Diel activity guild drives different mammal responses to fragmentation and degradation in the Amazon deforestation arcNARA Subscribed
Fragmentation and degradation have profound effects on species’ habitat use and activity patterns. According to their diel activity guild, species may respond differently to environmental change, with diurnal species expected to be more vulnerable to these changes. Here, we test this hypothesis by investigating how fragmentation, and degradation modulate the habitat use and overlap in diel activity of contrasting mammal diel a...
In vivo evaluation of the anti-inflammatory efficacy of liposomes loaded with Echinacea purpurea roots extractsNARA Subscribed
WHO ranked chronic inflammatory diseases as the most significant cause of death. The current therapeutic approach is the constant administration of clinically available anti-inflammatory drugs; however, this strategy presents severe side effects. New entities derived from plants have shown their potential for developing safe and effective therapies. Particularly, Echinacea purpurea extracts have demonstrated strong anti-inflam...
The sustainable supply of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ( n -3 LC-PUFA) remains a major challenge for global aquaculture. Although plant oils, microalgae, genetically modified crops, insects, krill, and fish by-products have been explored as alternative sources, none currently provides a stand-alone solution for meeting the growing demand of n -3 LC-PUFA in aquafeeds’ production. Here, we present marine gammarids...
Patterns and Drivers of Taxonomic and Functional Change in Large Oceanic Island Bird AssemblagesNARA Subscribed
Aim We map global patterns of taxonomic and functional change between past (pre‐human impacts) and present (after anthropogenic extinctions and introductions) in large oceanic island bird assemblages and investigate if these patterns can be explained by island characteristics and anthropogenic factors. Location Sixty‐four oceanic islands (>100 km 2 ). Time Period Late Holocene. Major Taxa Studied Terrestrial and freshwater bir...
