Selmer groups of abelian varieties in extensions of function fields

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $q$, $cac$ a smooth geometrically connected curve defined over $k$ with function field $K:=k(cac)$. Let $A/K$ be a non constant abelian variety defined over $K$ of dimension $d$. We assume that $q=0$ or $>2d+1$. Let $p e q$ be a prime number and $cactocac$ a finite geometrically textsc{Galois} and etale cover defined over $k$ with function field $K:=k(cac)$. Let $(tau,B)$ be the $K/k$-trace of $A/K$. We give an upper bound for the $bbz_p$-corank of the textsc{Selmer} group $text{Sel}_p(Atimes_KK)$, defined in terms of the $p$-descent map. As a consequence, we get an upper bound for the $bbz$-rank of the textsc{Lang-Neron} group $A(K)/tauB(k)$. In the case of a geometric tower of curves whose textsc{Galois} group is isomorphic to $bbz_p$, we give sufficient conditions for the textsc{Lang-Neron} group of $A$ to be uniformly bounded along the tower.
