      Marine mammal mass strandings have occurred for millions of years, but their origins defy singular explanations. Beyond human causes, mass strandings have been attributed to herding behaviour, large-scale oceanographic ...
    • Torres Sánchez, Felipe; Altbir, D.; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel (EPL, 2014)
      The inclusion of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya short-range antisymmetric interaction in the Heisenberg Hamiltonian induces spontaneous magnetization, at nonzero temperatures, in one and two dimensions. It is shown that quantum ...

      Disentangling the contribution of corridors to landscape connectivity is crucial for adopting efficient measures in conservation, but their actual role in heterogeneous landscapes is not yet fully understood. We assessed ...
    • Pizarro Arcos, Lorena Andrea; Norambuena Morales, Lorena (Elsevier, 2014)
      Endomembrane protein trafficking assures protein location through the endocytic and secretory routes. Trafficking pathways are diverse, depending on the proteins being trafficked, the final destination as well as their ...

      The diversity of sponge-associated fungi has been poorly investigated in remote geographical areas like Antarctica. In this study, 101 phenotypically different fungal isolates were obtained from 11 sponge samples collected ...
    • Villalobos, Jorge; Muñoz Gálvez, Víctor; Rogan Castillo, José; Zarama, Roberto; Johnson, Neil F.; Toledo Cabrera, Benjamín; Valdivia Hepp, Juan (American Physical Society, 2014)
      In the hope of making passenger travel times shorter and more reliable, many cities are introducing dedicated bus lanes (e.g., Bogota, London, Miami). Herewe showthat chaotic travel times are actually a natural consequence of ...

      Prismatic silver nanoparticles (PNps) were used in the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) study of the antioxidant alkaloid boldine (5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-1,10-dimethoxy-6-methyl-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinoline-2,9-diol). ...
    • Marín Briano, Víctor; Delgado Isasi, Luisa; Vila Pinto, Irma; Tironi, Antonio; Barrera, Vilma; Ibáñez Valderrama, Carlos (2014)
      During April-May 2004 the Cruces River wetland ecosystem, located in Valdivia (40ºS), southern Chile, was described as shifting from a clear water regime, dominated by the exotic macrophyte Egeria densa, to turbid waters ...
    • Vicencio Poblete, Rodrigo; Mejía Cortés, Cristian (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      We study the propagation of non-diffracting images in kagome photonic lattices. In a weak-coupling regime (discrete approach), the linear spectrum is composed by only three bands, including a completely degenerated and ...
    • Villarroel Campos, David Leonardo; Gastaldi, Laura; Conde, Cecilia; Cáceres, Alfredo; González Billault, Christian (International Society for Neurochemistry, 2014)
      Neuronal cells are characterized by the presence of two confined domains, which are different in their cellular properties, biochemical functions and molecular identity. The generation of asymmetric domains in neurons ...
    • Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo; Muñoz, Yorka; Peña Cortés, Hugo; Giavalisco, Patrick; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (Society for Neuroscience, 2014)
      Drosophila light-dependent channels, TRP and TRPL, reside in the light-sensitive microvilli of the photoreceptor’s rhabdomere. Phospholipase C mediates TRP/TRPL opening, but the gating process remains unknown. Controversial ...
    • García Beltrán, Olimpo; Cassels Niven, Bruce; Pérez, Claudio; Mena, Natalia P.; Núñez González, Marco; Martínez, Natalia P.; Pizarro Pavez, Paulina Ignacia; Aliaga, Margarita E. (MDPI, 2014)
      Two new coumarin-based “turn-off” fluorescent probes, (E)-3-((3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)amino)-7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (BS1) and (E)-3-((2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)amino)-7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (BS2), were synthesized ...
    • Pérez, Fernanda; Hinojosa Opazo, Luis; Ossa, Carmen G.; Campano, Francisca; Orrego, Fabiola (British Ecological Society, 2014)
      1. Phylogenetic conservatism of tolerance to freezing temperatures has been cited to explain the tendency of plant lineages to grow in similar climates. However, there is little information about whether or not freezing ...
    • Smith Ramírez, Cecilia; Ramos Jiliberto, Rodrigo; Valdovinos, Fernanda S.; Gajardo Martínez, Paula Natalia; Castillo, Jessica A.; Armesto, Juan J. (Springer, 2014)
