Lahar simulation at active volcanoes of the Southern Andes: implications for hazard assessment
(Springer, 2015)
Lahars are catastrophic events that have the potential to cause the loss of life and damage to infrastructure over inhabited areas. Consequently the zoning of associated hazards is a critical task. We evaluated the lahar ...
Biocultural homogenization in Urban settings: Public knowledge of birds in city parks of Santiago, Chile
(MDPI AG, 2017)
An understudied consequence of growing urbanization is the rapid and concurrent loss of native biological and cultural diversity. Here, we measured the concordance between avian species richness in public green areas of ...
Characterization of a presymptomatic stage in a Drosophila Parkinson's disease model: Unveiling dopaminergic compensatory mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2017)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disorder characterized by several motor symptoms including shaking, rigidity, slow movement and difficult walking, which has been associated to the death of nigro-striatal ...
Synergistic interactions between phenolic compounds identified in grape pomace extract with antibiotics of different classes against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
Synergy could be an effective strategy to potentiate and recover antibiotics nowadays useless in clinical treatments against multi-resistant bacteria. In this study, synergic interactions between antibiotics and grape ...
Short timescale dynamics of phytoplankton in Fildes Bay, Antarctica
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2017)
Phytoplankton is responsible for most primary production in Antarctica, but the short timescale dynamics of its size structure and composition are poorly described and understood. The abundance and composition of phytoplankton ...
Transgenerational diapause as an avoidance strategy against bacterial pathogens in Caenorhabditis elegans
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017)
The dynamic response of organisms exposed to environmental pathogens determines their survival or demise, and the outcome of this interaction depends on the host’s susceptibility and pathogen-dependent virulence factors. ...
Effectiveness of interventions to prevent motorcycle injuries: systematic review of the literature
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS, 2017)
Globally, 49% of deaths from traffic crashes occur among vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. Approximately, a quarter of those killed are motorcyclists. The authors carried out a ...
Wing phosphorylation is a major functional determinant of the Lrs14-type biofilm and motility regulator AbfR1 in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)
In response to a variety of environmental cues, prokaryotes can switch between a motile and a sessile, biofilm-forming mode of growth. The regulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying this switch are largely ...
LeishDB: a database of coding gene annotation and non-coding RNAs in Leishmania braziliensis
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
Leishmania braziliensis is the etiological agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis, a disease with high public health importance, affecting 12 million people worldwide. Although its genome sequence was originally published in ...
Identification of Azadinium poporum (Dinophyceae) in the Southeast Pacific: Morphology, molecular phylogeny, and azaspiracid profile characterization
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
Azaspiracids (AZA), a group of lipophilic phycotoxins, are produced by some species of the marine dinophycean genus Azadinium. AZA have recently been detected in shellfish from the Southeast Pacific, however, AZA-producing ...
