High similarity in the microbiota of cold-water sponges of the Genus Mycale from two different geographical areas
(PEERJ INC, 2018)
Sponges belonging to genus Mycale are common and widely distributed across the oceans and represent a significant component of benthic communities in term of their biomass, which in many species is largely composed by ...
Maintaining close canopy cover prevents the invasion of Pinus radiata: Basic ecology to manage native forest invasibility
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Pine invasion is a global threat that is occurring in native forests of diverse regions of the world. This process is arising in a scenario of rapid forest deforestation and degradation. Therefore, elucidate which forests ...
Species traits and network structure predict the success and impacts of pollinator invasions
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Species invasions constitute a major and poorly understood threat to plant-pollinator systems. General theory predicting which factors drive species invasion success and subsequent effects on native ecosystems is particularly ...
Ion implantation in nanodiamonds: size effect and energy dependence
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Nanoparticles are ubiquitous in nature and are increasingly important for technology. They are subject to bombardment by ionizing radiation in a diverse range of environments. In particular, nanodiamonds represent a variety ...
Uptake and persistence of bacterial magnetite magnetosomes in a mammalian cell line: Implications for medical and biotechnological applications
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Magnetotactic bacteria biomineralize intracellular magnetic nanocrystals surrounded by a lipid bilayer called magnetosomes. Due to their unique characteristics, magnetite magnetosomes are promising tools in Biomedicine. ...
Temporal and spatial dynamics of Bacteria, Archaea and protists in equatorial coastal waters
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Singapore, an equatorial island in South East Asia, is influenced by a bi-annual reversal of wind directions which defines two monsoon seasons. We characterized the dynamics of the microbial communities of Singapore coastal ...
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent internalization and Rab5-dependent endocytic sorting mediate long-distance retrograde neuronal death induced by axonal BDNF-p75 signaling
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
During the development of the sympathetic nervous system, signals from tropomyosin-related kinase receptors (Trks) and p75 neurotrophin receptors (p75) compete to regulate survival and connectivity. During this process, ...
The fecal, oral, and skin microbiota of children with Chagas disease treated with benznidazole
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Background Chagas disease is still prevalent in rural areas of South America. In endemic areas of Bolivia, school children are screened for the program of Chagas disease eradication of the Ministry of Health, and positive ...
Integrated genomic epidemiology and phenotypic profiling of Clostridium difficile across intra-hospital and community populations in Colombia
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Clostridium difficile, the causal agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, has a complex epidemiology poorly studied in Latin America. We performed a robust genomic and phenotypic profiling of 53 C. difficile clinical ...
Hydroclimatic variations reveal differences in carbon capture in two sympatric conifers in northern Mexico
(PEERJ INC, 2019)
Background. Forest ecosystems are considered among the largest terrestrial carbon sinks. The dynamics of forest carbon depend on where the carbon is stored and its responses to environmental factors, as well as the physiology ...
