ENSO‐Influenced Drought Drives Methane Flux Dynamics in a Tropical Wet Forest Soil
(2019)Global atmospheric methane growth rates have wildly fluctuated over the past three decades, which may be driven by the proportion of tropical land surface saturated by water. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation Event (ENSO) ... -
Community richness of amphibian skin bacteria correlates with bioclimate at the global scale
(2019)Animal-associated microbiomes are integral to host health, yet key biotic and abiotic factors that shape host-associated microbial communities at the global scale remain poorly understood. We investigated global patterns ... -
Ant microbial symbionts are a new model for drug discovery
(2019)Ants have been widely studied, with 14,000 described species, but it is not until recently that they gained attention as sources for antimicrobial drug discovery. An increasing amount of studies are investigating ant-microbe ... -
Welcome to the Atta world: A framework for understanding the effects of leaf‐cutter ants on ecosystem functions
(2019)1. Leaf‐cutter ants are a prominent feature in Neotropical ecosystems, but a comprehensive assessment of their effects on ecosystem functions is lacking. We reviewed the literature and used our own recent findings to ... -
Assessment of microbial communities associated with the gut and feeding substrate of three xylophagous coleopteran families with emphasis on cellulose-degrading bacteria
(2019-11)The current energy crisis and depletion of fossil fuel reserves has encouraged research for new alternatives. Degradation of plant material by enzymatic reactions represents an important strategy to obtain affordable and ... -

Phylogenetic analyses of antibiotic-producing Streptomyces sp. isolates obtained from the stingless-bee Tetragonisca angustula (Apidae: Meliponini)
(2019)Many insects have been associated with actinobacteria in protective symbiosis where antimicrobial metabolites inhibit host pathogens. However, the microbiota of neotropical insects such as the stingless-bee Tetragonisca ... -
Detección del virus del oeste del Nilo en dos localidades con antecedentes de enfermedad neurológica en equinos: determinación molecular en aves y mosquitos y serología en humanos, aves y equinos
(2019-11)El virus de Oeste del Nilo (WNV por sus siglas en inglés) es un miembro de la familia Flaviviridae. Su ciclo natural involucra la transmisión entre aves y mosquitos. Las aves son los hospederos y diseminadores del patógeno ... -
Population Genomics Insights into Adaptive Evolution and Ecological Differentiation in Streptomycetes
(2019)Deciphering the genomic variation that represents microevolutionary processes toward species divergence is key to understanding microbial speciation, which has long been under debate. Streptomycetes are filamentous bacteria ... -
The antimicrobial potential of Streptomyces from insect microbiomes
(2019)Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis and few novel antimicrobials have been discovered in recent decades. Natural products, particularly from Streptomyces, are the source of most antimicrobials, yet discovery ... -
The Role of the Ecosystem Engineer, the Leaf-Cutter Ant Atta cephalotes, on Soil CO2 Dynamics in a Wet Tropical Rainforest
(2019)Leaf‐cutter ants are dominant herbivores that disturb the soil and create biogeochemical hot spots. We studied how leaf‐cutter ant Atta cephalotes impacts soil CO2 dynamics in a wet Neotropical forest. We measured soil CO2 ... -
