Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Traditionally abiotic factors are considered the main drivers of biodiversity at macro‐scales, whereas biotic factors are considered important almost only at local scales. Modeling the distribution of 177 African bat species, we demonstrated the importance of considering biotic interactions in SDMs at macro‐scales regardless of the species’ ecology ...

Hα Distances to the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The Leading Arm (LA) is a tidal feature that is in front of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) on their orbit through the Galaxy’s halo. Many physical properties of the LA, such as its mass and size, are poorly constrained because it has few distance ...

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 1-2, January-February 2023., 2023 Abstract Star‐forming and starburst galaxies (SBGs), which are well‐known cosmic‐ray (CR) reservoirs, are expected to emit gamma rays and neutrinos predominantly via hadronic collisions. In this work we analyze the 10‐year Fermi‐Low Energy Technique (LAT) spectral energy distributions of 13 nearby galaxies by means of a physical model that accounts for

Behavioural responses by a bumble bee to competition with a niche‐constructing congener
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 3, Page 580-592, March 2022., 2022 Nectar robbing by flower‐biting bumble bees constitutes ecological niche construction if robbing holes persist and intensify nectar competition experienced by non‐biting, bystander flower visitors. In response, bystanders can tolerate robbing, switch plant species or adopt robbing, perhaps partially compensating for exploitative competition associated ...

Belgica antarctica (Diptera: Chironomidae): A natural model organism for extreme environments
Insect Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 2-20, February 2022., 2022 We provide information on Belgica antarctica, which allows us to consider the species as a natural model organism to study adaptation and functioning in extreme conditions. Abstract Belgica antarctica (Diptera: Chironomidae), a brachypterous midge endemic to the maritime Antarctic, was first described in 1900.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 14, Page 9191-9197, July 2021., 2021 Birds are known to act as potential vectors for the exogenous dispersal of bryophyte diaspores. Given the totipotency of vegetative tissue of many bryophytes, birds could also contribute to endozoochorous bryophyte dispersal. We evaluated the role of endozoochory in two herbivorous and sympatric bird species in sub‐Antarctic Chile and hypothesized that

The stellar component of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1978 The problem of the Magellanic Stream (MS) is re-examined considering also stellar systems (globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies) lying between 25 and 250 kpc from the Galactic center (Kunkel and Demers 1976). the distribution of these systems is shown to be non-random, with a planar component whose inclination to the Local Group is 43°, and ...

COOL GAS IN THE MAGELLANIC STREAM [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 We present the first direct detection of cold atomic gas in the Magellanic Stream, through 21 cm line absorption toward a background radio source, J0119 - 6809, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Two absorption components were identified at heliocentric velocities 218.6 km/s and 227.0 km/s, with optical depths of tau ~ 0.02. The corresponding

The Large Magellanic Cloud’s ∼30 kpc Bow Shock and Its Impact on the Circumgalactic Medium
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The interaction between the supersonic motion of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is expected to result in a bow shock that leads the LMC’s gaseous disk.

Discovery of a Disrupting Open Cluster Far into the Milky Way Halo: A Recent Star Formation Event in the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream? [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 We report the discovery of a young ( ), low-mass ( ), metal-poor ( ) stellar association at a heliocentric distance , placing it far into the Milky Way (MW) halo.
