Biogeographical variation in antimicrobial resistance in rivers is influenced by agriculture and is spread through bacteriophages
(WILEY, 2022)
Antibiotic resistance is currently an extensive medical challenge worldwide, with global numbers increasing steadily. Recent data have highlighted wastewater treatment plants as a reservoir of resistance genes. The impact ...
Padrões globais e preditores da diversidade beta taxonômica e funcional em assembleias de peixes recifais
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilCiências BiológicasUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biodiversidade AnimalCentro de Ciências Naturais e Exatas, 2020-03-11)
One of the main focuses of macroecological studies is to understand the spatial variation and,
in addition, to evaluate which are the predictors that shape this variation among terrestrial,
freshwater and marine ecosystems. ...
Disentangling the environmental heterogeneity, floristic distinctiveness and current threats of tropical dry forests in Colombia
(2018)
Tropical dry forests (TDFs) have been defined as a single biome occurring mostly in the lowlands where there is a marked period of drought during the year. In the Neotropics, dry forests occur across contrasting biogeographical ...
Investigating South American biogeographic history using patterns of skull shape variation on Cerdocyon thous (Mammalia: Canidae)
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009)
Patterns of geographic variation of the canid Cerdocyon thous have historically been obscured by its remarkable intraspecific morphological variability. The observed distribution is highly associated with phytophysiognomy, ...
Heat stress effects on reproductive traits in cultivated and wild sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.): evidence for local adaptation within the wild germplasm
(Springer, 2018-08-01)
Heat stress (HS) is a major threat to current and future crop production. Crop improvement for HS tolerance is a major tool for dealing with HS and crop wild relatives (CWR) offer the greatest variability for such improvement. ...
Geographic mosaics of plant–soil microbe interactions in a global plant invasion
(Blackwell, 2012)
Aim Our aim in this study was to document the global biogeographic variation
in the effects of soil microbes on the growth of Centaurea solstitialis (yellow
starthistle; Asteraceae), a species that has been introduced ...
The spatial variation in ant species composition and functional groups across the Subantarctic-Patagonian transition zone
(Springer, 2013-06)
The role of ecotones in the maintenance of species diversity is rather controversial; they may represent either biodiversity hotspots with unique and rare forms, or be transitional areas that hold marginal populations of ...
Non-native conditions favor non-native populations of invasive plant: demographic consequences of seed size variation?
(Wiley, 2013-04)
Trait differences between native and non-native populations may explain the greater abundance and impact of some organisms in their non-native ranges than in their native ranges. Here, we conducted reciprocal common gardens ...
Systematic, biogeographic and microhabitat-based morphometric variation of the bivalve Anomalocardia squamosa (Bivalvia: Veneridae: Chioninae) in Thailand
(Natl Univ Singapore, 2008-08)
The venerid genus Anomalocardia is tropical American in origin, yet has a distribution spanning the tropical western Atlantic to western Pacifi c oceans. This distribution makes it the most widespread genus of the monophyletic, ...
