The impact of earthquake-induced debris on the near-field tsunami pedestrian mobility and safety: Tumaco Island case of studyNARA Subscribed
Near-field tsunami evacuation planning depends on urban mobility, which can be severely impacted by earthquake-induced debris obstructing evacuation routes. However, most models overlook this factor, underestimating evacuation times. This study presents a comprehensive GIS-based methodology that integrates seismic damage and debris accumulation into pedestrian evacuation modelling. The methodology proposed was applied to Tumac...
Exploring the local nexus between human development and environmental sustainability: a case study from ColombiaNARA Subscribed
Evaluating the local nexus between human development (HD) and environmental sustainability (ES) can guide and inform policy and planning. This evaluation is particularly relevant in tropical countries, characterised by interactions among high biodiversity, monetary poverty, social inequalities, and environmental degradation. The aim of this paper is to analyse the HD–ES nexus across various municipalities in Colombia, situatin...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Background The antimicrobial activity of two peptides, Uy234 derived from the venom of the scorpion Urodacus yaschenkoi and a consensus peptide QnCs-Buap, was evaluated. We tested different pathogenic bacteria: Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella enterica, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus spp. and Staphylococcus aureus , including one methicillin resistant (MRSA) and two multidrug resistant (MDR) clinical...
Scorpion venoms have proven to be excellent sources of antimicrobial agents. However, although many of them have been functionally characterized, they remain underutilized as pharmacological agents, despite their evident therapeutic potential. In this review, we discuss the physicochemical properties of short scorpion venom antimicrobial peptides (ssAMPs). Being generally short (13–25 aa) and amidated, their proven antimicrobi...
Cork oak woodlands and decline: a social-ecological review and future transdisciplinary approachesNARA Subscribed
Cork oak woodlands are socio-ecosystems recognized as biodiversity hotspots, a fundamental economic source for companies and local communities as well as an identitarian landscape for residents and visitors. Cork oak woodlands, however, are facing tree mortality and lack of regeneration. Considering the oak decline scenario, we present Iberian cork oak montado/dehesa as a socio-ecosystem facing climate change, management trans...
Mechanical and hydraulic properties of unsaturated layered pyroclastic ashes in landslide-prone areas of Campania (Italy)NARA Subscribed
Air-fall pyroclastic soil deposits usually display a loose fabric composed of alternating layers of ashes and pumices. Such deposits, when lying on steep slopes, represent a major geohazard due to the occurrence of landslides. This is the case of the carbonate massifs in Campania (southern Italy), a wide landslide-prone area of approximately 400 km 2 covered with pyroclastic soils. In such cohesionless deposits, the additional...
Population divergence associated with spatial asynchrony in precipitation in Neotropical frogsNARA Subscribed
Aim The role that geography plays in promoting speciation by spatially isolating populations has been studied extensively, but less attention has been devoted to assessing the role of isolation by time mediated by spatial variation in climate as a mechanism promoting population divergence. Gene flow between populations differing in their reproductive schedules might be reduced relative to that between populations with overlapp...
