The use of chloroplast genome sequences to solve phylogenetic incongruences in Polystachya Hook (Orchidaceae Juss) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Current evidence suggests that for more robust estimates of species tree and divergence times, several unlinked genes are required. However, most phylogenetic trees for non-model organisms are based on single sequences or just a few regions ...

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Citizens Turning Into Scientists: A Calling to Boost the Knowledge of the Public to Address the Environmental Crisis in the Brazilian Semiarid 从公众到科学家:助力提升公众知识以应对巴西半干旱地区环境危机

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Desertification is increasing in the Brazilian Semiarid, leading to loss of species and ecosystem services, while precise data on biodiversity distribution and trends are lacking. Public engagement in scientific projects can improve ecosystem protection.

Acute Toxicity and Genotoxicity of cMoL, a Lectin From Moringa oleifera Seeds With Antifungal Activity Against Cryptococcus Strains

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) is one of the compounds involved in the application of M. oleifera seeds for traditional water treatment methods. The present study highlights the new biotechnological potential of cMoL lectin as an antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans B3501 and H99 and Cryptococcus gattii R265 strains ...

Devastating Rio Doce mining disaster sends shockwaves through earthworm populations

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The Fundão dam breach is considered one of the most severe environmental mining disasters globally, causing widespread changes to the soils of the Rio Doce watershed, one of Brazil's most important catchments. Given the ecological importance of earthworms to soil structure and dynamics, we investigated the richness, abundance, and biomass of ...

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Climate change scenarios differentially modulate the impact of invasion in a native macrophyte species

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasion and climate change threaten freshwater ecosystems, potentially amplifying their impacts through interaction. However, empirical evidence on how future climate scenarios influence the invasion process and their interactive effects on native species remains limited.

A global meta‐analysis of ecological functions and regulating ecosystem services of freshwater bivalves

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Freshwater bivalves are globally distributed, diverse, and common in benthic communities. Many taxa, particularly in the most species‐rich order, Unionida, are declining due to anthropogenic stressors, while a small number of non‐native species have become increasingly abundant and widespread, commonly replacing native bivalve assemblages.
