Biogeographical regions are indispensable for addressing fundamental questions in biogeography, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, achieving accurate bioregionalization analyses for subterranean fauna remains a formidable challenge due to the scarcity of biological data. In this study, we combined GIS data on karst potential, geology, and tectonics, to delineate twelve geokarstic sectors across the Ibero-Balearic...

With few preventive strategies available against nodavirus (NNV) in aquaculture, therapeutic applications remain underexplored. This study aimed to peptide-based treatments disrupting critical stages of its viral life cycle. Thus, we designed and synthesized seven low-molecular-weight peptides (P1–P7) based on predicted binding regions of the capsid protein from the red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) genotype t...

Compared to the determination of exercise thresholds based on systemic changes in blood lactate concentrations or gas exchange data, the determination of breakpoints based on muscle oxygen saturation offers a valid alternative to provide specific information on muscle-derived thresholds. Our study explored the profiles and timing of the second muscle oxygenation threshold (MOT2) in different muscles. Twenty-six cyclists and tr...
