Reproductive Phenology, Fecundity, Survival and Growth of Puerto Rican Anolis Lizards in the Context of Climate Warming
Anolis lizards are vulnerable to climate warming because, like other ectotherms, their basic physiological functions (e.g., locomotion, growth and reproduction) are strongly influenced by environmental temperature. However, ... -
Resistencia al Acido Hipocloroso en Vibrio fischeri
Vibrio fischeri es una bacteria bioluminiscente marina, que forma una simbiosis específica con el calamar hawaiano, Euprymna escolopes. El calamar produce especies reactivas de oxigeno, incluyendo ácido hipocloroso (HOCl), ... -
Role of the Orphan Nuclear Receptor Nurr1 in Long Term Memory of Context Fear Conditioning
Learning requires the continued ability of the brain to establish new synaptic configurations and could be viewed as the continuation of the developmental process. Disrupting the normal balance between the stable fixation ... -
Soil Respiration of a Novel Subtropical Moist Forest: From Diel to Seasonal Patterns
Soil respiration is the largest natural flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, often accounting for as much as 50 percent of global gross productivity. As tropical and subtropical forests sustain the highest ... -
Spatial Dynamics and Drivers of Land Use and Land Cover Change in Colombia: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation
This dissertation focuses on understanding different aspects of land use and land cover change in Colombia from 2001 to 2010 and the implications for biodiversity conservation. Land use and land cover dynamics during the ... -
The Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Response in the HIV Context
Recent studies demonstrate that the central nervous system (CNS) and immune system interact with each other through a vagus nerve-dependent mechanism that involves afferent stimulation from peripheral inflammatory cytokines ... -
The Reproductive Biology of Zamia (Cycadales: Zamiaceae) in Puerto Rico: Implications for Patterns of Genetic Structure and Species Conservation
Variation in plant reproductive success is affected by how ecological conditions interact with a plant’s sexual, mating, and pollination systems. Long-term viability of natural populations is dependent on the maintenance ...
