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...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...
Metabolic syndrome (MS) represents a major global health problem affecting a large proportion of the population. The improper management of peripheral carbohydrates and lipids leads to behavioral changes in neurons of the limbic brain. This work studied male rats that received diets high in carbohydrates, lipids, and their combination for ninety days. The study examined how peripheral metabolic changes and hypothalamic-pituita...
The presence of antibiotics in aquaculture wastewater poses environmental and public-health risks by disrupting aquatic ecosystems and promoting the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study evaluates pine-bark biochars activated under different atmospheres for the removal of tetracycline from real aquaculture wastewater and examines their combined use with peroxymonosulfate as an oxidant. The biochars were produced...
Feeding Specialisation Shapes Avian Functional Diversity Along a Tropical Rainforest Elevational GradientNARA Subscribed
Aim Avian functional diversity in montane systems has been scrutinised by researchers seeking to uncover deterministic processes driving community assembly. However, many tropical rainforests lack fully surveyed elevational gradients that could inform on functional ecology of avian assemblages. Here we expand global coverage of elevational trends in bird functional diversity to the third largest contiguous rainforest in the wo...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Untangling the Complexity of Climate Change Effects on Plant Reproductive Traits and Pollinators: A Systematic Global SynthesisNARA Subscribed
Climate change is expected to affect the morphological, physiological, and life‐history traits of plants and animal pollinators due to more frequent extreme heat and other altered weather patterns. This systematic literature review evaluates the effects of climate change on plant and pollinator traits on a global scale to determine how species responses vary among Earth's ecosystems, climate variables, taxonomic groups, and or...
Unravelling epigenetic mechanisms in Cerastoderma edule genome: a comparison of healthy and neoplastic cocklesNARA Subscribed
Cancer is a multifaceted genetic disease characterized by the acquisition of several essential hallmarks. Notably, certain cancers exhibit horizontal transmissibility, observed across mammalian species and diverse bivalves, the latter referred to as hemic neoplasia. Within this complex landscape, epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications and cytosine methylation emerge as fundamental contributors to the pathogenesis...
Shoot and Root Decomposition from Different Cropping Systems Under Semiarid Mediterranean ConditionsNARA Subscribed
Improving the management of crop residues is essential for water and soil conservation and for increasing soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) levels in dryland agroecosystems. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the decomposition dynamics and C and N released from crop residues from different cropping systems under semiarid Mediterranean conditions. A litterbag experiment was conducted from July of 2020 to June of 202...
