Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Anthropogenic activities have a profound impact on ecosystems, threatening species and contributing to increased extinction rates. Among them are some Leporidae species, for which ecological data remains insufficient to support effective conservation. This study aimed to monitor the status of the volcano rabbit ( Romerolagus diazi ), eastern cottontail ( Sylvilagus floridanus ), and Mexican cottontail ( Sylvilagus cunicularius...
The use of diagnostic tools to assess the risks of chemicals to freshwater ecosystems: towards a unified evaluation frameworkNARA Subscribed
The risk assessment of chemicals relies on multiple tools to quantify the ecological responses of ecosystems to existing chemical pollution. These tools are broadly categorized into three major groups: toxic pressure assessments, bioassays, and ecological monitoring. Here, we examine the strengths and limitations of these approaches, their current level of implementation for freshwater ecosystems across Europe, and their abili...
Purpose Babesia species are tick-borne protozoan parasites which affect several animal species. Babesia spp. infections are significantly important for veterinary medicine, affecting a wide range of domestic animal species such as dogs, cattle, and horses. In Colombia, studies of Babesia spp. infections in domestic animals are scarce. Thus, the aim of the present study was to explore the circulation of these parasites among do...
Aim Plant functional traits can influence interaction outcomes between nurse and target plants through a “functional trait match”, which occurs when the traits of nurse plants ameliorate their environment, and target plants possess traits that allow them to benefit from this ameliorated environment. We investigated how the traits of putative nurse species affect interaction outcomes across global drylands and determined the fu...
Cucurbita ficifolia regulates the secretomes of adipocytes and macrophages in co-culture, breaking meta-inflammationNARA Subscribed
Cucurbita ficifolia’s fruit aqueous extract has been attributed with antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties, offering a promising alternative in addressing meta-inflammation. Meta-inflammation plays a pivotal role in the development of metabolic dysfunction, contributes to conditions such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. The interactions between adipocytes and macrophages within adipose tissue caus...
Comparative cytogenetics of Lachnaia species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) reveals a novel telomeric motif (TTTGG) in insectsNARA Subscribed
Cytogenetic analyses of Lachnaia hirta , Lachnaia tristigma , and Lachnaia vicina have revealed that all species show a similar karyotype with 2 n = 24 and a meioformula of 11 + Xy + . Despite this, their sex chromosomes show certain differences in morphology. All species exhibit pericentromeric heterochromatin on all autosomes and X chromosomes, with the Y chromosome being heterochromatic. The X and Y chromosomes carry the nu...
Changes in species composition and community structure during plant–pollinator community assemblyNARA Subscribed
The assembly of plant–pollinator communities has traditionally been explored from the perspective of species composition, often overlooking how interaction structure and the roles species play in their communities can change even when species composition remains constant. Here, we use 10 years of data to investigate the assembly of plant–pollinator networks in an intensively managed agricultural landscape. We compare the chara...
The Thumbless bat Furipterus horrens (Cuvier, 1828) (Chiroptera: Furipteridae) is a tiny insectivorous bat species that has not undergone comprehensive systematic revisions, as taxonomic studies about this species are only represented by the middle XIX century description of F. caerulescens Tomes, 1856. Concurrently there also has been no assessment on the genetic diversity within the species along its distribution. We analyze...
