What drives the evolution of body size in ectotherms? A global analysis across the amphibian tree of life

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 1311-1322, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The emergence of large‐scale patterns of animal body size is the central expectation of a wide range of (macro)ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. The drivers shaping these patterns include climate (e.g. Bergmann's rule), resource availability (e.g. ‘resource rule’), biogeographic settings and niche partitioning (e.g.

Reactive binder and aggregate interfacial zones in the mortar of Tomb of Caecilia Metella concrete, 1C BCE, Rome

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 105, Issue 2, Page 1503-1518, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Integrated spectroscopic analyses and synchrotron X‐ray microdiffraction investigations provide insights into the long‐term reactivity of volcanic aggregate components and calcium‐aluminum‐silicate‐hydrate (C‐A‐S‐H) binder in mortar samples from the robust concrete of the sepulchral corridor of the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, 1st C BCE, Rome ...

Geography of roadkills within the Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot: Poorly known vertebrates are part of the toll

Biotropica, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 820-830, May 2021., 2021
We analyzed wildlife roadkill patterns along a road network between tree protected areas in the Andes of Ecuador. Roadkills included poorly known small and endemic vertebrates, such as caecilians (Gymnophiona) and fossorial snakes (Atractus spp.). Most roadkills occurred in areas where roads crossed pasturelands adjacent to natural habitat.

Development and evolution of the tetrapod skull–neck boundary

Biological Reviews, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 573-591, June 2020., 2020
ABSTRACT The origin and evolution of the vertebrate skull have been topics of intense study for more than two centuries. Whereas early theories of skull origin, such as the influential vertebral theory, have been largely refuted with respect to the anterior (pre‐otic) region of the skull, the posterior (post‐otic) region is known to be derived from the

Registro de herpetofauna presente en isla palma, pacifico colombiano [PDF]

, 2012
A nivel mundial los anfibios y los reptiles son los grupos de fauna que despiertan mayor curiosidad dada la velocidad a la que se extinguen; según (LYNCH y RENJIFO, 2001) esto es consecuencia de los cambios efectuados por el hombre sobre su entorno.

Serum Stem Cell Growth Factor Beta for the Prediction of Therapy Response in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Introduction. Chronic inflammatory response is one of major contributors in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Inflammatory molecules, such as cytokines and growth factors in the circulation, can be useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of the patients.

DiVert: A Global Database of Land Use and Management Effects on Local Vertebrate Abundance and Diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Given that land use is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, it is key to understand how different land use types and management practices affect biodiversity. Existing global databases on biodiversity responses to land use generally distinguish only broad land use types, focus on a wide taxonomic coverage at the expense of
