Gonatobotryum is an anamorphic fungus reported mainly as a saprophyte, parasite, or endophyte. The genus has traditionally been identified based on morphological features, with its phylogenetic placement remaining uncertain due to the lack of molecular data. During the analysis of fungi obtained from mangrove sediments in Brazil, nine isolates were morphologically identified as Gonatobotryum and subsequently analysed using the...
Viruses from wild plants may emerge as new economically important agricultural pathogens through spillover events. Blainvillea yellow spot virus ( Begomovirus blainvilleae , BlYSV) is a bipartite geminivirus which is ubiquitous in the non-cultivated plant Blainvillea rhomboidea . To better understand the ecological and evolutionary aspects of this virus, we sampled B. rhomboidea in three Brazilian states between 2020 and 2023....
Climate change scenarios differentially modulate the impact of invasion in a native macrophyte speciesNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion and climate change threaten freshwater ecosystems, potentially amplifying their impacts through interaction. However, empirical evidence on how future climate scenarios influence the invasion process and their interactive effects on native species remains limited. We conducted a full‐factorial experiment to evaluate the independent and interactive effects of Hydrilla verticillata invasion and future climate...
Environmental stress is a fundamental facet of life and a significant driver of natural selection in the wild. Gene expression diversity may facilitate adaptation to environmental changes, without necessary genetic change, but its role in adaptive divergence remains largely understudied in Neotropical systems. In Amazonian riparian forests, species distribution is predominantly influenced by species' waterlogging tolerance. Th...
Interaction Between Climate Change Scenarios and Biological Invasion Reveals Complex Cascading Effects in Freshwater EcosystemsNARA Subscribed
Climate change often facilitates biological invasions, leading to potential interactive impacts of these global drivers on freshwater ecosystems. Although climatic mitigation efforts may reduce the magnitude of these interactive impacts, we are still missing experimental evidence for such effects under multiple climate change scenarios within a multi‐trophic framework. To address this knowledge gap, we experimentally compared...
Wetlands store large amounts of C in biomass, sediments and water. A major C fraction is in the dissolved organic matter (DOM) with multiple regulatory functions. Patagonian wetlands undergo changes in the water cycle due to climate warming and lower precipitation, causing shorter hydroperiods and reduced landscape connectivity with effects on C budgets. This study focuses on the optical characterisation of the DOM of an ephem...
EurOP2E – the European Open Platform for Prescribing Education, a consensus study among clinical pharmacology and therapeutics teachersNARA Subscribed
Purpose Sharing and developing digital educational resources and open educational resources has been proposed as a way to harmonize and improve clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) education in European medical schools. Previous research, however, has shown that there are barriers to the adoption and implementation of open educational resources. The aim of this study was to determine perceived opportunities and barrier...
Evolutionary dynamics of bipartite begomoviruses revealed by complete genome analysisNARA Subscribed
Several key evolutionary events marked the evolution of geminiviruses, culminating with the emergence of divided (bipartite) genomes represented by viruses classified in the genus Begomovirus . This genus represents the most abundant group of multipartite viruses, contributing significantly to the observed abundance of multipartite species in the virosphere. Although aspects related to virus‐host interactions and evolutionary...
