18β-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Induces Metabolic Changes and Reduces Staphylococcus aureus Bacterial Cell-to-Cell Interactions
(MDPI AG, 2022-06)The rise in bacterial resistance to common antibiotics has raised an increased need for alternative treatment strategies. The natural antibacterial product, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA) has shown efficacy against ... -
Colours and maps for communicating natural hazards to users with and without colour vision deficiency
(Elsevier BV, 2022-06)Natural hazards are often communicated visually using colours and maps. However, users' ability to read and understand these products may be hampered by e.g., colour vision deficiency, potentially rendering the products ... -
Greater sage‐grouse habitat selection varies across the marginal habitat of its lagging range margin
(Wiley, 2022-07)Studying wildlife–habitat relationships at the edges of their range can provide valuable insights into the environmental factors limiting wildlife distributions and most likely to drive extirpations and range shifts in ... -
Responses of American black bears to spring resources
(Wiley, 2021-11)In temperate regions of the world, food resources are seasonally limited, which causes some wildlife species to seek out nutrient-rich resources to better meet their caloric needs. Animals that utilize high-quality resources ... -
Rub tree use and selection by American black bears and grizzly bears in northern Yellowstone National Park
(Ursus, 2022-06)Several of the world's bear species exhibit tree-rubbing behavior, which is thought to be a form of scent-marking communication. Many aspects of this behavior remain unexplored, including differences in rub tree selection ... -
A functional ecology framework for understanding and predicting animal responses to plant invasion
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-05)Plant invasions can alter food resources and habitat conditions that structure animal communities. These effects are negative for many native animals, but neutral or even positive for others. Understanding why we see this ... -
Aplicación de sensores remotos para el análisis de cobertura vegetal y cuerpos de agua (Application of remote sensors for the analysis of vegetation cover and water bodies)
(SciELO Agencia Nacional de Investigacion y Desarrollo, 2020-12)This work analyzes remote sensors’ usefulness to analyze vegetation cover and water bodies in conservation and environmental studies. This research aims to determine satellite images’ applications in coverage studies and ... -
Global studies of cadmium in relation to Theobroma cacao: A bibliometric analysis from Scopus (1996 -2020)
(Universidad Nacional de Trujillo, 2021-12)The maximum cadmium tolerance standards were established by the European Union in 2014, for the importation of cocoa-based products, causing concern in the countries. Global studies on Theobroma cacao research related to ... -
Application of the Standardized Vegetation Index (SVI) and Google Earth Engine (GEE) for drought management in Peru
(Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan. Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, 2021-11)Background. The SVI (Standardized Vegetation Index) provides a relative comparison of the condition of the vegetation in different classifications for monitoring droughts. Objective. In this research, the SVI was used ... -
World historical mapping and potential distribution of Cinchona spp. in Peru as a contribution for its restoration and conservation
(Elsevier BV, 2022-12)Peru is a megadiverse country in neotropical flora and is home to an important genus of plants called Cinchona and commonly all its individual species are called Cinchona Tree (Cinchona spp.), which represents the national ... -
Variation in the Alcohol Components of Coffea arabica L. Wastewater Distillate Fermented Under Different Conditions
(Technoscience Publications, 2022-09)Coffee is the second-most consumed beverage in the world, and its high demand is covered by countries such as Peru, where the waste generated in production causes environmental pollution. We sought to determine the ... -
Geospatial Analysis of Soil Erosion including Precipitation Scenarios in a Conservation Area of the Amazon Region in Peru
(Hindawi Limited, 2021-09)The Tilacancha Private Conservation Area provides fresh water to the city of Chachapoyas. Therefore, the amount of soil lost in the year and under precipitation scenarios was determined. Individually, the values of the ... -
Thermal transport in two-dimensional nematic superconductors
(American Physical Society, 2022-06)We study the thermal transport in a two-dimensional system with coexisting superconducting (SC) and nematic orders. We analyze the nature of the coexistence phase in a tight-binding square lattice where the nematic state ... -
Warming temperatures affect meadow‐wide nectar resources, with implications for plant–pollinator communities
(Wiley, 2022-07)Nectar production may be a point of sensitivity that can help link primary and secondary trophic responses to climate shifts, and is therefore important to our understanding of ecosystem responses. We evaluated the nectar ... -
Earlier spring snowmelt drives arrowleaf balsamroot phenology in montane meadows
(Wiley, 2022-08)Climate change is shifting phenology globally, altering when and how species respond to environmental cues such as temperature and the timing of snowmelt. These shifts may result in phenological mismatches among interacting ... -
The Most Complete Bowfin (Amiidae: Amia sp.) from the Coal Creek Member of the Kishenehn Formation (Eocene), Northwestern Montana
(Polska Akademia Nauk Instytut Paleobiologii, 2022-01)The larger-bodied fish fauna of the Kishenehn Formation’s Coal Creek Member (Eocene, 43.5 Ma), northwestern Montana, is understudied because of a sampling bias towards small specimens. Small specimens (<10 cm length) of ... -
The diverse terminology of reptile eggshell microstructure and its effect on phylogenetic comparative analyses
(Wiley, 2022-06)Reptile eggshell ensures water and gas exchange during incubation and plays a key role in reproductive success. The diversity of reptilian incubation and life history strategies has led to many clade-specific structural ... -
Heterogeneity in risk‐sensitive allocation of somatic reserves in a long‐lived mammal
