Ambient temperature strongly affects an ecosystem's characteristics as well as the attributes of individuals, eventually determining the distribution of populations and species. Phenotypic plasticity plays a central role ...

The patterns of genetic and phenotypic diversity in marine life are the result of different geological and ecological processes. We analyzed the pattern of genetic and morphometric variation of the razor clam Ensis macha ...

In the Gran Chaco region of Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay, vector transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, is still a severe problem because, among other causes, houses are reinfested ...

Premise of the study: Phenotypic acclimation of individual plants and genetic differentiation by natural selection within invasive populations are two potential mechanisms that may confer fi tness advantages and allow ...

Introduced species may face very different environmental conditions in their new habitat compared to their original distribution. Phenotypic plasticity is one trait that may allow introduced species to spread into new ...

Bioprospective studies of endophytic microorganisms for biotechnological applications are essentials to discovery new substances, which can be used in different areas. Endophytes represent an excellent source of bioactive ...

Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii é uma espécie formadora de florações potencialmente tóxicas em sistemas aquáticos eutrofizados, inclusive naqueles utilizados para abastecimento público, podendo trazer riscos à saúde humana. ...
