Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who depend on …

… undergoing lysogeny caused by phage coinfections was estimated in four types of marine
ecosystems by applying the coinfections biophysical model introduced in Luque and Silveira, …

Coral reefs are one of the most productive ecosystems on the planet, with primary production
rates compared to that of rain forests. Benthic organisms release 10–50% of their gross …

Microbial viruses can control host abundances via density-dependent lytic predator–prey
dynamics. Less clear is how temperate viruses, which coexist and replicate with their host, …

Microbialization refers to the observed shift in ecosystem trophic structure towards higher
microbial biomass and energy use. On coral reefs, the proximal causes of microbialization are …

Marine viruses are key drivers of host diversity, population dynamics and biogeochemical
cycling and contribute to the daily flux of billions of tons of organic matter. Despite recent …

Phages can exploit their bacterial hosts by lytic infection, when many viral particles are released
at cell lysis, or by lysogeny, when phages integrate into the host’s genome. We recently …

Background SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus causing COVID-19. The clinical characteristics
and epidemiology of COVID-19 have been extensively investigated, however, only one study …

Background Archaea are ubiquitous symbionts of marine sponges but their ecological roles
and the influence of environmental factors on these associations are still poorly understood. …

A prevalência da doença renal crônica aumentou nos últimos anos. Os efeitos dessa
doença são complexos e podem levar à disfunção de múltiplos órgãos, entre eles, a pele. A …
