c-di-AMP determines the hierarchical organization of bacterial RCK proteins

R. Rocha, J. M. P. Jorge, C. M. Teixeira-Duarte, I. R. Figueiredo-Costa, C. Herzberg, J. Stuelke, J. H. Morais-Cabral

The paper investigates the role of c-di-AMP in regulating bacterial RCK proteins, showing that KtrC is dominant in K+ transport inhibition while KtrA is insensitive, and that c-di-AMP determines the hierarchical organization of these proteins.

Erosion of phylogenetic diversity in Neotropical bat assemblages: findings from a whole-ecosystem fragmentation experiment

S. G. Aninta, R. Rocha, A. Lopez-Baucells, C. F. J. Meyer

This study examines how habitat fragmentation affects phylogenetic diversity in Neotropical bats, finding that smaller fragments and matrix areas lose evolutionary history, while larger fragments retain similar diversity to continuous forests.
