Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

The Troubles and Beyond: The impact of a museum exhibit on a post‐conflict society

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In divided societies, can museums contribute to healing and recovery? While efforts to memorialize past violence typically aim to promote tolerance and reconciliation, remembering could exacerbate divisions in recovering societies where the past is deeply contested. We examine a transitional justice museum exhibit in Northern Ireland.

ACTH depresses delta 6 and delta 5 desaturation activity in rat adrenal gland and liver.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1987
The in vivo and in vitro effect of ACTH on the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acid of rat adrenal gland and liver was studied. The administration of ACTH to intact rats produced a significant decrease in the conversion of [1-14C]linoleic acid to ...

Geometric Morphometrics Reveal Body Shape Variation in Freshwater Shrimps of the Genus Macrobrachium Lacking a Mandibular Palp (Formerly Pseudopalaemon Sollaud, 1911) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape variation in the cephalothorax of Macrobrachium species without mandibular palp using geometric morphometrics was used as a tool to support species differentiation and propose new diagnostic characters for taxonomic identification.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

ANTARCTICA AS BACKGROUND FOR MAMMALIAN EVOLUTION

open access: yesPublicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015
. Since the 1980's, a series of new Cretaceous-Paleogene land mammals has been found in southern continents. They drastically changed the traditional perspective of how mammals evolved all over the world, and particularly, how they evolved in the ...

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

LOS MAMÍFEROS DE LA FORMACIÓN FRAY BENTOS (EDAD MAMÍFERO DESEADENSE, OLIGOCENO SUPERIOR?) DE LAS PROVINCIAS DE CORRIENTES Y ENTRE RÍOS, ARGENTINA

open access: yesPublicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015
The Fray Bentos Formation, with outcrops in the Uruguayan and the Argentinean provinces of Corrientes and Entre Ríos, has yielded several fossil vertebrates, mainly mammals, that permit its reference to the Deseadan land-mammal age (upper Oligocene?). At
