New binary polymorphisms reshape and increase resolution of the human Y chromosomal haplogroup tree

TM Karafet, FL Mendez, MB Meilerman… - Genome …, 2008 - genome.cshlp.org
Markers on the non-recombining portion of the human Y chromosome continue to have
applications in many fields including evolutionary biology, forensics, medical genetics, and …

Estimation of the long‐term variability of extreme significant wave height using a time‐dependent peak over threshold (pot) model

FJ Méndez, M Menéndez, A Luceño… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Recent evidence suggests long‐term changes in the intensity and frequency of extreme wave
climate around the globe. These changes may be attributable to global warming as well as …

An empirical model to estimate the propagation of random breaking and nonbreaking waves over vegetation fields

FJ Mendez, IJ Losada - Coastal Engineering, 2004 - Elsevier
In this work, a model for wave transformation on vegetation fields is presented. The formulation
includes wave damping and wave breaking over vegetation fields at variable depths. …

Analysis of clustering and selection algorithms for the study of multivariate wave climate

P Camus, FJ Mendez, R Medina, AS Cofiño - Coastal Engineering, 2011 - Elsevier
Recent wave reanalysis databases require the application of techniques capable of managing
huge amounts of information. In this paper, several clustering and selection algorithms: K-…

[HTML][HTML] A recent increase in global wave power as a consequence of oceanic warming

BG Reguero, IJ Losada, FJ Méndez - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Wind-generated ocean waves drive important coastal processes that determine flooding and
erosion. Ocean warming has been one factor affecting waves globally. Most studies have …

A recent bottleneck of Y chromosome diversity coincides with a global change in culture

…, S Fedorova, A Eriksson, A Manica, FL Mendez… - Genome …, 2015 - genome.cshlp.org
It is commonly thought that human genetic diversity in non-African populations was shaped
primarily by an out-of-Africa dispersal 50–100 thousand yr ago (kya). Here, we present a …

Genetic evidence for archaic admixture in Africa

MF Hammer, AE Woerner, FL Mendez… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
A long-debated question concerns the fate of archaic forms of the genus Homo: did they go
extinct without interbreeding with anatomically modern humans, or are their genes present in …

[HTML][HTML] Gibbon genome and the fast karyotype evolution of small apes

…, LR Lewis, Y Liu, DP Locke, S Mallick, FL Mendez… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Gibbons are small arboreal apes that display an accelerated rate of evolutionary chromosomal
rearrangement and occupy a key node in the primate phylogeny between Old World …

Punctuated bursts in human male demography inferred from 1,244 worldwide Y-chromosome sequences

GD Poznik, Y Xue, FL Mendez, TF Willems, A Massaia… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
We report the sequences of 1,244 human Y chromosomes randomly ascertained from 26
worldwide populations by the 1000 Genomes Project. We discovered more than 65,000 …

A hybrid efficient method to downscale wave climate to coastal areas

P Camus, FJ Mendez, R Medina - Coastal Engineering, 2011 - Elsevier
Long-term time series of sea state parameters are required in different coastal engineering
applications. In order to obtain wave data at shallow water and due to the scarcity of …
