Testing for functional convergence of temperate rainforest tree assemblages in Chile and New Zealand
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
An important tenet of biogeography and comparative ecology is that disjunct assemblages in similar physical environments are functionally more similar to each other than to assemblages from other environments. Temperate ...
Thermal acclimation, maximum metabolic rate, and nonshivering thermogenesis of Phyllotis xanthopygus (Rodentia) in the Andes mountains
(Allen Press Inc., 1999)
We determined non-shivering thermogensis (NST) and maximum metabolic rate (MMR) as functions of thermal acclimation in a small mammal species in a seasonal environment. We studied the rodent Phyllotis xanthopygus (Muridae) ...
Self-organization in the dynamics of huddling behavior in Octodon degus in two contrasting seasons
(Springer, 2015)
In small mammals, huddling appears as an efficient response to low temperature with important consequences in energy saving, which in turn affect individual fitness. It has been proposed that this behavior is a self-organized ...
Molecular characterization of an ancient Hepatozoon species parasitizing the ‘living fossil’ marsupial ‘Monito del Monte’ Dromiciops gliroides from Chile
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC,, 2009-11)
The Microbiotheriid Dromiciops gliroides, also known as ‘Monito del Monte’, is considered to be a threatened
species and the only living representative of this group of South American marsupials. During the last few ...
Seasonal acclimatization in water flux rate, urine osmolality and kidney water channels in free-living degus: molecular mechanisms, physiological processes and ecological implications
(COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS, 2003-09)
The environmental modification of an organism's physiology in the field is often hypothesized to be responsible for allowing an organism to adjust to changing biotic and abiotic environmental conditions through increases ...
Energy sources that fuel metabolic processes in protruding finger-like organelles
(Wiley, 2020)
Cells possess a variety of organelles with characteristic structure and subcellular localization intimately linked to their specific function. While most are intracellular and found in virtually all eukaryotic cells, there ...
Granivory in the Chilean matorral: extending the information on arid zones of South America
(1995)
Comparative studies of granivory intensity across different arid and semi‐and regions of the world have assumed homogeneity of conditions over large geographical areas, despite the existence of evident heterogeneities at ...
Differential effects of beta 1 and beta 2 subunits on BK channel activity
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2005-04)
High conductance, calcium- and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channels are widely expressed in mammals. In some tissues, the biophysical properties of BK channels are highly affected by coexpression of regulatory (beta) ...
Diseño asistido por computadora de péptidos antibacterianos no tóxicos
(2018)
La resistencia a los antimicrobianos está aumentando a un ritmo alarmante y la cantidad de nuevos antibióticos desarrollados y aprobados ha disminuido en las últimas décadas, básicamente debido a obstáculos económicos y ...
Hantavirus (Bunyaviridae: Hantavirus) en roedores murinos de Sincelejo, departamento de Sucre
