One-class land-cover classification using MaxEnt: the effect of modelling parameterization on classification accuracy
(PEERJ INC, 2019)
Multiple-class land-cover classification approaches can be inefficient when the main goal is to classify only one or a few classes. Under this scenario one-class classification algorithms could be a more efficient alternative. ...
Pleione: A tool for statistical and multi-objective calibration of Rule-based models
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Mathematical models based on Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) are frequently used to describe and simulate biological systems. Nevertheless, such models are often difficult to understand. Unlike ODE models, Rule-Based ...
Phenology determines the robustness of plant-pollinator networks
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Plant-pollinator systems are essential for ecosystem functioning, which calls for an understanding of the determinants of their robustness to environmental threats. Previous studies considering such robustness have focused ...
Whole Genome Sequence, Variant Discovery and Annotation in Mapuche-Huilliche Native South Americans
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Whole human genome sequencing initiatives help us understand population history and the basis of genetic diseases. Current data mostly focuses on Old World populations, and the information of the genomic structure of Native ...
Identification of functional signatures in the metabolism of the three cellular domains of life
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
In order to identify common and specific enzymatic activities associated with the metabolism of the three cellular domains of life, the conservation and variations between the enzyme contents of Bacteria, Archaea, and ...
RIP-MD: a tool to study residue interaction networks in protein molecular dynamics
(PEERJ INC, 2018)
Protein structure is not static; residues undergo conformational rearrangements and, in doing so, create, stabilize or break non-covalent interactions. Molecular dynamics (MD) is a technique used to simulate these movements ...
Signal peptide recognition in Trypanosoma cruzi GP82 adhesin relies on its localization at protein N-terminus
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, has a dense coat of GPI-anchored virulence factors. T. cruzi GPI-anchored adhesin GP82 is encoded by a repertoire of transcripts containing several in-frame initiation ...
Global ecological predictors of the soil priming effect
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Identifying the global drivers of soil priming is essential to understanding C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. We conducted a survey of soils across 86 globally-distributed locations, spanning a wide range of climates, ...
Seabird and pinniped shape soil bacterial communities of their settlements in Cape Shirreff, Antarctica
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Seabirds and pinnipeds play an important role in biogeochemical cycling by transferring nutrients from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Indeed, soils rich in animal depositions have generally high organic carbon, ...
Changes in belowground biodiversity during ecosystem development
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019)
Belowground organisms play critical roles in maintaining multiple ecosystem processes, including plant productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, however, we have a limited understanding ...
