Cancer associated fibroblasts mitigate the efficacy of the combination treatment of chemotherapy and BCL-xL targeting in triple negative breast cancer cells

This study shows that BCL-xL promotes chemotherapy resistance in TNBC cells, and CAFs reduce the effectiveness of chemotherapy combined with BCL-xL inhibition.

There and Back to the Present: An Evolutionary Tale on Biological Diversity

The paper introduces an individual-based simulation with ABC to study niche evolution and dispersal limitation in Phyllostomidae bats, showing their impact on biodiversity distribution.

The Hidden Side Of Diversity: Effects Of Imperfect Detection On Multiple Dimensions Of Biodiversity

The paper evaluates how imperfect detection affects taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity in ecological communities using fruit-feeding butterflies in a subtropical forest.

Potential mammalian species for investigating the past connections between Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest

The paper identifies 127 mammalian species with available genetic data that could be used to study past connections between Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest through phylogeographic analysis.

naturaList: a package to classify occurrence records in levels of confidence in species identification

naturaList classifies species occurrence records by confidence levels and filters data to improve quality for biodiversity studies.

Revisiting the dimensionality of biological diversity

This study revisits biodiversity dimensionality by proposing a framework that integrates correlation and variation of diversity metrics, applied to South American small mammal communities.

Evoregions: Mapping Shifts in Phylogenetic Turnover Across Biogeographic Regions

This paper introduces evoregions, a framework to identify biogeographic regions important for evolutionary diversification by using phylogenetic turnover instead of species distribution.
