Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Amazonian Odonata Trait Bank

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
AbstractDiscussion regarding the gaps of knowledge on Odonata is common in the literature. Such gaps are even greater when dealing with basic biological data for biodiverse environments like the Amazon Rainforest. Therefore, studies that address, classify, and standardize functional traits allow the elaboration of a wide range of ecological and ...

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Pharmacogenomics of Major Depressive Disorder in Indigenous Amazonian Populations

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent psychological disorder worldwide and its main treatment is the use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. However, few studies have demonstrated the relationship between the presence of genetic variants in pharmacogenes and the efficacy of these drugs, especially in populations with a unique genetic ...
