Consistent topsoil carbon density and driving factors in urban greenspaces and natural ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Background Urban greenspaces have the potential to mitigate urban carbon footprints by storing soil organic carbon (SOC). Different management and plant communities associated with different types of urban greenspaces may hold contrasting SOC, as well as different proportions of particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC). In addition, management could outweigh the effects of climate or soil properties as dr...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Rorquals and sperm whales are top predators of complex open ocean food webs and, although mesopelagic fish and cephalopods are predated upon by these cetaceans, the contribution of these prey groups to the whales' diet is not fully understood. Here, we aimed to better describe the consumption of mesopelagic prey by identifying targeted species at mid‐latitudes. We analyzed the prey availability and predator preferences by comp...
The Missing Global South in Climate Change Biology: Towards Equitable Knowledge Inclusion for Effective Global SolutionsNARA Subscribed
Over the last decades, climate change biology has become a central field in global science, yet knowledge production and its inclusion in global strategies remain profoundly unequal. Our bibliometric analysis of over 580,000 records shows that ~80% of author affiliations come from Global North institutions, meaning that research agendas, theoretical frameworks, and priorities are still largely shaped outside the regions with t...
A New Neotropical Species of Gnathostoma (Nematoda: Gnathostomatidae) from the Northern Four-Eyed Opossum Philander vossi (Marsupialia)NARA Subscribed
Purpose This work provides a detailed morphological description of a previously identified but unnamed lineage inside Gnathostoma spp. from Mexico. Methods Specimens of the four-eyed opossum Philader vossi were collected in Tlacotalpan, Veracruz, Mexico. Specimens were examined morphologically using both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, we generate DNA sequences for the following loci: mitochond...
Effects of simulated climate change on soil characteristics under Carpobrotus edulis invasion in a coastal backduneNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Along coastal habitats worldwide, Carpobrotus edulis is a highly invasive and detrimental species, that acts as an ecosystem engineer by modifying many soil properties for its own benefit. However, the combined effects of C. edulis and climate change on soil characteristics remain largely unknown. Methods To address this knowledge gap, we set up a factorial field experiment with five treatments and eight re...
Genetic Diversity and Anatoxin Profiles of Freshwater Benthic Cyanobacteria From Nova Scotia (Canada)NARA Subscribed
Some mat‐forming cyanobacteria produce harmful cyanotoxins, yet benthic species remain understudied compared to planktonic counterparts. This study assesses the diversity, distribution and toxin production of mat‐forming cyanobacteria across lentic and lotic systems in Nova Scotia, Canada. We documented greater cyanobacterial species richness in lentic environments, with six dominant species distributed into two major Microcol...
Changes in biomarkers of the redox status in whole blood and red blood cell lysates in canine hypothyroidismNARA Subscribed
Hypothyroidism is the most commonly diagnosed endocrine disease in dogs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in the redox status in canine hypothyroidism using whole blood (WB) and red blood cell (RBCs) lysates. For this purpose, a panel of five antioxidants and five oxidants biomarkers was measured in WB and RBCs lysates of 30 dogs with hypothyroidism, 26 dogs with non-thyroidal illnesses and 15 healthy do...
Nucleotide metabolism in common bean pods during seed filling phase reveals the essential role of seed coatsNARA Subscribed
Common bean is a legume with high demand for human consumption and with high protein content on its seeds. The seed filling stage is a crucial step to obtain high-quality seeds with a good level of nutrients. For this, it is necessary for a correct communication between the different seed compartments. Nucleotides are essential components with nitrogen and phosphorous on its molecules, and its metabolism in seed development ha...
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
