)
    Rainfall variability and related hydrological disasters are serious threats to agricultural production in developing countries. Since projections of climate change indicate an increase in the frequency and intensity of ...
  • Vulnerability of indigenous health to climate change: A case study of Uganda's Batwa Pygmies 
    Berrang-Ford, L.; Dingle, K.; Ford, J.D.; Lee, C.; Lwasa, S.; Namanya, D.B.; Henderson, J.; Llanos Cuentas, Elmer Alejandro; Cárcamo Cavagnaro, César Paul Eugenio; Edge, V. (Elsevier, 2012)
