Invasive species are recognised as one of the most important, growing threat to food biosecurity, causing a significant economic loss in agricultural systems. Despite their damaging effect, they are attractive models for the study of evolution and adaptation in newly colonised environments. Curre...

Circadian rhythms are self-autonomous rhythms generated at cellular level with a period close to 24 hours in constant conditions. They are present in diverse organism, from bacteria to mammals. Although they appear independently throughout evolution, the molecular bases governing them are conserv...

El conocimiento del estado de fragmentación y transformación de un paisaje boscoso es crucial para una adecuada planificación y conservación de la biodiversidad. En Chile se encuentra uno de los hotspot mundiales de biodiversidad; dentro de este, se encuentra la Cordillera de Nahuelbuta, la cual ...

Knowledge of the state of fragmentation and transformation of a wooded landscape is crucial for proper planning and conservation of biodiversity. In Chile, there is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots; within this, is the Nahuelbuta Mountain Range, which is considered a world reserve of biod...

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans es la bacteria presente en depósitos de drenajes ácido-mineros más estudiada, ya que juega un papel importante en los procesos de biolixiviación de cobre. Este metal redox en estado libre en la célula es extremadamente tóxico. Por esta razón, los organismos cuentan ...

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is the most studied bacterium in deposits of acid-mining drains, since it plays an important role in copper bioleaching processes. This redox metal free in the cell is extremely toxic. For this reason, organisms have systems to support an increase in its concentrati...

En las últimas décadas las nanoestructuras del tipo core@shell han sido ampliamente utilizadas en el campo de la Catálisis Heterogénea. Este tipo de materiales se caracterizan por poseer un núcleo (core) recubierto por una o más capas (shell), formando una estructura con diferentes componentes fu...

In the last decades, core@shell nanostructures have been widely used in heterogeneous catalysis. Characteristic features of these materials are the presence of a core covered by one or more shell forming a functional multi-component structure integrated in a single unity. Core@shell structures ha...

We prove an inequality concerning isometries of a Gromov hyperbolic metric space, which does not require the space to be proper or geodesic. It involves the joint stable length, a hyperbolic version of the joint spectral radius, and shows that sets of isometries behave like sets of 2×2 real matri...
