LAVA-Lobos: Raising Environmental Awareness through Community Science in the Galápagos Islands

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice, 2023
Community science involves scientists and community members co-creating and co-executing scientific research. Given their deep engagement of non-scientists, these projects have great potential to improve their participants’ scientific knowledge and pro ...

Beyond Transconductance: Cell‐Polymer Coupling Determines Fidelity in Action Potential Recording via Electrolyte‐Gated Polymer Transistors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High electrical performance alone does not guarantee efficient bioelectronic signal transduction. Despite excellent mixed ionic‐electronic conduction, recordings from cardiomyocytes reveal that p(g2T‐TT)‐based OECTs predominantly transduce field potential FP‐like signals due to weak cell‐polymer coupling.

Sealpox Virus in Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Facilities, North America, 2007–2009

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Sealpox, a zoonotic disease affecting pinnipeds (seals and sea lions), can occur among captive and convalescing animals. We surveyed 1 worker each from 11 marine mammal centers and interviewed 31 other marine mammal workers to ascertain their knowledge ...

Automatically Defining Protein Words for Diverse Functional Predictions Based on Attention Analysis of a Protein Language Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Understanding protein sequence–function relationships remains challenging due to poorly defined motifs and limited residue‐level annotations. An annotation‐agnostic framework is introduced that segments protein sequences into “protein words” using attention patterns from protein language models.

How Halide Segregation Governs the Ion Density Evolution and Ionic Performance Losses: From Degradation to Recovery

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Halide segregation (HS) in mixed‐halide wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskites is key to the stability of perovskite‐based tandem cells and a central focus of large‐scale research efforts. Here, we find that the underlying reason for the poor stability of cells prone to HS is enhanced ionic losses during operation. Furthermore, we identified irreversible ionic

Death seasonality determination from pinnipeds teeth: the Cueva del Negro site case (Argentine Patagonia)

Arqueologia, 2019
In this article, we present the first results of the determination of season at death performed over eighteen South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) teeth recovered at Cueva del Negro site (northern coast of the Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia ...

How Does Cultural and Colonial Heritage Affect Optimal Branding Strategies? Evidence From the Rice Sector in Senegal

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

Ancient female philopatry, asymmetric male gene flow, and synchronous population expansion support the influence of climatic oscillations on the evolution of South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens).

PLoS ONE, 2017
The South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) is widely distributed along the southern Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America with a history of significant commercial exploitation.

Microplastics in the Mediterranean: Variability From Observations and Model Analysis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In this study, the abundance and properties (size, shape, and polymer type) of microplastics (MPs) in sea surface water samples, collected during two sampling campaigns over 2018–2019, in four coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea (Saronikos Gulf ...
