1. Os sentidos da paternidade : dos "pais desconhecidos" ao exame de DNA / The meanings of paternity : from "unknown fathers" to DNA testing
The present thesis analyses the life narratives of children that have searched at the present for the legal recognition of the biological father in order for us to understand how the meanings of fatherhood are constituted, are signified and re-signified in these particular experiences, questioning at the same time how paternity, filiation, and conjugality ar

2. Desenvolvimento e aplicação de polimorfismos de inserção: deleção do cromossomo x em genética forense
Nowadays the human genetic identification its based on the utilization of a set of autosomal markers, the microsatellites, which fulfils the majority of the forensic genetic labs requirements. However, there are some situations when that the usual autosomal microsatellites dont always offer good results. Those situations include cases where the genetic sampl

3. Study of allelic frequency of five X-Chromosome?s loci STR on Sao Paulo State people and its role in human identification / Estudo de freqüência alélica de cinco loci STR do cromossomo X na população do Estado de São Paulo e sua contribuição na identificação humana
The forensic identification through DNA analysis is, frequently, done by the study of DNA?s polymorphic regions, such as STR, short tandem repeats. In order to use these markers in human identification, it?s necessary to know the allelic distribution in the population in wich the person belongs. This research aimed to settle the allelic frequencies of five X

4. Paternity testing and behavioral ecology: a case study of jaguars (Panthera onca) in Emas National Park, Central Brazil
We used microsatellite loci to test the paternity of two male jaguars involved in an infanticide event recorded during a long-term monitoring program of this species. Seven microsatellite primers originally developed for domestic cats and previously selected for Panthera onca were used. In order to deal with uncertainty in the mother's genotypes for some of

5. Kin discrimination in cooperatively breeding long-tailed tits.
Long-tailed tits Aegithalos caudatus are cooperative breeders in which helpers exhibit a kin preference in their cooperative behaviour. We investigated the mechanism through which this preference is achieved by first conducting an experiment for testing whether breeders could recognize the calls of their relatives while controlling for spatial effects. We fo

6. Cultural variation in Africa: role of mechanisms of transmission and adaptation.
Cultural inheritance can be considered as a mechanism of adaptation made possible by communication, which has reached its greatest development in humans and can allow long-term conservation or rapid change of culturally transmissible traits depending on circumstances and needs. Conservativeness/flexibility is largely modulated by mechanisms of sociocultural
