    Abstract: Communicating about science with the public can present a number of challenges, from participation to engagement to impact. In an effort to broadly communicate messages regarding biodiversity, evolution, and tree-thinking with the campus community at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), a public, primarily undergraduate institution, we created a campus-wide, science-themed meal, “Tasting the Tree of Life: Exploring Biodiversity through Cuisine.” We created nine meals that incorporated 149 species/ingredients across the Tree of Life. Each meal illustrated a scientific message communicated through interactions with undergraduate biology students, informational signs, and an interactive website. To promote tree-thinking, we reconstructed a phylogeny of all 149 ingredients. In total, 3,262 people attended the meal, and evaluations indicated that participants left with greater appreciation for the biodiversity and evolutionary relatedness of their food. A keynote lecture and a coordinated social media campaign enhanced the scientific messages, and media coverage extended the reach of this event. “Tasting the Tree of Life” highlights the potential of cuisine as a valuable science communication tool.

    Abstract: La investigación analizó la representación social sobre genética molecular de docentes de Biología en formación. Bajo esta concepción, los conocimientos científicos son reelaborados a partir de información proveniente de diferentes contextos y se instalan según la intensidad, interés e importancia, emergiendo las dimensiones de información, actitud y campo de la representación.  La investigación fue de campo, exploratoria, con 44 participantes. Se utilizó la técnica asociativa, se calcularon frecuencias de evocación, frecuencia de primer término evocado e índices de prestigio, abstracción y centralidad. La representación social mostró un amplio abanico informativo con actitud positiva hacia los logros de esta disciplina. Las categorías gen y ADN constituyeron el núcleo central o imagen icónica de la representación. Desde el accionar pedagógico se sugirió fortalecer competencias de valoración y establecimiento de relaciones causales entre el avance el desarrollo tecnológico y la genética molecular.

    Abstract: Panstrongylus geniculatus es un triatomino, vector del Trypanosoma cruzi, agente etiológico de la Enfermedad de Chagas, propio de los corredores biológicos que se dan entre ciclos de transmisión urbano y periurbano en Venezuela. Los modelos de nicho ecológico y distribución potencial de especies permiten conocer la relación entre los factores climáticos y la presencia real de las especies. El modelo de distribución geográfica potencial para P. geniculatus, generado mediante MAXENT, mostró áreas con condiciones bioclimáticas próximas a su nicho ecológico; así, definió una amplia distribución potencial con énfasis en la zona norte costera de Venezuela (estados Lara, Yaracuy, Carabobo, Aragua, Miranda, Distrito Capital, Vargas, Monagas y Sucre) con probabilidades de media a muy altas (0,56 - 1). También predijo áreas con condiciones de idoneidad en estados occidentales y orientales a pesar de que los registros reales son escasos. La isotermalidad y temperatura máxima del mes más caliente contribuyeron en 43,4 % al establecimiento del modelo, en tanto que variables relacionadas con la precipitación, contribuyeron en 56,6 %. Esto coincide con el hecho de que los triatominos son termo-tolerantes y se distribuyen en función de la temperatura, la cual también condiciona el número de triatominos infectados. Las áreas geográficas idóneas del país serían zonas de riesgo para la infestación triatomínica y la transmisión de T. cruzi, por coincidencia con la zona de mayor densidad de la poblacional humana, lo cual requeriría afinar estrategias de vigilancia entomológica y control epidemiológico.

    Abstract: Panstrongylus is a Neotropical taxa of 16 species, some more widespread than others, that act as vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease (CD). This group is associated with mammalian reservoir niches. There are few studies of the biogeography and niche suitability of these triatomines. Using zoo-epidemiological occurrence databases, the distribution of Panstrongylus was determined based on bioclimatic modelling (DIVA GIS), parsimonious niche distribution (MAXENT), and parsimony analysis of endemic species (PAE). Through 517 records, a wide presence of P. geniculatus, P. rufotuberculatus, P. lignarius, and P. megistus was determined and recorded as frequent vectors of T. cruzi in rainforest habitats of 24–30 °C. These distributions were modeled with AUC 〉 0.80 and 〈 0.90, as well as with the seasonality of temperature, isothermality, and precipitation as relevant bioclimatic variables. Individual traces for each taxon in Panstrongylus—1036 records—showed widely dispersed lines for frequent vectors P. geniculatus, P. lignarius, P. rufotuberculatus, and P. megistus. Other occasional vectors showed more restricted dispersal, such as P. howardi, P. humeralis, P. lenti, P. lutzi, P. tupynambai, P. noireaiui, and P. chinai. Areas of defined environmental variation, geological change, and trans domain fluid fauna, such as the American Transition Zone and the Pacific Domain of Morrone, had the highest Panstrongylus diversity. Pan-biogeographic nodes appear to be areas of the greatest species diversity that act as corridors connecting biotopes and allowing fauna migration. Vicariance events in the geologic history of the continent need to be investigated. The geographical distribution of Panstrongylus overlapped with CD cases and Didelphis marsupialis/Dasypus novemcinctus presence, two important reservoirs in Central and South America. The information derived from the distribution of Panstrongylus provides knowledge for surveillance and vector control programs. It would increase information on the most and less relevant vector species of this zoonotic agent, for monitoring their population behavior.
