Number of captured birds (and number of recaptures), number of individual birds with intact seeds, number of individual birds with more than 10 pollen grains and number of individual birds with both intact seeds and pollen grains. Birds were captured with mist nets, operating for five consecutive hours after sunrise on each sampling day on two Galápagos Islands (SC = San Cristóbal and SX = Santa Cruz).; Intra- and inter-layer edge weights for each bird species captured on the islands of San Cristóbal (top) and Santa Crux (bottom). ; Sampling effort (i.e. number of nets multiplied by the number of hours) and number of captured birds with mist nets, operating for five consecutive hours after sunrise on each sampling day, from March 2010 to February 2011, on two Galápagos Islands (San Cristóbal and Santa Cruz).; Generalised linear mixed model testing if multilayer versatility is influenced by species abundances in Galápagos birds. This analysis considered Geospiza fuliginosa as an outlier and was compared with Fig. 4 (Abundance plot) to check if the outlier effect influenced the positive relationship between versatility and abundance.

Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a dated phylogenetic tree of 262 lacertid species based on a supermatrix relying on novel phylogenomic datasets and fossil calibrations. Diversification of lacertids was accompanied by an increasing disparity among occupied bioclimatic niches, especially in the last 10 Ma, during a period of progressive global cooling. Temperate species also underwent a genome-wide slowdown in molecular substitution rates compared to tropical and desert-adapted lacertids. Evaporative water loss and preferred temperature are correlated with bioclimatic parameters, indicating physiological adaptations to climate. Tropical, but also some populations of cool-adapted species experience maximum temperatures close to their preferred temperatures. We hypothesize these species-specific physiological preferences may constitute a handicap to prevail under rapid global warming, and contribute to explaining local lizard extinctions in cool and humid climates. © 2019, The Author(s).

A technique for the accurate computation of the time domain electromagnetic fields radiated by a charged distribution traveling along an arbitrarily shaped waveguide region is presented. Based on the transformation (by means of the standard Fourier analysis) of the time-varying current density of the analyzed problem to the frequency domain, the resulting equivalent current is further convolved with the dyadic electric and magnetic Green's functions. Moreover, we show that only the evaluation of the transverse magnetic modes of the structure is required for the calculation of fields radiated by particles traveling in the axial direction. Finally, frequency domain electric and magnetic fields are transformed back to the time domain, just obtaining the total fields radiated by the charged distribution. Furthermore, we present a method for the computation of the wakefields of arbitrary cross-section uniform waveguides from the resulting field expressions. Several examples of charged particles moving in the axial direction of such waveguides are included., The authors would like to thank ESA/ESTEC for having cofunded this research activity through the Network Partnering Initiative program and through the project "Multipactor Analysis in Planar Transmission Lines" (contract 20841/08/NL/GLC).

Propósito: El propósito de esta investigación fue realizar un estudio in vitro del sellado marginal de 80 incrustaciones de resina compuesta cementadas con resina compuesta fluida utilizando un sistema adhesivo autograbante (Go!, SDI, Australia) y un sistema adhesivo con grabado ácido total (Stae, SDI, Australia). Método: Las piezas dentarias restauradas fueron puestas en una estufa a 37ºC y 100% de humedad relativa durante 48 horas para simular las condiciones bucales. Luego fueron sometidas a termociclado, en una solución de azul de metileno al 1%. Posteriormente las muestras fueron cortadas en sentido vestíbulo lingual o palatino, para ser observadas bajo un microscopio óptico, para evaluar la interfase diente restauración midiendo los porcentajes de filtración para ambos grupos. Resultados: Los resultados fueron analizados estadísticamente mediante el t-test de Student obteniéndose diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos estudiados. Conclusión: Todos los cuerpos de prueba presentaron algún grado de filtración marginal, sin embargo el grupo que utilizó un sistema adhesivo autograbante demostró tener valores significativamente mayores de filtración que el grupo que utilizó el sistema convencional. Aim: The purpose of this research was to study the marginal sealing in 80 composite resin inlay, bonded with flow composite resin using a Self-etch fluid (Go!, SDI, Australia) versus a total-etching system (Stae, SDI, Australia). Method: The samples were placed in an oven at 37ºC and 100% humidity for 48 hours, after which the samples were thermocycled in a methylene blue 1% solution. This cycle was repeated 80 times. The samples were cut transversally, the restorations were observed trough an optical microscope to calculate the percentage of filtration in relation to the total length of the cavity to the axial wall. Results: The results were statistically analyzed by Student t-test. And there were significant differences in the marginal leakage. The group that used a Self-etch adhesive system showed significantly higher marginal leakage values than the group that used the conventional system. Conclusion: All the samples showed some degree of marginal leakage, but the group using a self-etching adhesive system showed marginal leakage values significantly higher than the group using the conventional one.

Estudiamos la epidemiología de las fracturas de la extremidad distal del radio en el área de salud de Badajoz atendidos en urgencias del Hospital Universitario Infanta Cristina que cubre una población de 237.732 habitantes mayores de 15 años, entre Noviembre de 2003 a Octubre de 2004. Se recogieron los datos de edad, sexo, lateralidad, antecedentes personales, lugar donde ocurrió la fractura, mecanismo de producción. El número total fue de 379, de las que 250 (66%) se produjeron en mujeres. La incidencia en hombres fue de 12,5 por 10000 y en la mujeres de 23,5 por 10.000. La edad media fue de 57 años. El lado más afectado fue el izquierdo con 210 (55,6%), 169 (43%) el derecho y 6 (1,3%) bilaterales. Las enfermedades concomitantes más frecuentes fueron la hipertensión arterial, la enfermedad neurológica y la diabetes. Un 12,9% de los pacientes seguía o tenía algún tipo de tratamiento contra la osteoporosis. La caída casual o deportiva fueron las causas más frecuentes. Hubo una mayor incidencia en los meses de verano. The epidemiology of distal radius fracture has being studied in Badajoz and its sanitary area during November 2003 to October 2004. The population over 15 years old of this area was 237.732. Age, sex, side, comorbility, mechanism of production were studied. Total number was 379, of which 260 (66%) were in women. The annual incidence was 23.5 per 10000 in women and 12.5 in men per 10.000 inhabitant. The median age was 57. The left side was affected in 210 cases and the right in 169, and bilateral in 6. Arterial hypertension, neurological diseases and diabetes were the most frequent associated diseases. Some form of osteoporosis treatment was taken by 12. 9% . Casual and sport falls were the most frequent mechanism. Most of fractures occur during summer.
