Patterns in Plant Species Diversity and Composition of a Restored Nature‐Based Solutions Floodplain

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Floodplains are simultaneously among the most ecologically important and most severely impacted ecosystems in the world, with hydro‐morphological alteration of riverine systems leading to declines in biodiversity. The loss of floodplain ecosystems worldwide increased interest in restoration projects throughout the world, centred around the ...

Single‐cell and spatial omics unravel the spatiotemporal biology of tumour border invasion and haematogenous metastasis

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Some tumours establish immunosuppressive and stromal barriers at their boundaries while enhancing oxidative phosphorylation and lipid metabolism to sustain their invasive potential. Additionally early evolving premalignant clones are able to cross histologic boundaries, possessing some genomic CNV features but not presenting cytomorphic changes ...

Spatial overlap of palm trees and triatomine distribution areas in Brazil

Scientific Reports
Trypanosoma cruzi transmission occurs in the sylvatic environment, requiring a profound understanding of the interaction between triatomines and their natural ecotopes.

The Triatomines of Northern Peru, with Emphasis on the Ecology and Infection by Trypanosomes of Rhodnius ecuadoriensis (Triatominae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Information on the distribution and synanthropic behaviour of triatomines is essential for Chagas disease vector control. This work summarises such information from northern Peru, and presents new data on Rhodnius ecuadoriensis - an important local ...

Phenotypic divergence of Glossina morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark‐based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population‐level variation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Phlebotomus papatasi sand fly predicted salivary protein diversity and immune response potential based on in silico prediction in Egypt and Jordan populations.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Phlebotomus papatasi sand flies inject their hosts with a myriad of pharmacologically active salivary proteins to assist with blood feeding and to modulate host defenses.

Variation in Community Structure and Abundance of Fish in Simple Structured Shallow Sandy Habitats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
We characterised the fish community structure in simple structured sandy surf zones of the northern Baltic Sea and related variation in fish abundance and community structure to a set of chosen abiotic variables. Our results show that spatio‐temporal changes in total abundance and community structure of resident fish are mainly driven by the variation ...

Aspectos ecológicos da tripanossomíase americana: XI - domiciliação de Panstrongylus megistus e potencial enzoótico Ecological aspects of South American Trypanosomiasis: XI - domiciliation of Panstrongylus megistus and its enzootic potential

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1977
Foram observadas algumas características de populações locais de Panstrongylus megistus e de mamíferos domiciliados e silvestres. Confirmou-se o papel das matas residuais na permanência local da população triatomínica, bem como o caráter agrupado da ...

Sediment dynamics shape macrofauna mobility traits and abundance on tidal flats

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 10, Page 2278-2293, October 2024.
Abstract Tidal flats are valuable ecosystems that depend on complex biogeomorphic processes between organisms and sediment transport. Climate change has led to a rise in extreme weather events, such as storms. This, in turn, has increased sediment dynamics and created risks for the benthic communities inhabiting tidal flats.

Evaluating the feasibility of using plant‐specific metabarcoding to assess forest types from soil eDNA

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 27, Issue 4, October/December 2024.
Environmental DNA is increasingly used for biodiversity assessments. Can eDNA be used to assess vegetation and forest types? This study assessed forest types using soil eDNA and identified 59 plant species. Comparisons between soil eDNA and theoretical forest‐type compositions showed moderate correspondence.
