A great deal of evidence demonstrates that a strongly clonal population structure of Toxoplasma gondii strains exists in humans and animals in North America and Europe, while the strains from South America are genetically separate and more diverse. P... Read More about Genetic analyses of Chinese isolates of Toxoplasma gondii reveal a new genotype with high virulence to murine hosts.

Season-modulated responses of Neotropical bats to forest fragmentation (2017)
Journal Article
Ferreira, D., Rocha, R., Lopez-Baucells, A., Farneda, F., Carreiras, J., Palmeirim, J., & Meyer, C. (2017). Season-modulated responses of Neotropical bats to forest fragmentation. Ecology and Evolution, 7(11), 4059-4071. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.3005

Seasonality causes fluctuations in resource availability, affecting the presence and abundance of animal species. The impacts of these oscillations on wildlife populations can be exacerbated by habitat fragmentation. We assessed differences in bat sp...
