Abstract
Background

The plant-specific TCP transcription factors play different functions in multiple processes of plant growth and development. TCP family genes have been identified in several plant species, but no comprehensive analysis of the TCP family in grapevine has been undertaken to date, especially their roles in fruit development.

Results

A total of 18 non-redundant grapevine TCP (VvTCP) genes distributing on 11 chromosomes were identified. Phylogenetic and structural analysis showed that VvTCP genes were divided into two main classes - class I and class II. The Class II genes were further classified into two subclasses, the CIN subclass and the CYC/TB1 subclass. Segmental duplication was a predominant duplication event which caused the expansion of VvTCP genes. The cis-acting elements analysis and tissue-specific expression patterns of VvTCP genes demonstrated that these VvTCP genes might play important roles in plant growth and development. Expression patterns of VvTCP genes during fruit development and ripening were analyzed by RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR. Among them, eleven VvTCP genes were down-regulated during different fruit developmental stages, while only one VvTCP genes were up-regulated, suggesting that most VvTCP genes were probably related to early development in grapevine fruit. Futhermore, the expression of most VvTCP genes can be inhibited by drought and waterlogging stresses.

Conclusions

Our study establishes the first genome-wide analysis of the grapevine TCP gene family and provides valuable information for understanding the classification and functions of the TCP genes in grapevine.

Abstract
Background
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a single stranded RNA virus with worldwide distribution that belongs to the genus Pestivirus, family Flaviviridae. Infection of cattle with BVDV causes a range of clinical syndromes and can result in major economic losses. Here, we reported two BVDV isolates obtained from serum collected from cattle in Shandong province, China and commercial fetal bovine serum.
Results
The two BVDV isolates, named BVDV BJ-2013 and BVDV BJ-2016, were both the members of Pestivirus A, belonged to genotype 1a and 1b, respectively. BVDV BJ-2013 was an cytopathogenic biotype virus, meanwhile BVDV BJ-2016 was non-cytopathogenic biotype virus. The two isolates, both with 45.3% GC content, were 12,305 nt (BVDV BJ-2013) and12,273 nt (BVDV BJ-2016) in length. Phylogenetic analyses showed that BVDV BJ-2016 was genotype 1B of Pestvirus A and closely related to isolates from South Korea (JQ418634) and the US (JN380088). Simultaneously, BVDV BJ-2013 was genotype 1A of Pestivirus A and related to isolates from the USA (AF091605) and Germany (AF041040). Recombination analysis showed that BVDV isolate (KJ541471) was a mosaic of sequences derived from two isolates of the genotype 1A. Evolutionary analysis suggested that genotype 1A and 1B had similar relative rates and the dN/dS ratios. Comparison analysis of amino acid sequence indicated that there were 12 amino acids (EGNWLVNADRLM) insertion in NS2 of BVDV BJ-2013.
Conclusion:
In present study, two BVDV isolates were isolated and identified. Phylogenetic analyses and evolutionary analysis suggested that BVDV strains isolated from different regions showed close evolutionary relationships. It also reminded us again that the risk of trans-regional transmission of BVDV and BVDV contamination in commercial fetal bovine serum were what we must not neglect.

Abstract
Background：Systematic review or meta-analysis, the strong study design of high quality evidence, give inconsistent conclusion of long-term effectiveness or efficacy of opioids for chronic non-cancer pain. We appraised the methodological quality of systematic reviews or meta-analyses.

Methods: We found the relevant systematic reviews or meta-analyses by searching Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the International prospective register of systematic reviews, Psyc ARTICLES/OVID, the Chinese Bio-Medical Literature Database, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wan Fang Data and VIP Database on March 1st, 2019. The methodological quality was assessed by A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews-2(AMSTAR-2). Spearman correlation analysis and non-parametric tests were used to assess the association between quality and factors.

Results:
Twenty-one systematic reviews or meta-analyses were included in our study. One has no individual study. In terms of methodological quality, twelve reviews were critically low in overall confidence, four reviews were low, two reviews were moderate, two reviews were high. When referring to the systematic reviews or meta-analyses of relatively better methodological quality with more credible results and conclusions, the effectiveness or efficacy of opioids was small to questionable. Cochrane reviews performed better than non-Cochrane reviews in establishing prior protocol (100% vs 17%, P<0.05), providing an excluded studies list (100% vs 50%, P<0.05) and taking risk of bias into account when interpreting the results of the review (100% vs 75%, P<0.05). There was a strong correlation (ρ=0.526, P<0.05) between the impact factor of systematic reviews or meta-analyses in published journals and methodological quality.

