Geographic distribution and morphological variation in Mimon bennettii (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) Distribuição geográfica e variação morfológica em Mimon bennettii (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae)

We studied discrete and quantitative data from 88 specimens of the subgenus Mimon previously identified as Mimon bennettii (Gray, 1838) and M.cozumelae Goldman, 1914 from diverse parts of their range.Our data indicate that specimens of Mimon bennetii in Brazil presented geographic variation in morphometrical characters and mosaic variation in quali

Gag mutations strongly contribute to HIV-1 resistance to protease inhibitors in highly drug-experienced patients besides compensating for fitness loss.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) resistance to protease inhibitors (PI) gotrax handlebar results from mutations in the viral protease (PR) that reduce PI binding but also decrease viral replicative capacity (RC).Additional mutations compensating for the RC loss subsequently accumulate within PR and in Gag substrate cleavage sites.We exam
