A rapid inventory of amphibians, squamates, and bats of Mata de Plátano Field Station and Nature Reserve, Arecibo, Puerto Rico. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe perform a rapid survey of amphibians, reptiles, and bats at the Mata de Plátano Field Station and Nature Reserve in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, a protected reserve adjacent to a larger forest. Our rapid survey resulted in finding 70%, 14%, and 22% of the amphibians, reptiles, and bat fauna, respectively, highlighting that smaller areas can act as refuges ...

Rapid taxonomic categorization of short, abundant virus sequences for ecological analyses. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe sampled 1086 bats from two, adjacent Puerto Rican caves and tested them for infection by herpesviruses, resulting in 3131 short, viral sequences. Using percent identity of nucleotides and a machine learning algorithm (affinity propagation), we categorized herpesviruses into 43 operational taxonomic units (OTUs).

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 5609-5620, September 2023., 2023 The paper addresses the hypothesis that using green extraction techniques may provide time, cost, and energy saving compared to traditional methods. We show that using ohmic (OHAE)‐ and microwave‐assisted extraction (MAE) techniques for Fuerte avocado pruning waste leaves phenolics provides less solvent consumption and better extraction efficiency with

Navigating power in conservation
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 This paper offers an overview of core power theories that are relevant to conservation research and practice and provides examples of how power operates in conservation drawing on literature and three supporting case studies. Finally, the paper then provides six guiding principles for better power analysis and uptake in conservation research and ...

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Opuntia stricta (Haw.) Haw. is well adapted to arid and semiarid regions and has great potential for industrialisation. One‐ to four‐year‐old cladodes of this species harvested in Drâa‐Tafilalet region in the southeast of Morocco, were characterised by examining physical and physicochemical parameters. Their bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity

Thapsigargin blocks electromagnetic field‐elicited intracellular Ca2+ increase in HEK 293 cells
Physiological Reports, Volume 10, Issue 9, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have previously been identified for cellular proliferation and changes in expression and conduction of diverse types of ion channels. The major effect elicited by EMFs seems to be directed toward Ca2+ homeostasis.

Somatic embryogenesis in plantain cultivar 'FHIA - 25' (AAB) from meristem tips
Revista Colombiana de Biotecnología, 2015 Plantain cultivar 'FHIA – 25' (AAB) shows high yielding qualities and high resistance to Black Sigatoka disease, but its sugar content in the fruit is low, so a regeneration method at cell level is necessary, such as somatic embryogenesis supported by ...