Conclusion
The methodological quality of the included systematic reviews or meta-analyses is far from satisfactory and needs improvement, especially in establishing prior protocol and justifying significant deviations from the protocol, providing an excluded primary studies list, reporting the funding information of primary studies, and assessing the potential impact of risk of bias on individual studies.

Abstract
Objective

The aim is to compare the cost-effectiveness of two long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) delivery models (standard vs new) in universal coverage (UC) campaigns in rural Mozambique.

Results

The total financial cost of delivering LLINs was US$ 231,237.30 and US$ 174,790.14 in the intervention (302,648 LLINs were delivered) and control districts (219,613 LLINs were delivered), respectively. The average cost-effectiveness ratio (ACER) per LLIN delivered and ACER per household (HH) achieving UC was lower in the intervention districts. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) per LLIN and ICER per HH reaching UC were US$ 0.68 and US$ 2.24, respectively. Both incremental net benefit (for delivered LLIN and for HHs reaching UC) were positive (intervention deemed cost-effective). Overall, the newer delivery model was the more cost-effective intervention. However, the long-term sustainability of either delivery models is far from guaranteed in Mozambique’s current economic context.

Abstract: In this paper we present an updated checklist of the complete mammal fauna of Mexico, including all the native and introduced terrestrial and marine species that have been reported for the country. With 504 species, Mexico has one of the most diverse mammalian faunas of the world, second only to Indonesia in terms of number of species. There are 147 endemic species and the rest are a combination of species of Nearctic and Neotropical affinities in similar proportions. The conservation status of species indicates that there are severe environmental problems, because eight species have disappeared in the last century, and 202 are classified in one of the categories of conservation concern. Finally, there are three introduced species that have become established in the country.Resumen: En este trabajo presentamos una lista actualizada de los mamíferos terrestres, marinos e introducidos de México.

RESUMEN: Se determinaron los componentes principales y su variación estacional de la dieta del Tayassu pecari y Pecari tajacu en la región de Calakmul, Campeche, durante el período de mayo de 2005 a julio de 2006. Del análisis de 22 estómagos de P. tajacu, se encontró que los componentes más abundantes durante el año fueron los frutos (57.9%) y las hojas (30.1%). De las 37 especies vegetales consumidas por P. tajacu las principales fueron: Brosimum alicastrum, Manilkara zapota, Pipper amalago, Zea maiz y una más no identificada. Se analizaron nueve estómagos y 16 excretas de T. pecari, encontrando que consume 41 especies vegetales donde el componente más abundante en contenidos estomacales y excretas fueron los frutos con 81.2% y 66.8% respectivamente. Las principales especies consumidas por T. pecari fueron B. alicastrum, Chamaedorea sp, M. zapota, Mimosa sp, P. amalago y una no identificada. Ambos pecaríes compartieron 32 especies y sus nichos alimenticios no se sobrepusieron significativamente (Qjk= 0.58). Las dos especies de pecaríes juegan un papel de predadores de semillas de las especies de las cuales se alimentan.PALABRAS CLAVE: Calakmul, dieta, coexistencia, Tayassuidae, Tayassu pecari y Pecari tajacu.ABSTRACT:We determined the main components as well as seasonal differences on the diet of Tayassu pecari and Pecari tajacu in the Calakmul Region in Southern Mexico. Analyses of 22 stomach contents of P. tajacu revealed that this species consume more fruits (57.9 %) than leaves (30.1). From 37 plant species found to be consumed by P. tajacu, the dominant species were: Brosimum alicastrum, Manilkara zapota, Pipper amalago, Zea maiz and an unidentified species. We analyzed nine stomach contents and 16 feces of T. pecari and found that he feeds on 41 species of plants where the main components were fruits too (81.2 % on stomach and 66.8 % on feces). The main species consumed by T. pecari were B. alicastrum, Chamaedorea sp, M. zapota, Mimosa sp, P. amalago and one unidentified species. Despite both peccary species shared 32 species on their diet, their feeding niche was not significant overlapped. Collared peccary and white-lipped peccary are playing a seed predator role for several of the species on which they feed upon.

Abstract: The Northern naked-tailed armadillo Cabassous centralis is distributed from México to Ecuador (0-3 000 m asl) in numerous habitats from dry forests to subparamo, tolerating some habitat modification and mixed landscapes including agriculture. Despite its wide range, there is still little known about the species’ ecology, based on a few confirmed records, and it is underrepresented in collections. Here we present the first confirmed records for the species in the Sucre Department of Colombia, through a photograph and a track recorded as part of an intensive field sampling effort. These new records provide insights into the species’ ecology, rarity, presence, and potential tolerance to moderate disturbance.

