Biotic interactions play an important role in maintaining biodiversity (Bascompte & Jordano, 2007; Muscarella et al., 2018), and neighbour are among the main forces shaping plant communities (Gavini 2019; Grant 2014). These one of spatial patterns, analysing such patterns can be a powerful approach to deduce processes determining community structure (Alados 2017; Dale, 1999). Such (e.g. dispers...

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are a largely understudied and untapped resource in the toolkit of protein degradation functionalities. They comprise large repertoire that remove ubiquitin from substrates variety cellular pathophysiological contexts, have enormous potential for research clinical use. It is only within last 5 years potent, selective, well-characterized small-molecule inhibitors ...

The species diversity and functional structural complexity associated with agroforestry systems provides natural pest control in the form of suppression levels by enemies without human intervention (Karp et al., 2013; Vandermeer & Perfecto, 2010). This is apparent, for example, when comparing to production a single or few annual crops open fields (Pumariño 2015; Rosati 2021). As such, has poten...

Tropical forests are highly diverse at many spatial scales. In these forests, small-sized canopy organisms can form species-rich communities already within a few cm2. Understanding how species numbers increase when expanding the sampling along tree and forest is critical for evaluating processes maintaining biodiversity. We therefore studied epiphytic bryophyte diversity in crowns trunks across...

We explore the effect of roads in animal mortality within Biodiversity Hotspot with highest number endemic species vertebrates on Earth, Tropical Andes. Our objectives were to know which are killed this particularly biodiversity-rich area and how landscape composition configuration influences roadkills. systematically looked for roadkills along that border three protected areas Ecuadorian To ev...

Ecological responses to environmental warming depend organisms’ physiological characteristics and extent which these can change in response increasing temperature (Chown et al., 2010). Beneficial be achieved via two interacting mechanisms: adaptive phenotypic plasticity evolutionary adaptation (Ghalambor 2007; Stamp & Hadfie...

Recent imaging studies have found activation in areas associated with motion processing and motor planning during a range of cognitive tasks involving tools. This has led some researchers to conclude that motor information is central to the conceptual representation of tools. To explore this hypothesis, we used a two-alternative forced-choice task to examine whether children and adults use moto...

Four experiments examined the nature of novice and expert representations for both surface features and principled (relational) properties of arithmetic equations. Experiment 1 used a forced-choice categorization task, in which surface features of equations (e.g., numbers) competed with principled properties of mathematics (associativity and commutativity). It was found that experts were more l...

A study was conducted to identify poor readers and to characterize weaknesses in their knowledge and use of story structure in comprehension and recall. Subjects were 80 year-3 children, 20 good readers and 60 poor readers. The poor readers were then divided into relatively homogeneous subgroups, using measures of language-reading comprehension, according to a numerical classification procedure...
