Diversity and differentiation of the Chelonus (Microchelonus) species of the Galapagos archipelago (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
Despite the significance of the Galapagos archipelago, the richness of diverse groups such as braconid wasps remains poorly studied. Seven species of chelonine Braconidae are recorded for the Galapagos islands for the first time: Chelonus buscki Viereck,

A longitudinal study of avian pox in a small passerine, the Dunnock (Prunella modularis)

Ibis, EarlyView.
Long‐term, longitudinal studies of disease in wild bird populations are rare. Diseases are important determinants of bird survival and may spill‐over into other species including livestock and, in some cases, humans. Avian pox is a globally distributed disease, resulting from infection by viruses in the genus Avipoxvirus (APV).

Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...

Alien species pathways to the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Alien species, one of the biggest threats to natural ecosystems worldwide, are of particular concern for oceanic archipelagos such as Galápagos. To enable more effective management of alien species, we reviewed, collated and analysed all available ...

Ruxolitinib cream in adults with moderate atopic dermatitis after failure of other topicals: A randomized trial

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
In adults with moderate AD post‐TCS and ‐TCI, who may otherwise be eligible for systemic therapy, 1.5% ruxolitinib cream improved clinical signs and symptoms in the TRuE‐AD4 study. Abstract Background In patients with moderate atopic dermatitis (AD), topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI) often do not sufficiently ...

Cactaceæ in the Galapagos Islands [PDF]

Nature, 1895
IN my notice (NATURE, p. 623) of Dr. Baur's botanical collections from the Galapagos Islands, I intended to add a few words respecting the Cactaceae, but forgot it at the last moment. This natural order of plants forms the most conspicuous feature in the vegetation of some of the islands, as may be seen in the excellent views illustrating the cruise of

Fletcheria gen. nov. (Ralfsiales, Phaeophyceae): A new crustose brown algal genus clarifying evolutionary relationships of Ralfsia pacifica

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Ralfsia was historically broadly circumscribed but has recently undergone significant taxonomic revision. Based on molecular data, a restricted Ralfsia sensu stricto was delineated that had many species reassigned to new genera and families.

110 years of Avipoxvirus in the Galapagos Islands.

PLoS ONE, 2011
The role of disease in regulating populations is controversial, partly owing to the absence of good disease records in historic wildlife populations. We examined birds collected in the Galapagos Islands between 1891 and 1906 that are currently held at ...

Improved estimates of age, growth and reproduction for the regionally endemic Galapagos sailfin grouper Mycteroperca olfax (Jenyns, 1840) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
The Galapagos Sailfin grouper, Mycteroperca olfax, locally known as bacalao and listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, is culturally, economically, and ecologically important to the Galapagos archipelago and its people. It is regionally endemic to the Eastern
