Managing linguistic obstacles in multidisciplinary, multinational, and multilingual research projects.

Environmental challenges are rarely confined to national, disciplinary, or linguistic domains. Convergent solutions require international collaboration and equitable access to new technologies and practices. The ability of international, multidisciplinary and multilingual research teams to work effectively can be challenging.

Nutritional and Volatile Fingerprint Characteristics of an Amazon Fruit: Ficus subapiculata.

Ficus subapiculata is distributed throughout the Amazon region, although its potential for commercial fruit production has not yet been explored. We describe here the chemical and nutritional composition of F. subapiculata fruits and some aspects of the postharvest maturation.

Temporal change in minimum mortality temperature under changing climate: A multicountry multicommunity observational study spanning 1986-2015.

Background: The minimum mortality temperature (MMT) or MMT percentile (MMTP) is an indicator of population susceptibility to nonoptimum temperatures. MMT and MMTP change over time; however, the changing directions show region-wide heterogeneity. We examined the heterogeneity of temporal changes in MMT and MMTP across multiple communities and in multiple countries.

Functional impact of a deletion in Mycobacterium bovis BCG Moreau celA1 gene.

Several mycobacterial species are known to cause human diseases, such as tuberculosis and leprosy. In addition to these pathogenic species, there are also saprophytic representatives, which occasionally cause opportunistic infections. It is well established that numerous mycobacteria produce biofilms containing cellulose, and their genomes frequently harbor genes involved in cellulose degradation, such as celA1.
