Species distribution models to help integrate community ecology
(2025) [Journal article]Community ecology explores the organisation and functioning of species assemblages shaped by historical, environmental and biotic processes. This review introduces community distribution models (CDMs), which extend species ... -
Functional evaluation of germline TP53 variants identified in Brazilian families at-risk for Li–Fraumeni syndrome
(2024) [Journal article]Germline TP53 pathogenic variants can lead to a cancer susceptibility syndrome known as Li–Fraumeni (LFS). Variants affecting its activity can drive tumorigenesis altering p53 pathways and their identification is crucial ... -
Time since fire as a driver of taxonomic and phylogenetic patterns of grassland plant communities
(2024) [Journal article]Fire plays a key role in grasslands, determining the distribution and evolution of species and boundaries with neighboring ecosystems. Evidence of community-wide responses to fire is largely based on taxonomic and functional ... -
Microcephaly in South Brazil : are cases of congenital zika syndrome increasing in recent years?
(2023) [Journal article]Northeast Brazil was the first region to detect a significant increase in babies born with microcephaly associated with prenatal zika virus infection in 2015. Rio Grande do Sul (RS) state was less impacted due to the ... -
Geographic and age variations in mutational processes in colorectal cancer
