Integrative diagnosis and review of the conservation status of a Near Threatened species of the “Psalidodon scabripinnis complex”

Neotropical Ichthyology
Abstract The integration between morphological and barcode datasets allowed the discovery of new populations of Psalidodon cremnobates, expanding the distribution of this species to the Mampituba River drainage, municipality of Cambará do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and letting a review of the classification of extinction risk.

Balanced Expression of the Diiron Oxygenase BioE Is Essential for Biotin Homeostasis in Elizabethkingia meningoseptica

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BioE is a new diiron oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of long‐chain acyl groups into pimeloyl thioester, initiating biotin synthesis. The overexpression of EmBioE disrupts lipid metabolic homeostasis, requiring repressor BioL to maintain a balance between long‐chain fatty acids and biotin synthesis.

Building large-scale spatially explicit models to predict the distribution of suitable habitat patches for the Greater rhea (Rhea americana), a near-threatened species

Biological Conservation, 2010
Abstract We developed large-scale spatially explicit models to predict the distribution of suitable habitat patches for the Greater rhea ( Rhea americana ), a near-threatened species, in two areas of central Argentina with different land use: a grassland area (ca. 4943 km 2 ) mainly devoted to cattle grazing and an agro-ecosystem area (ca. 4006 km 2 )

Precision Editing of NLRS Improves Effector Recognition for Enhanced Disease Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Precision engineering of plant NLR immune receptors enables rational design of enhanced pathogen resistance through mismatched pairing, domain swapping, and targeted mutagenesis. These approaches achieve multi‐fold expansion in recognition breadth while minimizing autoimmunity risks and fitness penalties.
