Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that environmental filtering is the primary mechanism shaping bat communities across the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone. By integrating phylogenetic diversity, environmental gradients, and coevolutionary assembly models, our study provides new insights into the processes maintaining biodiversity in a globally important transition zone ...

Modelos experimentales in vivo de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal y cáncer colorrectal: Conceptos, modelos actuales y aplicabilidad In vivo experimental models of inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer

Nutrición Hospitalaria, 2007
No existe un modelo animal ideal para el estudio de patologías humanas como la EII o el CCR. En la última década, a los modelos inducidos por agentes exógenos se han incorporado los animales manipulados genéticamente.

Hospitaller Revenues, Bourbon Regalism: The Financial Administration of the Grand Priory of Castile and León under an American Parvenu

History, EarlyView.
Abstract After the vicissitudes of the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–14), the consolidation of the Bourbon Monarchy in early eighteenth‐century Spain allowed Philip V's ministry to implement the so‐called Nueva Planta in his various kingdoms and lordships of the Crown of Aragon, but also in Castile.

Framings of Intervention in Spain: From the Civil War to the Franco Dictatorship

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the role of foreign intervention in the Spanish Civil War, the word intervención rarely appeared in contemporary media and official discourse. This article examines the expressions that Republican and rebel authorities used to represent the presence of outside forces in Spain.

Desarrollo de modelo experimental animal de peritonitis bacteriana

, 2020
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to develop a model of abdominal sepsis in the experimental animal. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sprague-Dawley male rats of 5 weeks (N=39) were used. Initially, a pilot study (N = 9) was performed and distributed in 3 groups with 1cc inoculum of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 intraperitoneally at concentrations of 10(8), 10(9)

Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.
