RecruitNet: A global database of plant recruitment networks. [PDF]

Ecology, 2023
Abstract Plant recruitment interactions (i.e., what recruits under what) shape the composition, diversity, and structure of plant communities. Despite the huge body of knowledge on the mechanisms underlying recruitment interactions among species, we still know little about the structure of the recruitment networks emerging in ecological communities ...

Snapshots of Motion: A Novel Structural Intermediate Reveals Conserved Dynamics in Archaeal DNA Ligases. [PDF]

Proteins
ABSTRACT We present the first x‐ray crystallographic structural evidence of an archaeal DNA ligase showing the AMP covalent adduct together with further cofactor hydrolysis, capturing a transient intermediary in the first step of the ligation reaction, triggered by the pyrophosphate hydrolysis.

Morphological and molecular evidence reveals a new species of Characidium from the Ucayali-Urubamba Piedmont, Peru, and novel molecular clades are proposed within the genus. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from the Urubamba River basin, within the Ucayali‐Urubamba Piedmont ecoregion, Peru. The new species can be readily distinguished from all congeners, except Characidium cacah, Characidium chicoi, Characidium helmeri, Characidium mirim, Characidium nana, Characidium nupelia, Characidium sterbai ...

Key concepts and a world-wide look at plant recruitment networks. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Plant–plant interactions are major determinants of the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. There is a long tradition in the study of these interactions, their mechanisms and their consequences using experimental, observational and theoretical approaches.

Bioseguridad estadounidense y la emergencia de la vigilancia epidemiológica global: analizando la genealogía de un problema

Norteamérica, 2022
El desarrollo de sistemas de vigilancia de enfermedades infecciosas con alcance global y adaptados para identificar amenazas biológicas inesperadas no son consecuencia de una evolución científica “natural”.

STAT6 controls the stability and suppressive function of regulatory T cells

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments, we have demonstrated that STAT6 signaling is crucial for controlling Tregs stability and suppressive function by modulating the Treg‐specific demethylated region (TSDR) methylation state of the FOXP3 gene in homeostatic and inflammatory conditions.

Historical ecology and current abundance of the translocated Chilla or Grey fox Lycalopex griseus on the large Tierra del Fuego Island shared by Argentina and Chile

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May 2023., 2023
In 1951, 24 animals of both sexes of Chilla or Grey fox from continental Magallanes region, Chile were released on Tierra del Fuego Island, to control a European rabbit irruption detrimental to sheep ranching. No attention has been paid to the temporal course of that introduction, so here we provide a historical account of the presence of those foxes ...
