Abstract The Cretaceous breakup of Gondwana strongly modified the global distribution shallow tropical seas reshaping geographic configuration marine basins. However, links between reef availability, plate tectonic processes and biodiversity patterns are still unknown. Here, we show that a spatial diversification model constrained by absolute motions for past 140 million years predicts emergence movement diversity hotspots on reefs. dynamics reefs explains fauna in Tethyan Ocean during early...
Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain condition that exerts considerable impact on patients' daily activities and quality of life. Objectives: The main objective the present study was to evaluate kinematic parameters gait, functional performance, balance in women with fibromyalgia syndrome. Methods: included 26 female patients (49.2 ± 8.0 years) according criteria American College Rheumatology, as well 16 pain-free (43.5 8.5 years). Gait were extracted from video recordings participants...
Abstract Speculation over a global rise in jellyfish populations has become widespread the scientific literature, but until recently purported ‘global increase’ had not been tested. Here we present citation analysis of peer‐reviewed literature to track evolution current perception increases and identify key papers involved its establishment. Trend statements threads were reviewed arranged network. assessed according their degree affirmation spatial scale, appropriateness citations used...
Bacterial endophytes are crucial for the survival of many terrestrial plants, but little is known about presence and importance bacterial marine plants. We conducted a survey endophytic community long-living Mediterranean angiosperm Posidonia oceanica in surface-sterilized tissues (roots, rhizomes, leaves) by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE). A total 26 meadows around Balearic Islands were sampled, band patterns obtained each meadow compared three sampled tissues. Endophytic...
Biodiversity can increase in both high‐ and low‐connected landscapes. However, we lack predictions related to biodiversity dynamics when accounting for the temporal heterogeneity connections among habitats of a landscape. Here, study relationship between fluctuations landscape connectivity at local regional scales. We contrast about species richness landscapes with without connectivity. Our results show that (α) ( γ ) together dynamic characterized by periodic connectivity, clarifying...
Chronic pain is known as a complex disease due to its comorbidities with other symptoms and the lack of effective treatments. As consequence, chronic seems be under-diagnosed in more than 75% patients. At same time, advance brain imaging, popularization machine learning techniques development new diagnostic tools based on these technologies have shown that could an option supporting decision-making healthcare professionals. In this study, we computed functional connectivity using...
This paper proposes a new method to identify communities in generally weighted complex networks and apply it phylogenetic analysis. In this case, weights correspond the similarity indexes among protein sequences, which can be used for network construction so that structure analyzed recover phylogenetically useful information from its properties. The analyses discussed here are mainly based on modular character of networks, explored through Newman-Girvan algorithm, with help neighborhood...
Abstract Aim The summits of mountain ranges at mid‐latitude in the Northern Hemisphere share many ecological properties with Arctic, including comparable climates and similar flora. We hypothesize that orogeny during Oligocene‐Miocene combined global cooling led to origin early diversification cold‐adapted plant lineages these regions. Before establishment Arctic cryosphere, adaptation speciation high elevation areas may have higher species richness compared Arctic. Subsequent colonization...
This research studies the evolution of COVID-19 crude incident rates, effective reproduction number R(t) and their relationship with incidence spatial autocorrelation patterns in 19 months following disease outbreak Catalonia (Spain). A cross-sectional ecological panel design based on n = 371 health-care geographical units is used. Five general outbreaks are described, systematically preceded by generalized values > 1 two previous weeks. No clear regularities concerning possible initial...
In the last decade, machine learning has been widely used in different fields, especially because of its capacity to work with complex data. With support techniques, studies have using data-driven approaches better understand some syndromes like mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and chronic pain. Chronic pain is a disease that can recurrently be misdiagnosed due comorbidities other which it shares symptoms. Within context, several suggesting algorithms classify...
Abstract Aim Ecological gradients are expected to be associated with structural rewiring of species interaction networks. The study network structures along geographic and ecological gradients, however, remains marginal because documenting interactions at multiple sites is a methodological challenge. Here, we aimed the variation in plant–herbivore networks elevational using molecular metabarcoding. Location European Alps. Taxon Plant Orthopteran herbivores. Methods We used standardized DNA...
Spatial dependency and spatial embedding are basic physical properties of many phenomena modeled by networks. The most indicated computational environment to deal with information is use Georeferenced Information System (GIS) Geographical Database Management Systems (GDBMS). Several models have been proposed in this direction, however there a gap the literature generic frameworks for working Complex Networks GIS/GDBMS environments. Here we introduce concept (geo)graphs: graphs which nodes...
Abstract Predictions from theory, field data, and experiments have shown that high landscape connectivity promotes higher species richness than low connectivity. However, examples demonstrating diversity in connected landscapes also exist. Here we describe the many factors drive at different spatiotemporal scales by varying amplitude frequency of changes dispersal radius spatial networks. We found fluctuations support metacommunities with static landscapes. Our results show a threshold below...

Ecological gradients are expected to be associated with structural rewiring of species interaction networks. The study network structures along geographic and ecological gradients, however, remains marginal because documenting interactions at multiple sites is a methodological challenge. Using standardized DNA metabarcoding method applied feces, we examined how properties plant--orthoptera networks reflecting specialization resilience vary elevation. We found an increase in levels generality...
