Muscle architecture and functional anatomy of the extrinsic thoracic limb muscles in a semiarboreal xenarthran (Tamandua mexicana)NARA Subscribed
Tamandua mexicana is a mammal belonging to Xenarthrans, with high interest in medicine, conservation, and evolutionary studies. It has semiarboreal locomotion with specific adaptations to allow its movement on different substrates. To carry out this type of locomotion, the extrinsic muscles that allow scapular stabilization as well as retraction and protraction movements are essential. Despite their importance, no studies have...
The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...
The novelty of this study lies in the integration of fermentation in a magnetically stabilized fluidized bed bioreactor with S. cerevisiae supported on calcium alginate with magnetic particles and using levoglucosan, a pyrolytic sugar from sugarcane bagasse, as a substrate for bioethanol production. Sugarcane bagasse was pretreated with acetic acid to remove alkali/alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) aiming to intensify levoglucosan...
Despite highly effective prevention strategies, breast and cervical cancer are among the leading causes of cancer morbidity and mortality in medically underserved and racial/ethnic women. This study tested the effect of the Kin Keeper SM (KK) intervention, a family-focused, educational intervention, on improvement of breast and cervical cancer health literacy and screening behavior among African American, Latina, and Arab wome...
Density distribution of the charismatic Kagu to guide conservation of endangered endemic rainforest species in New CaledoniaNARA Subscribed
The Kagu ( Rhynochetos jubatus ) is an endangered endemic bird and emblem of New Caledonia, thus an ideal flagship species for conservation management and planning of protected areas on Grande Terre, the main island. We assessed the density distribution of Kagu by combining results of analyses at two spatial scales. At the local scale, we estimated density in two protected Kagu strongholds. At the island-wide scale, we modelle...
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...
Traditional histopathology, characterized by manual quantifications and assessments, faces challenges such as low-throughput and inter-observer variability that hinder the introduction of precision medicine in pathology diagnostics and research. The advent of digital pathology allowed the introduction of computational pathology, a discipline that leverages computational methods, especially based on deep learning (DL) technique...
Co‐mast: Harmonized seed production data for woody plants across US long‐term research sitesNARA Subscribed
Plants display a range of temporal patterns of inter‐annual reproduction, from relatively constant seed production to “mast seeding,” the synchronized and highly variable interannual seed production of plants within a population. Previous efforts have compiled global records of seed production in long‐lived plants to gain insight into seed production, forest and animal population dynamics, and the effects of global change on m...

Downstream passage performance of silver eel at an angled rack: effects of behavior and morphologyNARA Subscribed
The European eel is critically endangered due to heavy impact of anthropogenic factors, such as habitat fragmentation, overexploitation and climate change. During downstream migration, silver eels may encounter hydropower plants, which often result in delay or mortality from impingement on trash-racks or turbine passage. These problems can be mitigated with downstream passage solutions, such as angled racks that guide downstre...
Microclimate, an important part of ecology and biogeographyNARA Subscribed
Brief introduction: What are microclimates and why are they important? Microclimate science has developed into a global discipline. Microclimate science is increasingly used to understand and mitigate climate and biodiversity shifts. Here, we provide an overview of the current status of microclimate ecology and biogeography in terrestrial ecosystems, and where this field is heading next. Microclimate investigations in ecology...
