Phantoms of the forest: legacy risk effects of a regionally extinct large carnivore [PDF]
The increased abundance of large carnivores in Europe is a conservation success, but the impact on the behavior and population dynamics of prey species is generally unknown.

Desarrollo embrionario y larval de la mojarra paleta Vieja melanura (Günther, 1862) del sureste mexicano [PDF]
Previous studies of Vieja melanura consider population aspects, without addressing reproductive references, which are useful for fisheries and aquaculture management plans.

An adhesion-dependent switch between mechanisms that determine motile cell shape. [PDF]
Keratocytes are fast-moving cells in which adhesion dynamics are tightly coupled to the actin polymerization motor that drives migration, resulting in highly coordinated cell movement.

Emergence of large-scale cell morphology and movement from local actin filament growth dynamics. [PDF]
Variations in cell migration and morphology are consequences of changes in underlying cytoskeletal organization and dynamics. We investigated how these large-scale cellular events emerge as direct consequences of small-scale cytoskeletal molecular ...

Lowland streams of the Caribbean Costa Rican slope are naturally enriched by minerals and solutes such as phosphorus, a phenomenon known as geothermal input. The resulting stream phosphorus gradient affects the food web by altering primary production, leading to complex biotic and abiotic interactions.

Phylogeny, taxonomy, and evolution of Neotropical cichlids (Teleostei: Cichlidae: Cichlinae) [PDF]
Despite recent progress on the higher-level relationships of Cichlidae and its Indian, Malagasy, and Greater Antillean components, conflict and uncertainty remain within the species-rich African, South American, and Middle American assemblages.

Systematics and historical biogeography of Greater Antillean Cichlidae [PDF]
A molecular phylogenetic analysis recovers a pattern consistent with a drift vicariance scenario for the origin of Greater Antillean cichlids. This phylogeny, based on mitochondrial and nuclear genes, reveals that clades on different geographic regions ...
