Two central Chile lizards differ in their response to the approach of potential predators: Liolaemus lemniscatus escapes from rocky patches into grassy patches, and Liolaemus fuscus runs away from a rock onto another within the same rocky patch. These escaping responses are associated with concealing coloration and comparatively shorter legs in L. lemniscatus, as compared to L. fuscus. The adequacy of the behavior of L. lemniscatus is discussed.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization defines root ecological strategies in an extreme arid environment.
Front Plant Sci
January 2025
Laboratorio de Ecología del Desierto, Departamento de Biología, Universidad de La Serena, La Serena, Chile.
The symbiosis between mycorrhizae fungi and plant roots is essential for plant establishment in nearly all terrestrial ecosystems. However, the role of mycorrhizal colonization (colM) in shaping root ecological strategies remains poorly understood. Emerging research identifies colM as a key trait influencing the multidimensional covariation of root traits within the Root Economic Space (RES), where a 'collaboration gradient' is proposed.

Using the e^{+}e^{-} collision data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, at center-of-mass energies from the threshold to 4.95 GeV, we present precise measurements of the cross section for the process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} using a single-tag method. The resulting cross section line shape exhibits several new structures, thereby offering an input for a future coupled-channel analysis and model tests, which are critical to understand vector charmonium-like states with masses between 4 and 5 GeV.

Objectives: Advanced HIV disease (AHD) at HIV care enrollment is common in Latin America and may bias cross-sectional care continuum estimates. We therefore explored the impact of AHD on HIV care continuum outcomes using a longitudinal approach.
Methods: We analyzed trajectories of 26,174 adult people with HIV enrolled at Caribbean, Central and South America network for HIV epidemiology (CCASAnet) sites (2003-2019) using multi-state Cox regression across five stages: (i) enrolled without antiretroviral therapy (no-ART); (ii) on ART without viral suppression (viral load ≥200 copies/m; ART + non-VS); (iii) on ART with viral suppression (viral load <200 copies/ml; ART + VS); (iv) lost to follow-up; (v) death.
A faunal inventory of methane seeps on the Pacific margin of Costa Rica.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, USA University of California San Diego La Jolla United States of America.
The methane seeps on the Pacific margin of Costa Rica support extensive animal diversity and offer insights into deep-sea biogeography. During five expeditions between 2009 and 2019, we conducted intensive faunal sampling via 63 submersible dives to 11 localities at depths of 300-3600 m. Based on these expeditions and published literature, we compiled voucher specimens, images, and 274 newly published DNA sequences to present a taxonomic inventory of macrofaunal and megafaunal diversity with a focus on invertebrates.
