Ultrasensitive environmental assessment of xeno-estrogens in water samples using label-free graphene immunosensors.
Huw Barton,Waldir M. Berbel-Filho,Sofia Consuegra,Lewis Francis,Chedly Tizaoui,R. Steven Conlan,Sofia Teixeira +6 more
TL;DR: This portable, disposable immunosensor offers a solution for immediate measurement at sample collection sites, due to its excellent sensitivity and selectivity when testing water samples obtained directly from rivers and waste water treatment facilities.

Local parasite pressures and host genotype modulate epigenetic diversity in a mixed‐mating fish
Waldir M. Berbel-Filho,Carlos Garcia de Leaniz,Paloma Morán,Joanne Cable,Sergio M. Q. Lima,Sofia Consuegra +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of three populations of Kryptolebias hermaphroditus found strong genetic population structuring, as well as differences in parasite loads and methylation levels among sampling sites and selfing lineages, suggesting DNA methylation represents a potential mechanism for generating additional adaptive variation under low genetic diversity.
Phylogeny of Neotropical Seirinae (Collembola, Entomobryidae) based on mitochondrial genomes
Nerivânia N. Godeiro,Nerivânia N. Godeiro,Nerivânia N. Godeiro,George Pacheco,Shanlin Liu,Shanlin Liu,Nikolas Gioia Cipola,Waldir M. Berbel-Filho,Feng Zhang,Marcus Thomas Pius Gilbert,Bruno Cavalcante Bellini +10 more
TL;DR: This study generates and analyzes the mitochondrial genomes of 26 terminal taxa of Entomobryidae, and one species of Paronellidae to clarify the phylogenetic relationships within the Neotropical Seirinae, and validated that Tyrannoseira is a distinct lineage and proposes the elevation of Lepidocyrtinus to genus.

More than meets the eye: syntopic and morphologically similar mangrove killifish species show different mating systems and patterns of genetic structure along the Brazilian coast.
Waldir M. Berbel-Filho,Andrey Tatarenkov,Helder M. V. Espírito-Santo,Mateus G. Lira,Carlos Garcia de Leaniz,Sergio M. Q. Lima,Sofia Consuegra +6 more
TL;DR: The genetic structure and phylogeographic patterns of K. ocellatus are examined, using mitochondrial DNA and microsatellites to compare its patterns of genetic structure with the predominantly selfing and often-syntopic, K. hermaphroditus, to indicate that the two species had remarkably different evolutionary histories when colonising the same mangrove areas in southeastern Brazil.
Additive and non-additive epigenetic signatures of natural hybridization between fish species with different mating systems
Waldir M. Berbel-Filho,George Pacheco,Mateus G. Lira,Carlos Garcia de Leaniz,Sergio M. Q. Lima,Carlos M. Rodríguez López,Jia Zhou,Sofia Consuegra +7 more
TL;DR: The relationship between genetic background and methylation patterns in natural hybrids of two genetically divergent fish species with different mating systems, Kryptolebias hermaphroditus and K. ocellatus, suggests that hybridisation may play a role in increasing genetic and epigenetic variation.
