The crucial role of meshing in computational fluid dynamics simulations for organic geometries in paleobiology: Describing fluid dynamics performance through best practices

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2170-2194, October 2025.
Abstract Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool for studying fluid interactions in biological systems. While widely used in engineering, its application in the natural sciences, particularly in paleobiology, remains limited due to the challenges of meshing complex organic geometries.

The interplay between virus infection and water‐related stress is mediated by the plant metabolism of ascorbic acid

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 265-280, July 2025.
Summary Plants are often subjected to environmental variations in the context of infection such that virus‐induced and abiotic stresses co‐occur. One such environmental variation is water stress, which strongly impacts plant fitness. Although there is ample evidence of the beneficial effects of plant viruses under drought, the consequences of infection

Capacidad larvívora del gold fish (carassius auratus auratus) y del guppy salvaje (poecilia reticulata) sobre larvas de aedes aegypti en condiciones de laboratorio

Revista Científica, 2010
El control biológico de vectores de importancia médica se presenta como una alternativa al uso de plaguicidas. La utilización de peces larvívoros se promueve como una nueva estrategia para el control de vectores.

Short‐ and Long‐Term Growth Response to Multiple Drought Episodes: Evidence of Genetic Adaptation in a Conifer Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Tree ring analysis was applied to 1281 mature lodgepole pine trees growing in four common gardens in central Alberta, Canada. Drought indices were used to assess resistance, resilience, and a structural equation model was used to analyze the relationship between these metrics of drought recovery and susceptibility to disease.

Determination of S‐Allele Combination in an Italian Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) Germplasm Core Collection

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 2, Page 249-256, April 2025.
ABSTRACT An S‐RNase‐based gametophytic self‐incompatibility (GSI) system, a mechanism that forces outbreeding by preventing self‐fertilization, characterizes the genus Malus. Knowledge of the self‐incompatibility (S) genotypes of apple cultivars is crucial for choosing pollen donors for fruit production and breeding.

Remove saplings early: Cost‐effective strategies to contain tree invasions and prevent their impacts

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 661-676, March 2025.
Our highest‐ranking strategies represent management actions to start implementing in the field as part of an adaptive management plan that iteratively evaluates the validity of our simulation model and updates the management recommendations. Our study can be applied to guide management of invasive pines and replicated with any invasive woody species ...

Capacity and capability of remote sensing to inform invasive plant species management in the Pacific Islands region

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract The Pacific Islands region is home to several of the world's biodiversity hotspots, yet its unique flora and fauna are under threat because of biological invasions. These invasions are likely to proliferate as human activity increases and large‐scale natural disturbances unfold, exacerbated by climate change. Remote sensing data and techniques
