Linking Inferred Laboratory-Derived Temperature Stress to the Immunocompetence of Wild <i>Octopus maya</i> (Mayan Octopus) G.L. Voss & Solís, 1966. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We established a correlation between thermal stress (an aerobic scope proxy) and the immune system in a wild octopus population. This suggests that oxygen capacity–related thermal tolerance may influence immunocompetence in marine species. We highlight potential connections between aerobic scope proxies and immune function.

Morphological and Histological Variations of the Reproductive Organs During the Annual Cycle in a Neotropical Bat: Peters' Ghost-Faced Bat Mormoops megalophylla (Chiroptera: Mormoopidae). [PDF]

J Morphol
Mormoops megalophylla exhibits a seasonal monoestrous reproductive pattern. Spermatogenesis and folliculogenesis occurs from October to December, mating takes place in November–December, gestation lasts from December to May, and lactation extends from June to September.

Low Genetic Diversity and Complex Population Structure in Black Piranha (Serrasalmus rhombeus), a Key Amazonian Predator. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using a Genotyping‐by‐Sequencing approach across tributaries in the central Amazonia, we found that the black piranha (Serrasalmus rhombeus) exhibits low genetic diversity, pronounced inbreeding, and significant population structure, likely shaped by historical events rather than contemporary factors.

A general model fitting coleoid cephalopod growth as a function of time and temperature to a single curve

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 539-549, December 2023., 2023
1. A novel general model has been developed to fit biomass growth data of coleoid cephalopods as a function of time and temperature. 2. The model calculates when the growth curve inflection occurs and when the maximum size is reached. 3. When the model was parameterized as a function of temperature on Octopus maya fitness, it confirmed the optimal ...

Compositional shifts of alpine plant communities across the high Andes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 1591-1606, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Climate change is transforming mountain summit plant communities worldwide, but we know little about such changes in the High Andes. Understanding large‐scale patterns of vegetation changes across the Andes, and the factors driving these changes, is fundamental to predicting the effects of global warming.

Protocol for Increasing Carotenoid Levels in the Roots of Citrus Plants

Bio-Protocol, 2016
Carotenoids in plants play several key functions such as acting as light-harvesters, antioxidants (Lado et al., 2016) or being precursors of strigolactones, abscisic acid, volatiles and other signaling compounds (Arbona et al., 2013).

Thallus hydrophobicity: A low-cost method for understanding lichen ecophysiological responses to environmental changes. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Methods to evaluate lichen thalli hydrophobicity have previously been described, but only recently has hydrophobicity been shown to be an important functional trait related to water regulation dynamics that could be used to predict future climate change effects. We describe a novel protocol to measure lichen thallus hydrophobicity that
