Aim Plant functional traits can influence interaction outcomes between nurse and target plants through a “functional trait match”, which occurs when the traits of nurse plants ameliorate their environment, and target plants possess traits that allow them to benefit from this ameliorated environment. We investigated how the traits of putative nurse species affect interaction outcomes across global drylands and determined the fu...
The Vertebral Column of Flatfish: A ReviewNARA Subscribed
Flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) encompass fascinating fish species known for their high gastronomical value, rearing performances, and market prices, which attract both economic and scientific interest. Despite these attributes, flatfish exhibit unique morphological, developmental, and biological features, as well as distinctive swimming movements, which require special approaches in skeletal biology research, an area that remain...
NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos,...
Jaguar movement database: a GPS‐based movement dataset of an apex predator in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
The field of movement ecology has rapidly grown during the last decade, with important advancements in tracking devices and analytical tools that have provided unprecedented insights into where, when, and why species move across a landscape. Although there has been an increasing emphasis on making animal movement data publicly available, there has also been a conspicuous dearth in the availability of such data on large carnivo...
Aim We sought to determine if the present fragmentary distribution of the giant columnar cactus Echinopsis terscheckii in tropical drylands is a relict of a previously more widespread range during cold and dry phases of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Location Tropical and subtropical dry ecotonal areas of northern and central Andes of Argentina. Methods We combined ecological niche models (ENM) with molecular polymorphisms of...
ATLANTIC ‐ CAMTRAPS : a dataset of medium and large terrestrial mammal communities in the Atlantic Forest of South AmericaNARA Subscribed
Our understanding of mammal ecology has always been hindered by the difficulties of observing species in closed tropical forests. Camera trapping has become a major advance for monitoring terrestrial mammals in biodiversity rich ecosystems. Here we compiled one of the largest datasets of inventories of terrestrial mammal communities for the Neotropical region based on camera trapping studies. The dataset comprises 170 surveys...
New insight on vertebral anomalies in cultured Senegalese sole ( Solea senegalensis , Kaup) at early stages of developmentNARA Subscribed
Senegalese sole ( Solea senegalensis , Kaup) is a promising flatfish species in aquaculture. However, skeletal anomalies are still a great concern in sole farming. Investigation of this issue is crucial to improving larval quality and optimizing production. The aim of this study was to thoroughly assess anomalies in the rachis of reared sole at early developmental stages. Sole ( n = 507) were sampled at 31 or 32 days after hat...
The stress response of turbot Scophthalmus maximus was evaluated in fish maintained 8 days under different water depths, normal ( NWD , 30 cm depth, total water volume 40 l) or low ( LWD , 5 cm depth, total water volume 10 l), in the additional presence of infection–infestation of two pathogens of this species. This was caused by intraperitoneal injection of sublethal doses of the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmoni...
Immunohistochemical diagnosis of tenacibaculosis in paraffin‐embedded tissues of S enegalese sole S olea senegalensis K aup, 1858NARA Subscribed
A sensitive and specific immunohistochemical technique was developed to improve the diagnosis of tenacibaculosis and to better understand its pathogenesis. Senegalese sole S olea senegalensis K aup, 1858 were inoculated subcutaneously with a bacterial suspension of T enacibaculum maritimum, and samples were taken at different hours post‐inoculation. Sections from different organs were used as positive controls. In addition, a...
