The use of crop models that integrate soil, climate, cultivar and management information may broaden the understanding of the interactions between soybean cropping system and local climate variability.This study aimed to analyze the potentiality of soybean in an Amazonian production environment, as well as to determine an optimal sowing window via
Phenotypic plasticity in defensive traits is an appropriate mechanism to cope with the variable hazard of a frequently changing predator spectrum.In the animal kingdom these so-called inducible defences cover the entire taxonomic range from protozoans to vertebrates.The inducible defensive traits range from behaviour, morphology, and life-history a
Pathogen surveillance in animals does not provide a sufficient level of vigilance because it is generally confined to surveillance of pathogens with known mug economic impact in domestic animals and practically nonexistent in wildlife species.As most (re-)emerging viral infections originate from animal sources, it is important to obtain insight int
The pathology associated with malaria infection is largely due to the ability of infected human RBCs to adhere to a number of receptors on endothelial cells within tissues and organs.This phenomenon is driven by the export of parasite-encoded proteins to the host cell, the exact function of many of which is still unknown.Here we inactivate the func
