The first step in our sensing of smell is the conversion of chemical odorants into electrical signals. This happens when odorants stimulate ion channels along cilia, which are long thin cylindrical structures in our olfactory ...

Hacer operativo el concepto de sostenibilidad es un desafío importante en la gestión de recursos naturales, problemas de conservación de la biodiversidad, el cambio climático y la epidemiología, entre otros. Diferentes ...

The conceptual framework for species interactions calls for a new perspective: conditional outcomes are not rare; but, rather, closer to the norm. Interactions may shift or switch between beneficial and detrimental following ...

The paper sets up two mathematical models for the Echinococcus multilocularis’s life cycle in the environment. Herbivores are the intermediate hosts, harboring its larval stage, while carnivores host the adults. From the ...

Entender los mecanismos y procesos que determinan la distribución de las especies, su abundancia y los patrones de biodiversidad que generan, es uno de los grandes retos para la ecología y de manera particular para la ...

This paper presents a brief overview of a range of applications of stochastic differential equations (SDE) in describing the growth of wildlife populations living in randomly varying environments and the associated risks ...

The cancer stem cell hypothesis states that cancer growth is propelled by a relatively small number of cancer stem cells (CSCs). These CSCs have been shown to play a crucial role in the growth and recurrence of many tumor ...
