Within-lineage divergence of avian haemosporidians: a case study to reveal the origin of a widespread haemoproteus parasite
(BioOne, 2019)"Avian haemosporidian parasites are particularly diverse and widespread. To date, more than 3,000 distinct cytochrome b lineages have been recorded, of which some present extremely wide geographical distributions, even ... -
Towards a predictive framework for biocrust mediation of plant performance: a meta-analysis
(Wiley, 2019)"Understanding the importance of biotic interactions in driving the distribution and abundance of species is a central goal of plant ecology. Early vascular plants likely colonized land occupied by biocrusts - photoautotrophic, ... -
Improve in CO2 and CH4 adsorption capacity on carbon microfibers synthesized by electrospinning of PAN
(MDPI AG, 2019)"Carbon microfibers (CMF) has been used as an adsorbent material for CO2 and CH4 capture. The gas adsorption capacity depends on the chemical and morphological structure of CMF. The CMF physicochemical properties change ... -
Morphological differences of Turnera diffusa (Turneraceae) in two populations differing in rainfall at Northeastern Mexico
(Sociedad Botánica de México, 2019)Background. Plant morphology is the expression of a set of characteristics in response to environmental conditions and therefore to the availability of resources. Questions. Are the populations of Turnera diffusa ... -
Mechanisms of fasting-mediated protection against renal injury and fibrosis development after ischemic acute kidney injury
(MDPI AG, 2019)"Ischemia-reperfusion injury of the kidney may lead to renal fibrosis through a combination of several mechanisms. We recently demonstrated that fasting protects the rat kidney against oxidative stress and mitochondrial ... -
Diversity and deadwood-based interaction networks of saproxylic beetles in remnants of riparian cloud forest
(Public Library of Science, 2019)"We studied the saproxylic beetle community inhabiting deadwood in remnants of riparian cloud forests in "La Antigua" basin, in central Veracruz (Mexico). We assessed the influence of deadwood features (tree species, trunk ... -
Shifts in Climatic Niche Occupation in Astrophytum Coahuilense (H. Möller) Kayser and Its Potential Distribution in Mexico
(MDPI AG, 2019)"It has frequently been reported that species with strong niche conservatism will not be able to adapt to new climatic conditions, so they must migrate or go extinct. We have evaluated the shifts in climatic niche occupation ... -
Neuroprotective effects of ganoderma curtisii polysaccharides after kainic acid-seizure induced
(2019)"Background: Epilepsy is one of the major neurological disorders affecting world population. Although, some Ganoderma species have shown neuroprotective activities, the effects of polysaccharides isolated from Ganoderma ... -
Epiphytic orchids Stanhopea tigrina and Prosthechea cochleata are differentially affected by drought in a subtropical cloud forest
(Institute of Experimental Botany CAS, 2019)"We investigated the physiological responses of two epiphytic orchids under three light regimes of 20, 50, and 70% of total daily radiation under drought and rewatering conditions. Stanhopea tigrina was the one more affected ... -
Effects of experimental warming on peroxidase, nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase activities in wheat
(Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2019)"Given the effects of climate change and its significant consequences on plant productivity, it is necessary to evaluate the enzymatic responses of the most important crops such as wheat (Triticum durum L.). We examined ... -
