BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

This dataset is related to the paper "Drivers of atmospheric deposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at European high-altitude sites" by Arellano et al. , Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in bulk atmospheric deposition samples collected at four European high mountain areas, Gossenköllesee (Tyrolean Alps), Redon (Central Pyrenees), Skalnate Pleso (High Tatra Mountains) and Lochnagar (Grampian Mountains) between 2004 and 2006. Sample collection was performed monthly in the first three sites and biweekly in Lochnagar. The number of sites, period of study and sampling frequency provide the most comprehensive description of PAH fallout in high mountain areas addressed so far. The average PAH deposition fluxes in Gossenköllesee, Redon and Lochnagar ranged between 0.8–2.1µgm−2mo−1, and in Skalnate Pleso it was 9.7µgm−2mo−1, showing the influence of substantial inputs from regional emission sources. The deposited distributions of PAH were dominated by parent phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene, representing 32–60% of total. The proportion of phenanthrene, the most abundant compound, was higher at the sites of lower temperature, Gossenköllesee and Skalnate Pleso, showing higher transfer from gas phase to particles of the more volatile PAHs. The sites with lower insolation, e.g. those located at lower altitude, were those with higher proportion of photooxidable compounds such as benz[a]anthracene. According to the data analysed, precipitation is the main driver of PAH fallout. However, when rain and snow deposition were low, particle settling also constitutes an efficient driver for PAH deposition. Redon and Lochnagar were the two sites receiving highest rain and snow and the fallout of PAH fluxes was related to this precipitation. No significant association was observed between long-range backward air trajectories and PAH deposition in Lochnagar, but in Redon PAH fallout at higher precipitation was essentially related with air masses originating from the North Atlantic, which were dominant between November and May (cold season). In these cases, particle normalized PAH fallout was also associated to higher precipitation as these air masses were concurrent with lower temperatures, which enhanced gas to particle partitioning transfer. In the warm season (June–October), most of the air masses arriving to Redon originated from the south and particle deposition was enhanced as consequence of Saharan inputs. In these cases, particle settling was also a driver of PAH deposition despite the low overall PAH content of the Saharan particles. In Gossenköllesee, the site receiving lowest precipitation, PAH fallout was also related to particle deposition. The particle normalized PAH fluxes were significantly negatively correlated to temperature, e.g. for air masses originating from Central/Eastern Europe, showing a dominant transfer from gas phase to particles at lower temperatures, which enhanced PAH fallout, mainly of the most volatile hydrocarbons. Comparison of PAH atmospheric deposition and lacustrine sedimentary fluxes showed much higher values in the latter case, 24–100µgm−2yr−1 vs. 120–3000µgm−2yr−1, respectively. A strong significant correlation was observed between these two fluxes which is consistent with a dominant origin related with atmospheric deposition at each site., Peer reviewed

For any further questions, please contact the corresponding author of the article at mc.terradas@csic.es, Spinal cord injury (SCI) remain a therapeutic challenge. In this work, we have explored the regenerative ability of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) scaffolds to support pivotal features of neural repair at 4 months after SCI. 3D randomly porous foams have been prepared in mechanical compliance with neural cells and tissues. After 4 months, these scaffolds are fully vascularized and populated with neurites, some of them identified as myelinated excitatory axons. Magnetic resonance imaging studies demonstrate reduce perilesional damage in the presence of the scaffolds. In summary, these 3D porous rGO scaffolds are able to induce a compilation of positive effects that have been rarely described before, if ever, for any other material implanted in the injured spinal cord. The techniques used in this study include: immunofluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, histology, behavioral tests, magnetic resonance imaging, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad and the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (MAT2016-78857-R, MAT2016-76507-R and MAT2016-80394-R, MINECO/FEDER, UE) and the European Research Council ERC-AdG-340177 (3DNanoMech)., Peer reviewed

Between 1988 and 2016, we investigated the effects of breeding density and body size on natal dispersal propensity in a pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) population breeding in nest-boxes in two different habitats in central Spain (41°04'N, 3°27'W − 40°40'N, 4°80'W). Body size was measured as tarsus length. Breeding density was estimated as the annual number of nest-boxes occupied by pied flycatchers relative to the total area of each forest patch. Dispersal rates between habitats were also calculated by dividing the number of recruits that moved from their natal to the alternative habitat patch by the total number of recruits that returned to the study area each year. In addition, we calculated the annual rates of immigration to each habitat, expressed as the number of unbanded birds relative to the total number of birds in a given year., Peer reviewed

The dataset consists of the prediction of transcription factor binding sites (ChIP-seq data) and transcription factor binding motifs (Position weight matrices and Transcription factor flexible models) in Drosophila melanogaster and humans., Although transposable elements (TEs) are an important source of regulatory variation, their genome-wide contribution to the transcriptional regulation of stress response genes has not been studied yet. Stress is a major aspect of natural selection in the wild, leading to changes in the transcriptional regulation of a variety of genes that are often triggered by one or a few transcription factors. In this work, we take advantage of the wealth of information available for Drosophila melanogaster and humans to analyze the role of TEs in stress regulatory networks. We used in silico predictions and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data to localize transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) for several stress-response transcription factors involved in six stress regulatory networks: immune, hypoxia, oxidative, xenobiotic, heat shock, and heavymetal stress responses. The predictions at the DNA level were complemented with the analysis of biochemical and genomic features, such as chromatin characteristics and location regarding nearby genes. In addition, we also used population level information to identify a subset of TEs that were more likely to contain functional TFBS. For a representative subset of the most likely candidate TEs, we performed in vivo transgenic reporter assays in different stress conditions. Overall, our results showed that TEs are relevant contributors to the transcriptional regulation of stress response genes., This work was funded by the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad BFU2014-57779-P, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades/AEI (BFU2017-82937-P) and the European Commission (H2020-ERC-2014-CoG-647900)., Peer reviewed

Invasive species cause major ecosystem impacts. To prioritise management, it is first necessary to recognise which invaders have the highest impact, as outlined by the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Strategic Plan 2020. We show for the first time that chemical compounds previously shown to be used in ant defence against other ant species can also be used to prey upon vertebrates of relatively greater size. We estimate the number of amphibian species whose ranges overlap with those of the Argentine ant across the globe and examine the likely global threat to terrestrial amphibians, an already endangered taxonomic group., Peer reviewed
