(Universidad de Concepcion, 2015)© 2015, Universidad de Concepcion. All rights reserved.Fish exhibit a wide diversity of feeding behaviors, sometimes associated with specifi c morphologies, which may refl ect adaptations to exploit the resources depending ...
-
(European Assoc Aquatic Mammals, 2016)The contribution of prey species to the diet and their variation over time are poorly understood processes in the trophic ecology of Southeast Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). The purpose of this study was ...
-
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2007)Trichomycterus areolatus and Trichomycterus chiltoni are endemic siluriform fishes of Chile. They are the only Chilean species of this genus that live in sympatry and coexist in the Biobio basin. High trophic niche overlap ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)A combination of stomach content and nitrogen (delta N-15) and carbon (delta C-13) stable-isotope analysis was used to assess the trophic interactions and feeding habits of three notothenioid coastal fish (Champsocephalus ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2009)The effects of forest fragmentation on ecologioal interaotions and partioularly on foodwebs have scarcely treen analyzed. Herbivory is usually lower in forest fragments than in continuous forest. Here we hypothesize that ...

(Rockefeller University Press, 2020)Phagocytes use their actomyosin cytoskeleton to migrate as well as to probe their environment by phagocytosis or macropinocytosis. Although migration and extracellular material uptake have been shown to be coupled in some ...
-
(2019-01)Lysosomal physiology has been shown to be important for the correct functioning of immune cells, including their migratory and their phagocytic properties. In this work, we aimed to explore the migratory process of immune ...
-
(Elsevier Science Ltd., 1993-11-01)The alkaloids boldine, glaucine, predicentrine, apomorphine, coclaurine, norarmepavine and codeine were tested against the epimastigotes of the Tulahuén and LQ strains and the DM 28c clone of Trypanosoma cruzi. The ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2020-01)Los insectos hematófagos exhiben comportamientos complejos en la búsqueda de alimento respondiendo a diversos estímulos olfativos y visuales del hospedero. Mepraia spinolai es el vector silvestre del protozoo flagelado ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Hematophagous insects exhibit complex behaviour when searching for blood-meals, responding to several host stimuli. The hematophagous insect Mepraia spinolai is a wild vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas ...
-
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013)We evaluated Trypanosoma cruzi infection in 397 wild Mepraia gajardoi specimens from five coastal localities in northern Chile by detection of minicircle DNA by polymerase chain reaction. The wild capture sites were ...
-
(ELSEVIER, 2008-02)The Southern Pacific Ocean coast has been traditionally considered a non-active transmission area for Chagas disease. In this report, we show evidence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in the sylvatic kissing bug Mepraia ...
-
(Peerj Inc, 2020)Trypanosoma cruzi, the cause agent of Chagas disease, is transmitted mainly by blood-feeding insects of the subfamily Triatominae. The T. cruzi life cycle alternates between triatomines and mammalian hosts, excluding birds ...

-
(Company of Biologists, 2020)Neurons are highly complex cells that heavily rely on intracellular transport to distribute a range of functionally essential cargoes within the cell. Post-translational modifications of tubulin are emerging as mechanisms ...
-
(1995)The use of 3-fluoro-tyrosine as an alternative substrate for the enzyme tubulin:tyrosine ligase which catalyzes the incorporation of tyrosine into the α-tubulin subunit was investigated. The incorporation of tyrosine into ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2020)Conformational flexibility plays a critical role in enzyme function and is a key aspect in transitions from an open to a closed state induced by substrate binding and product release. Psychrophilic enzymes display a high ...
