Functional intraspecific variation in the base water potential for seed germination along soil microclimatic gradients

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 897-911, March 2025.
Abstract The ability of plants to successfully regenerate depends on complex physiological and ecological processes, and one of the first vital stages is seed germination, which depends on temperature, light and water availability. Within species variation in seed germination allows differential responses when facing stimuli and is key for adaptation ...

Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.

Global invasion and biosecurity risk from the online trade in ornamental crayfish

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Trade in undomesticated ornamental animals has rapidly expanded beyond brick‐and‐mortar retail stores to now include growing numbers of internet marketplaces. The growing volume, diversity, and origins of invasive non‐native species in trade challenge already weak national biosecurity policies.

Carbon dynamics in high‐Andean tropical cushion peatlands: A review of geographic patterns and potential drivers

Ecological Monographs, Volume 94, Issue 3, August 2024.
Abstract Peatlands store large amounts of carbon (C), a function potentially threatened by climate change. Peatlands composed of vascular cushion plants are widespread in the northern and central high Andes (páramo, wet and dry puna), but their C dynamics are hardly known.

Plant‐based meat analogues marketed in Catalonia: evaluation of the nutritional profile

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 2, Issue 3, July 2024.
Abstract In later years, a growing trend is apparent of vegetarian or vegan diets attributable to a number of causes, among of others, consumers’ concern for animal welfare, climate change and, to a lesser degree, for health‐related issues. On a par to this growth, availability of meat analogues in the market has also been on the rise. In this context,

Pushing the limits of C3 intrinsic water use efficiency in Mediterranean semiarid steppes: Responses of a drought‐avoider perennial grass to climate aridification

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 955-966, April 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) reflects the trade‐off between photosynthetic carbon gain and water loss through stomatal conductance and is key for understanding dryland plant responses to climate change.

Impacts of existing and planned roads on terrestrial mammal habitat in New Guinea

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract New Guinea is one of the last regions in the world with vast pristine areas and is home to many endemic species. However, extensive road development plans threaten the island's biodiversity. We quantified habitat fragmentation due to existing and planned roads for 139 terrestrial mammal species in New Guinea.

Agua: la importancia de una ingesta adecuada en pediatría

Acta Pediátrica de México, 2017
El agua es el componente más abundante del cuerpo humano, que por sí mismo es incapaz de producirla en cantidades suficientes para satisfacer sus necesidades; por eso es vital consumir una cantidad adecuada para mantener la homeostasis. A pesar de que el
