The Iberian killer whale subpopulation was assessed as critically endangered (CR) by the IUCN red list of threatened species based on the available information until 2011 on its low abundance, high newborn mortality, and dependency on the endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna. The present study focuses on updating the subpopulation demographic parameters between 2011 and 2023. Data were based on photo‐identification and stranding r...
Hidden in the gut: Metabarcoding reveals overlooked predation by the invasive European catfish ( Silurus glanis )NARA Subscribed
Morphological and metabarcoding analyses provided new insights into the diet of the European catfish ( Silurus glanis ) in an invaded area in the Iberian Peninsula. Out of 264 S. glanis examined, data were obtained for 173 individuals through metabarcoding of intestinal contents and for 110 through morphological analysis of stomach contents. Metabarcoding consistently identified more prey taxa per sample than morphological ana...
SUMOylation of rice DELLA SLR1 modulates transcriptional responses and improves yield under salt stressNARA Subscribed
Main conclusion SUMOylation of SLR1 at K2 protects productivity under salt stress, possibly by modulation of SLR1 interactome. Abstract DELLA proteins modulate GA signaling and are major regulators of plant plasticity to endure stress. DELLAs are mostly regulated at the post-translational level, and their activity relies on the interaction with upstream regulators and transcription factors (TFs). SUMOylation is a post-translat...
Blockage of the adenosine A2B receptor prevents cardiac fibroblasts overgrowth in rats with pulmonary arterial hypertensionNARA Subscribed
Sustained pressure overload and fibrosis of the right ventricle (RV) are the leading causes of mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Although the role of adenosine in PAH has been attributed to the control of pulmonary vascular tone, cardiac reserve, and inflammatory processes, the involvement of the nucleoside in RV remodelling remains poorly understood. Conflicting results exist on targeting the low-affinity ad...
Relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis patients exhibit differential natural killer functional subpopulationsNARA Subscribed
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and has been known as T-cell mediated. However, the contribution of multiple cell types, notably natural killer (NK) cells, has also been reported. Aim To quantify circulating total NK cells and its subpopulations, CD56 dim and bright, and to characterize the functional phenotype and IFN-γ and TNF-α production in relapsing–...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugalNARA Subscribed
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information o...
