The robustness of complex networks was one of the first phenomena studied after the inception of network science.However, many contemporary presentations of this theory do not go beyond the original papers.Here we revisit this topic with the aim of providing a deep but didactic skateboards introduction.We pay attention to some complications in the
Knowledge of potential reservoirs of Leishmania spp.in an anthropic environment is important so that surveillance and control measures can be implemented.The aim of this study was to investigate the infection by Leishmania in small mammals in an area located in Minas Cartridges Gerais, Brazil, that undergoes changes in its natural environment and p
Pollinator preferences for phenotypic characters, including floral orientation, can affect plant reproductive success.For example, hawkmoths and syrphid flies prefer upward- over downward-facing flowers in field experiments.Although such preferences suggest a cost of pendent flowers in terms of pollinator attraction, we cannot rule out the possibil
Abstract Chronic backpacks demyelination and oligodendrocyte loss deprive neurons of crucial support.It is the degeneration of neurons and their connections that drives progressive disability in demyelinating disease.However, whether chronic demyelination triggers neurodegeneration and how it may do so remain unclear.We characterize two genetic mou
