Sobre IBD

The diversity, richness and number of endemics of the Caatinga, the only strictly Brazilian biome, have long been underestimated. However, today we know that it is an extremely heterogeneous biome and one of the most altered in Brazil, which emphasises the relevance of new studies. In particular, little is known about the distribution patterns of bird richness in this environment. With a view to contributing to this knowledge, we selected 29 species of birds endemic to the Caatinga in order to estimate their potential geographical distribution. Two large regions of greater richness were identified, one associated with the Chapada do Araripe and the Borborema Plateau, and the other with the Upper São Francisco region. These regions correspond to the higher altitude areas, with an average of 450m to 850m. Evaluating the representativeness of the existing Conservation Units (UC), we identified that the areas of greatest richness are lacking in protected areas, which drives the implementation of UCs in these regions. In short, this book seeks to point out the regions of greatest richness of the endemic birds of the Caatinga, in order to support conservation measures to ensure the permanence of local biodiversity.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...

    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...
