Overcoming Key Barriers for Secondary Cloud Forest Management in Mexico

open access: yesLand, 2021
Secondary cloud forests (SCFs), those that regenerate naturally following abandonment of human activities in previously deforested land, are of great value as refuges of high species diversity and for their critical role in hydrological regulation.

Wee1 kinase differentially regulates maize CDKA2;1a and CDKB1;1

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In eukaryotes, Wee1 kinase inhibits the kinase activity of CDK/Cyc complexes through phosphorylation of a conserved residue in the CDK moiety. Wee1 is also present in plants, but has been scarcely studied. We have studied maize Wee1 regulation of CDKA/CycD2;2a or CDKB/CycD2;2a complexes.

A novel, rapid technique for clearing leaf tissues

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2020
Premise Clearing leaves is a highly useful practice for many taxonomic, ecological, physiological, and eco‐physiological aspects of research. Using traditional methods, the procedure for clearing a leaf (referred to as diaphanization) can take several ...

Metal and Metalloid Toxicity in Plants: An Overview on Molecular Aspects

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Worldwide, the effects of metal and metalloid toxicity are increasing, mainly due to anthropogenic causes. Soil contamination ranks among the most important factors, since it affects crop yield, and the metals/metalloids can enter the food chain and ...

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Environmental factors associated with nesting habits and age shape the composition and connection between skin and uropygial gland microbiomes of birds

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1435-1452, August 2026.
This study provides new insights into how ecological conditions influence the evolution of host‐associated symbiotic communities and their functional roles. The findings suggest that pathogen pressures linked to nesting habits in birds shape bacterial communities of the uropygial gland, and their connection with the skin microbiome, where the ...

Mexican Coastal Dunes: Recipients and Donors of Alien Flora

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
The invasion of natural communities by exotic plants, which may turn into invasive or potentially invasive, is one of the most severe known threats to biodiversity, and coastal dunes are among the most affected habitats.
