It Takes Two to Tango: A Pluralist Account for Building Comprehensive Explanations in Human Evolution

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolutionary study of human dispersal is a key topic in biological anthropology. However, recent research has revealed inconsistencies between molecular and anatomical data across different timescales and geographic regions. Despite increased interdisciplinary dialogue, these discordances are rarely analyzed in depth or interpreted for ...

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

Caracterización preliminar de una secuencia homóloga del gen LEAFY en gimnospermas (Pinus radiata Lemm.)

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 1996
Un fragmento de una secuencia homóloga del gen LEAFY (LFY), que codifica para una proteína que tiene la capacidad de regular la transcripción de muchos genes involucrados en la iniciación de la floración y la morfogénesis floral en las angiospermas fue ...

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 Fundamental Scale of Descriptions for Analyzing Information Content of Communication Systems

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
The complexity of the description of a system is a function of the entropy of its symbolic description. Prior to computing the entropy of the system’s description, an observation scale has to be assumed.

Improved detection of house infestations with triatomines using sticky traps: a paired-comparison trial in the Argentine Chaco

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background We conducted a matched-pairs trial of three methods for detecting house infestation with triatominae bugs in a well-defined endemic rural area in the Argentine Chaco.

Predictive evolutionary genomics: principles, validation, and practice

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change and habitat loss are driving rapid evolutionary responses in populations world‐wide, which creates an urgent need for evolutionary forecasting in conservation and agriculture. Such forecasting can be categorized into three time scales: trait‐based models that use multivariate quantitative genetic equations to project correlated ...
