Impairment of adenosine signaling disrupts early embryo development: unveiling the underlying mechanisms Open
Purinergic signaling has been implicated in many biological functions, including development. In this study, we investigate the functions of extracellular adenosine and adenosine receptors using a mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) line and m…

First description of the nest and eggs of Ceará Leaftosser Sclerurus cearensis, with a review of the breeding biology of genus Sclerurus Open
Sclerurus is a genus of morphologically uniform, strict understorey, leaf litter specialists. We present the first description of the nest and eggs of Ceará Leaftosser S. cearensis from north-east Brazil and review breeding data for the ge…

Interspecific foraging association between the cryptic forest-falcon, Micrastur mintoni and primates in an Amazon rainforest in Brazil Open
Following behavior is a well-documented foraging specialization in Neotropical birds, which consists of individuals of solitary or mixed-flocking species following other moving animals to capture fleeing prey. Here, we report two observati…

Phylogenomic analyses reveal non-monophyly of the antbird genera<i>Herpsilochmus</i>and<i>Sakesphorus</i>(Thamnophilidae), with description of a new genus for<i>Herpsilochmus sellowi</i> Open
The family Thamnophilidae is a species-rich Neotropical radiation of passerine birds. Current classification of its 235 species is mostly based on morphological similarities, but recent studies integrating comprehensive phenotypic and phyl…

Loss of forest cover and host functional diversity increases prevalence of avian malaria parasites in the Atlantic Forest Open
Host phylogenetic relatedness and ecological similarity are thought to contribute to parasite community assembly and infection rates. However, recent landscape level anthropogenic changes may disrupt host-parasite systems by impacting func…

RawDataset: Loss of forest cover and host functional diversity increases prevalence of avian malaria parasites in the Atlantic Forest Open
The dataset from bird individuals captured across 18 sampling localities in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Blood samples were collected from all bird individuals, and parasite detection and lineage identification were made through PCR meth…

Evolution of acoustic and visual signals in the antwrens of the tribe Formicivorini (Aves, Thamnophilidae) Open
\n Animal communication transmits information using different sensory signals that have particular purposes (e.g. courtship, territorial defense, maintaining groups together and minimizing predation) and are susceptible to habitat pressure…
