Islanded Islands: Dual Isolation Drive Distinctive and Threatened Floras of Neotropical Maritime Inselbergs

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Questions Inselbergs, isolated rock outcrops, support unique plant communities. Maritime inselbergs (MIs) experience transient isolation due to maritime fluctuations, creating harsh survival conditions. This study is the first to investigate the plant communities' patterns on MIs, comparing them with those on continental inselbergs (CIs).

Clinical assessment and pathophysiology of Bothrops venom-related acute kidney injury: a scoping review [PDF]

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases
Bothrops are one of the most common medically important snakes found in Latin America. Its venom is predominantly hemotoxic and proteolytic, which means that local lesion (edema and redness) and hemorrhagic symptoms are recurrent in envenoming by this ...

A procedure using low‐cost reagents to prepare allogeneic platelet gel from standard platelet units

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 513-516, May 2025.
Abstract Background and Objectives Highly effective procedures for the preparation of allogeneic platelet gel (PG) use Ca‐gluconate and batroxobin, an expensive commercial reagent. In this preliminary study, we explored the use of the plasmin‐inhibitor, low‐cost drug tranexamic acid (TXA) in place of batroxobin, based on the literature supporting TXA ...

Chronic kidney failure following lancehead bite envenoming: a clinical report from the Amazon region [PDF]

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases
Background: Snakebite envenoming can be a life-threatening condition, for which emergency care is essential. The Bothrops (lancehead) genus is responsible for most snakebite-related deaths and permanent loss of function in human victims in Latin America.

Predictors of orbital convergence in primates: A test of the snake detection hypothesis of primate evolution [PDF]

, 2011
Traditional explanations for the evolution of high orbital convergence and stereoscopic vision in primates have focused on how stereopsis might have aided early primates in foraging or locomoting in an arboreal environment. It has recently been suggested
