Se analizaron los patrones espaciotemporales de la temperatura media inferida (TMI) y el nivel trófico medio (NTM) de las capturas de la campaña MEDITS en trece áreas (GSAs) del Mediterráneo entre 1994 y 2016. El estudio pretendía detectar cambios en la estructura de la...

This study investigated the relationship between host efflux system of the non-vertebrate nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) strain virulence. This is the first comprehensive effort to profile host-transporters within the context of B...

Transposable elements (TEs) compose about half of the mammalian genome and, as embedded sequences, up to 40% of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcripts. Embedded TEs may represent functional domains within lncRNAs, providing a structured RNA platform for protein interac...

International audience; Diatoms and copepods are main actors in marine food webs. The prey–predator interactions between them affect bloom dynamics, shape marine ecosystems and impact the energy transfer to higher trophic levels. Recently it has been demonstrated that t...

Mantle exhumation at slow-spreading ridges is favoured by extensional tectonics through low-angle detachment faults1, 2, 3, 4, and, along transforms, by transtension due to changes in ridge/transform geometry5, 6. Less common, exhumation by compressive stresses has been...

Models to predict codend size selectivity for four major commercial species—European hake (Merluccius merluccius), Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus), deep-water rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris), and Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus)–in Mediterranean...

From November 2008 through May 2009, the Po river (Italy) experienced several floods exceeding 5000 m<sup>3</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>. This long series of events ended with a large flood in early May 2009 (~8000 m<sup>3</sup> s<sup>−...

Jellyfish populations apparently have increased in some places around the world and human problems with them also have increased. However, effects of jellyfish outbreaks in the ecosystems remain poorly understood and little or no information is available on their dietar...

The collision of the warm and salty southward flowing Brazil Current and the cold and relatively fresh northward flowing Malvinas Current produces a strong frontal zone known as the Brazil—Malvinas Confluence Zone (BMCZ). This is featured by intense presence of eddies a...

Holt-Oram Syndrome (HOS) is an autosomal dominant heart-hand syndrome caused by mutations in the TBX5 gene, a transcription factor capable of regulating hundreds of cardiac-specific genes through complex transcriptional networks. Here we show that, in zebrafish, modulat...