Los valores culturales de los murciélagos
Authors: Retana-Guiascón Oscar G. , Navarijo-Ornelas María L. 
Published: August 2019

Los murciélagos al igual que otros grupos animales han formado parte del repertorio de percepciones, conceptos y símbolos entre las distintas sociedades mesoamericanas. En el México prehispánico la adhesión de estos vínculos y su transmisión de generación en generación forjaron en la colectividad una serie de valores culturales, los cuales, además de dar cohesión e identidad comunal, han funcionado como elementos de orden y control social, pues de manera directa o indirecta intervinieron en el proceso de conocimiento y uso de la fauna silvestre. Con base en estos conceptos, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue establecer los tipos de valores culturales atribuidos a los murciélagos en el México prehispánico. Por medio de una investigación documental aplicando las técnicas de fuentes secundarias y terciarias, se establecieron cuatro tipos de valores culturales para los murciélagos: iconográfico, religioso; simbólico y mítico, los cuales concentran 15 subtipos de valores, entre los que destaca el vínculo de murciélago como glifo emblema de autoridades, signo calendárico, deidad y elemento totémico. La importancia de este tipo de estudios reside en evidenciar primariamente los valores culturales vinculados a los quirópteros y ubicar su utilidad actual en las estrategias locales y/o regionales relativas a su conocimiento y conservación. palabras clave: fauna silvestre, valores culturales, conservación, sociedades mesoamericanas Bats as well as other animal groups have formed part of the traditional knowledge of perceptions, concepts and symbols among the different Mesoamerican societies. In the prehispanic México accession of these links and its transmission from generation to generation forged in the community a series of cultural values, which, in addition to cohesion and communal identity, have functioned as elements of order and social control, thus directly or indirectly involved in the process of knowledge and use of wildlife. Based on these aspects, the objective of the present work was to establish the types of cultural values attributed to bats in the prehispanic México. Through a documentary research applying the techniques of secondary and tertiary sources, establishes four types of cultural values for bats: iconographic, religious; symbolic and mythical, which concentrated 15 subtypes of values, among them the link of bat as glyph emblem of authorities, printed, deity and totemic element sign. The importance of this type of study is primarily evidenced cultural values linked to the bats and locates your current utility on the local and/or regional strategies concerning their knowledge and conservation. keywords: Bats, cultural values, conservation, mesoamerican societies
Distribución de felinos en áreas naturales protegidas de Honduras

Published: August 2019

RESUMENEn Honduras ocurren cinco especies de felinos, jaguar (Panthera onca), puma (Puma concolor), ocelote (Leopardus pardalis), caucel (Leopardus wiedii) y el yaguarundí (Puma yagouaroundi). Se comparó la composición de las cinco especies de felinos en 15 áreas naturales protegidas, las cuales se agruparon en tres regiones con diferentes zonas de vida, ecosistemas y gradientes altitudinal siendo estas; la región Moskitia, la región Central y la región Caribe. Se evaluó la detección de felinos con la presencia/ausencia en cada área. Se realizó un dendrograma y un análisis no métrico multidimensional para comparar la similitud entre áreas protegidas y especies. El hallazgo significativo es la ausencia del jaguar en las áreas protegidas de la región Central de Honduras, donde posiblemente se ha dado su extirpación. El puma, el ocelote, el caucel y el yaguarundí, se registran en las tres regiones del país. Al comparar la composición de los felinos en las tres regiones usando el análisis de similitud, este presentó diferencias significativas entre las áreas protegidas evaluadas. La región Central mostró menor composición que la región del Caribe y la Moskitia. La región de la Moskitia hondureña se muestra como la región con mayor resilencia para mantener las cinco especies de felinos.Palabras clave: Composición, conglomerados, escalamiento multi-dimesional no métrico (nmds), análisis de similitud (anosim), disimilitud, Moskitia. ABSTRACTHonduras is territory of five species of cats, jaguar (Panthera onca), puma (Puma concolor), ocelots (Leopardus pardalis), margay (Leopardus wiedii) and the yaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi). The composition of the five cats in 15 protected areas was compared grouped in three regions: the Moskitia, Caribbean and Central region with different life zones, ecosystems and altitudinal levels. Cat detection was evaluated by presence/absence in each protected area. Cluster analysis and non- metric multidimentional scaling were used to compare similarity between protected areas and species. The significant finding is the absence of the jaguar in protected areas in the Central Region of Honduras confirming local extirpation. Puma, ocelots, margay and the yaguarundi are present in the three regions. Comparing composition of cats between the three region using similarity analysis this presented significant difference between protected areas. The Central region showed a lower composition in cat structure that The Caribbean and Moskitia region. The Honduran Moskitia region showed a higher resilience to maintain the five cats.Key words: Composition, conglomerates, non-metric multidimentional scaling (nmds), analysis of similarity (anosim), dissimilarity, Moskitia.
