The presence of an atavistic caniniform alveolus in Nothrotherium maquinense (Xenarthra, Folivora, Nothrotheriidae)NARA Subscribed
Sloths (Folivora) display remarkable morphological diversity yet share a highly conserved dental formula, whose occasional deviations offer key insights into their evolutionary history. Among nothrotheriids, Neogene species retained upper and lower caniniforms, whereas these teeth were lost in Pleistocene genera. Here we describe, for the first time, a poorly developed alveolus interpreted as an atavistic upper caniniform alve...
Among the main drivers of critical changes in marine environments is global warming, largely caused by anthropogenic activities. Growing evidence suggests that climate change is rapidly and detrimentally impacting ecosystems worldwide, challenging the survival of marine organisms, including corals. We carried out in-situ experiments to assess the effect of seasonal temperature changes on short-term injury responses of immune-r...
How does warmer sea water change the sensitivity of a Mediterranean thermophilic coral after immune-stimulation?NARA Subscribed
Anthropogenic climate change is warming sea water worldwide, pushing the limits of tolerance for marine organisms and driving a decline in biodiversity. The risk of thermal anomalies has increased particularly in the Mediterranean region over the last 30 yrs, where intense warming has been identified as one of the main stressors in coastal regions. To determine the influence of warmer conditions on the immunity of an endemic M...
Ambient and substrate energy influence decomposer diversity differentially across trophic levelsNARA Subscribed
The species‐energy hypothesis predicts increasing biodiversity with increasing energy in ecosystems. Proxies for energy availability are often grouped into ambient energy (i.e., solar radiation) and substrate energy (i.e., non‐structural carbohydrates or nutritional content). The relative importance of substrate energy is thought to decrease with increasing trophic level from primary consumers to predators, with reciprocal eff...
