“…Having a local name appears to be negative; for example, journals whose name and authorship remain local despite efforts to attract foreign authors include the Acta Botanica Croatica, Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research or Australasian Plant Pathology (Jokić & Sirotić, 2002;Krieger & Ferreira, 2003;Calver, O'Brien, & Lilith, 2012;Carreño, Poutou., Mattar, & González, 2009;Villar, Estrada, Pérez, & Rebollo, 2007). Possibly, thanks to the prestige of American science, journals with the word American in their name do not seem to suffer from the negative "provincial" association (e.g.…”

Abstract:The Revista de Biología Tropical / International Journal of Tropical Biology and Conservation, founded in 1953, publishes feature articles about tropical nature and is considered one of the leading journals in Latin America. This article analyzes document type, language, countries, institutions, citations and -for the first time-article lifespan, from 1976 through 2014. We analyzed 3 978 documents from the Science Citation Index Expanded. Articles comprised 88 % of the total production and had 3.7 citations on average, lower than reviews. Spanish and English articles were nearly equal in numbers, and citation for English articles was only slightly higher. Costa Rica, Mexico, and the USA are the countries with more articles, and the leading institutions were Universidad de Costa Rica, Universidad Nacional, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico and Universidad de Oriente (Venezuela). The citation lifespan of articles is long, around 37 years. It is not surprising that Costa Rica, Mexico, and Venezuela lead in productivity and cooperation, because they are mostly covered by tropical ecosystems and share a common culture and a tradition of scientific cooperation. The same applies to the leading institutions, which are among the largest Spanish language universities in the neotropical region. American output can be explained by the regional presence of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Organization for Tropical Studies. Tropical research does not have the rapid change typical of medical research, and for this reason, the impact factor misses most of citations for the Revista, which are made after the two-year window used by the Web of Science. This issue is especially damaging for the Revista because most journals that deal with tropical biology are never checked when citations are counted by the Science Citation Index. Rev. Biol.

Interferon-α (IFN-α) resists viral infections by triggering the transcription of a diverse range of antiviral IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). However, information about the Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) IFN-α (PcIFN-α) has not been reported. In this study, a PcIFN-α gene was amplified, which encoded a protein of 193 amino acids with a 26-amino acid signal peptide sharing 72.16-95.70% identity with other avians in Aves. After expression in prokaryote, PcIFN-α was analyzed for its physicochemical property and antiviral activity. Intriguingly, compared with chicken IFN-α, an effective viral infection therapeutic agent, PcIFN-α showed superior anti-VSV, NDV, and AIV activities, which were then abrogated by rabbit anti-PcIFN-α antibodies in vitro. Moreover, PcIFN-α was shown to be highly sensitive to trypsin; however, it remained stable despite changes in pH and temperature. Additionally, PcIFN-α induced the transcriptional or translational levels of Mx1 and ISG12 genes time-dependently. Overall, the present study revealed that PcIFN-α is a potential novel effective therapeutic agent in antiviral defense responses in peafowl, improving understanding of its involvement in bird antiviral defense.

“…A Reação de Alarme constitui o início do processo reativo, sendo desencadeada por uma condição não específica, comum para diversos estímulos e caracterizada pela secreção de catecolaminas (adrenalina e noradrenalina) e glicocorticóides (corticosterona -ratos, cortisolhumanos). Como a homeostasia dos organismos é controlada por uma série de fatores que "flutuam", na tentativa de permitir uma adaptação ótima às condições do meio (Rietveld, 1996), na Fase de Resistência o organismo tende a atingir novamente um estado ótimo de adaptação frente ao estímulo aplicado, desaparecendo os sintomas que eram evidentes na reação de alarme.…”
