Metabolomic Analysis of Phytophthora parasitica Growth in the Presence of β-sitosterol Indicates Adaptive Mechanisms Modulated by Sterols. [PDF]
J Basic MicrobiolABSTRACT Phytophthora parasitica is a generalist phytopathogenic oomycete that infects a series of crops with great economic interest, including tomato, tobacco, and citrus species. Sterols are essential lipids in eukaryotic organisms, playing a fundamental role in the structure and function of the cell membrane.

Farmland abandonment and season drive scavenging dynamics in livestock-rewilded landscapes. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Farmland abandonment occurs commonly across European mountain regions, which causes triggering of habitat encroachment through shrub regeneration and natural afforestation. However, its impact on vertebrate scavenger communities and ecological processes, such as the removal of small carcasses remains poorly understood.

Understanding Mosquito Vector Invasion Pathways: Synergistic Effects of Human Mobility, Climate and Natural Dispersal. [PDF]
Ecol LettMosquito‐borne diseases are increasing globally, driven by the expanding range of invasive vectors, yet the mechanisms of their spread remain poorly understood. Using 20 years of invasion data from Spain, we combine high‐resolution human mobility data with a metapopulation model to study the colonisation dynamics of Aedes albopictus.

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 862-869, July 2023., 2023 Abstract The Brazilian Environmental Authority (IBAMA) has recently identified soil organisms as a priority area for risk assessment development for plant protection products. This includes consideration of which species in soil fauna are important to be tested for risk assessment purposes, which ecotoxicological tests should be used, and which ...

The influence of sugarcane pre‐harvest fire on hantavirus prevalence in Neotropical small mammals
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of pre‐harvest fire in sugarcane fields surprisingly results in an increase in the abundance of Neotropical Sigmodontinae rodents, which might carry hantavirus. By contrast, fire suspension induces a decline in rodents in the first 5 years.

Occupancy data improves parameter precision in spatial capture–recapture models
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 We fitted a spatial capture–recapture integrated model (SCR‐IM) to stone marten (Martes foina) data, and estimate population size based on integration of three submodels: (1) individual capture histories from live capture and transponder tagging; (2) detection/nondetection or “occupancy” data using camera traps in a bigger area to extend the geographic

Distribution of Oikopleura Dioica (Tunicata, Appendicularia) associated with a coastal frontal system (39°- 41°s) of the SW Atlantic ocean in the spawning area of Engraulis Anchoita anchovy [PDF]
, 2013 Among tunicates, the small planktonic appendicularians generally comprise a significant fraction of the mesozooplankton in frontal systems. The summer 2011 distribution (vertical and spatial) of Oikopleura dioica was studied in terms of abundance ...
