Confirmed Outbreaks of Streptococcosis Caused by Streptococcus agalactiae Serotype Ia in Nile Tilapia Culture From Campeche, MexicoNARA Subscribed
Streptococcus agalactiae was confirmed as the etiologic agent of streptococcosis in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) from Campeche, Mexico, during a cross‐sectional investigation of eight semi‐intensive farms (2021–2022) that yielded virulent strains in a challenge assay. Standard bacteriology, histopathology, API‐20 Strep phenotyping, one‐step PCR, and real‐time PCR confirmed S. agalactiae in five farms (62.5%). Gross a...
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...
Spatial Partitioning of Microbial Functional Potential Suggests Complex Nitrogen Cycling in a Subterranean EstuaryNARA Subscribed
Subterranean estuaries (STEs) are key bioreactors regulating the quantity and chemical composition of groundwater‐derived nitrogen (N) reaching coastal ecosystems. Yet, the microbial controls on N‐cycling within these groundwater–seawater mixing zones remain poorly understood. We investigated the spatio‐temporal variations in microbial communities and their N‐cycling potential within an alluvial Mediterranean STE with high N c...
Carpobrotus taxa benefit more from clonal integration in their non-native than native rangesNARA Subscribed
Understanding physiological integration in invasive clonal plants is relevant to invasion biology because resource transfer across ramets may allow alien plants to buffer spatial heterogeneity in their introduced areas. However, experimental evidence across native and non-native ranges is limited. Here, we tested whether physiological integration provides greater performance benefits to Carpobrotus taxa in non-native than nati...
Vaccine strategies for cancer prevention in Lynch syndrome: the potential of dendritic cell-based therapyNARA Subscribed
Cancer vaccines offer a promising strategy for cancer prevention, particularly in hereditary cancer syndromes such as Lynch syndrome (LS). LS is characterized by a high lifetime risk of developing various malignancies due to defects in DNA mismatch repair, leading to an accumulation of mutations, particularly frameshift insertion/deletions (indels) within microsatellite loci. These indels create shared tumour-specific neoantig...
Cytotoxic edema (CE) is a radiographic marker of early tissue injury in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) associated with poor outcomes, yet its mechanistic pathway remains unclear. We investigated whether intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) mediates the association between CE and outcomes. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the multicenter CLOT-VENUS registry, including acute CVT patients treated at two Comprehensiv...
Landslides impact and management on human settlements over 3000 years: the case of the Montilla Castle Hill (Córdoba, Spain)NARA Subscribed
In recent decades, global urbanisation has increased dramatically. The study of urbanised areas over the last millennium offers valuable insight into the long-term landslide hazards associated with human settlements. Anthropogenic environmental impact and urbanisation in southern Iberia began around 2200 yr BCE, rendering this region a unique location to examine interactions between building construction and landslide over mil...
Environmental Gradients Decouple Demographic and Adaptive Connectivity in a Highly Mobile Coastal Marine SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Understanding how eco‐evolutionary processes shape genetic variation and persistence in marine species with highly variable recruitment dynamics and dispersal potential remains a fundamental challenge, particularly when considering the interplay between gene flow and local adaptation. Here, we employed a seascape genomics approach to investigate population connectivity and local adaptation in Australasian snapper ( Chrysophrys...
Despite their potential to inform sustainable regional harvest and climate‐resilient fisheries management, spatial stock assessment models remain underused for management advice. To identify barriers that inhibit broader use of these methods, we conducted a blinded international simulation experiment mimicking real‐world stock assessment development when confronting spatial complexity. Seven analyst teams built spatially aggre...
This study investigated the effects of heat stress (HS), calving period, and farm-level management on the metabolic and productive responses of transition dairy cows. Conducted on three commercial farms in northwestern Spain, the study employed a multifactorial design across two seasons (winter and summer) and four peripartum time points. Biochemical parameters, including non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), β-hydroxybutyrate (BH...
