- Applying new bio-logging and analytical tools to study the movement ecology and conservation of birds in the caatinga biome, Brazil, AP.JP
Abstract
Using new bio-logging technology, researchers can now answer questions about the behavior, ecology and physiology of wild animals, particularly for wide-ranging or cryptic species, which have previously evaded examination. Many of these research questions are now investigated in the expanding field of Movement Ecology. Conservation scientists and practitioners are increasingly relying on …
- Thermoelectricity and heat transport in topological materials, AP.JP
Abstract
Materials that host energetically low lying interactions with non-trivial topology have attracted a lot of attention due to the potential impact that the manipulation of their metallic topologically protected surface states (TSS) could bring to technological applications in spintronics and quantum computing. Recently, the interest towards the contribution of TSS to thermoelectricity has b…
- APC as an entry point to study small molecule regulation of the cell cycle, AP.JP
Abstract
The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multi-subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a major role in the progression of the eukaryotic cell cycle. This unusual protein complex targets key cell-cycle regulators, such as mitotic cyclins and securins, for degradation via the 26S proteasome by ubiquitination, triggering the metaphase-to-anaphase transition and exit from mitosis.…
- Connecting neurons for social defense, AP.R
Abstract
Understanding neural circuits is more than knowing the pattern of projections and the chemical identity of a certain brain area. Sometimes neurons of the same nucleus and chemical identity project to different targets establishing parallel circuits that may be important to organize different aspects of the same behavior. A way to disentangle these parallel circuits is to look at developme…
- Going deep into the phenylpropanoid metabolism in C4 grasses using Setaria viridis as model species, AP.R
Abstract
Plant biomass, which is mostly composed of polysaccharide-rich secondary cell walls, constitutes a promising source of fermentable sugars for the production of biofuels and biomaterials. However, the presence of the phenolic polymer lignin largely precludes the release of monosaccharides during enzymatic hydrolysis of these cell wall polysaccharides in the biorefinery. Therefore, unraveli…
- Characterization of synaptic vesicle function and neurotransmitter release in the neurodevelopmental course of Schizophrenia, AP.R
Abstract
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that affects 0.7% of the worldwide population. The interactions between genetic and environment factors seem to be responsible for alterations in neurodevelopment, resulting in the manifestation of schizophrenia in late adolescence to early adulthood. The pathophysiology of schizophrenia is highly complex and involves several neurotransmission sys…

- Using the network approach to understand the spatial-use patterns by the Lear's macaw and four species of vulture in Caatinga, BP.PD
Abstract
Animals have the ability to actively select their home ranges and this choice can be determined by the set of biotic and abiotic interactions in their natural habitats. Habitat characteristics are constantly changing due to current anthropogenic changes, resulting in changes in resource availability and, consequently, in the spatial distribution of populations. Thus, understanding how ani…
- Thermoelectricity in topological crystalline Insulators: from bulk to thin films, BP.PD
Abstract
The goal of this project is to investigate the thermoelectric response in candidate topologicalcrystalline insulators (TCI) to bring relevantinsights into the understanding of the organization of charge carriers in this class of materialsand exploring new routes for enhancing thermoelectric performance. To do so, we planto carry out a systematic and comparative study on bulk and thin film…
- Homerange and habitat selection of vultures in the Caatinga, BP.MS
Abstract
Movement ecology provides insights into the specific environmental factors that influence thedistribution and habitat selection of animals. By analyzing the individual movement data of fourspecies of vultures equipped with bio-loggers in the Caatinga, we aim to assess how natural andanthropogenic landscape features affect habitat selection, and individualhome ranges

- Thickness-dependent thermoelectric and heat transport experiments: strategies for sample size manipulation, BP.IC
Abstract
We plan to advance the understanding of the role of non-trivial topology in the determination of thermal transport properties. To meet our goals, we will perform a systematic investigation of thermoelectricity and heat transport at low temperatures in selected single crystals (SmB6, PbTe, and SnTe) with varying thicknesses and with controlled impurities. Careful and systematic work on the…
- Characterization of the overexpressions effect of SAMBA gene in Micro-Tom, BP.IC
Abstract
The Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of key cell cycle proteins. The spatiotemporal degradation of mitotic cyclins and securins ensures the transition from G2/M phase, and exit from the cell division program, respectively. The identification of the genes that encode the APC/C subunits in Arabidopsis thal…
- Neural activity in visual areas of marmosets during free-viewing, BP.PD
Abstract
A main question in neuroscience is how the neural system access and processes information from the surrounding. To do so, visual information in primates is often obtained and processed around the timeframe of 250 ms. This time constraint is brought on by the eye-movements produced during natural vision. The main type of eye-movement used for sampling the environment is known as the saccad…
