Viabilidad de las empresas familiares de tamaño medio en el sector español de alimentación y bebidas

El sector español de alimentación y bebidas tiene características que lo hacen muy significativo para el estudio de la evolución a lo largo del tiempo de las empresas familiares. En este proyecto se ha diseñado un modelo de análisis ecológico de la evolución de las empresas desde el Tratado de Adhesión de 1992 hasta el momento actual. El propósito de este estudio es conocer los índices de supervivencia y vitalidad de las Empresas Familiares, y de esta manera descubrir cómo se hacen fuertes y continúan posicionándose exitosamente en los mercados. Las cuestiones que se plantearán en esta investigación son cuántas empresas familiares habían en el sector en 1992, en un determinado nivel de facturación, y cuántas continúan como familiares en el año 2001. Cómo son las Empresas Familiares que continúan: fuertes con una posición consolidada o, por el contrario, se han debilitado, tiene previstos cambios, etc. En el caso de las empresas que han dejado de ser familiares, conocer las causas de su proceso de transformación, así como también estudiar cuáles son las empresas que han desaparecido del mercado.Empresa Familiar; Ecología; Supervivencia; Alimentación y bebidas;

Population dynamics and genetic connectivity in recent chimpanzee history

Knowledge on the population history of endangered species is critical for conservation, but whole-genome data on chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) is geographically sparse. Here, we produced the first non-invasive geolocalized catalog of genomic diversity by capturing chromosome 21 from 828 non-invasive samples collected at 48 sampling sites across Africa. The four recognized subspecies show clear genetic differentiation correlating with known barriers, while previously undescribed genetic exchange suggests that these have been permeable on a local scale. We obtained a detailed reconstruction of population stratification and fine-scale patterns of isolation, migration, and connectivity, including a comprehensive picture of admixture with bonobos (Pan paniscus). Unlike humans, chimpanzees did not experience extended episodes of long-distance migrations, which might have limited cultural transmission. Finally, based on local rare variation, we implement a fine-grained geolocalization approach demonstrating improved precision in determining the origin of confiscated chimpanzees

Acanthurus mata (Cuvier, 1829), Elongate Surgeonfish (Acanthuridae), newly recorded in the Tropical Eastern Pacifi

The reef-fish fauna of the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) includes 12 species of surgeonfishes (Acanthuridae), five of them in the genus Acanthurus. Recent recreational scuba diving at Isla Darwin in the Galapagos archipelago produced photographs of adults of an additional species of Acanthurus, A. mata (Cuvier, 1829), for which there are no previous records in the TEP. This species may have escaped previous notice due to its semi-pelagic habitat preference and its resemblance to Acanthurus xanthopterus Valenciennes, 1835, which occurs throughout much of the Galapagos
