Erratum: Development of a generic activation mode: nucleophilic a-substitution of ketones via oxy-allyl cations
Erratum.Oxy-allyl cations have been known as transient electrophilic species since they were first proposed as intermediates in the Favorskii rearrangement in 1894. Since that time, they also have been used as a mode of activation for [4 + 3] cycloadditions in a variety of natural product syntheses. In this manuscript, we describe a method for the interception of oxy-allyl cations with a diverse range of common nucleophiles, thereby demonstrating the value of this intermediate as a generic mode of activation. This simple, mild, room temperature protocol allows for the formation of a variety of high value carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds that are readily incorporated within a series of cyclic and acyclic ketone systems. Initial efforts into the development of an enantioselective catalytic variant are also described

Relationship between morphology and trophic ecology in an assemblage of passerine birds in riparian forests of the Paraná River (Argentina)
We describe the ecomorphology of an assemblage of bird species found in riparian forests of the Middle Paraná River, Argentina. We sought to determine (1) the more important morphological characteristics that separate coexisting species, (2) whether such separation was related to the trophic ecology of each species and (3) whether a priori guilds showed morphological similarity. We tested the hypotheses that (a) a species' morphology is related to the trophic ecology of that species and (b) that species of a priori guilds are morphometrically more similar to each other than to species of different a priori guilds. For this, we considered an assemblage of 29 species of birds from riparian forest that were sampled with mist nets during the 2011 and 2014 breeding seasons. We obtained morphometric measurements of captured individuals and supplemented those data with measurements from museum specimens. Trophic characterisation (diet and trophic microhabitat) was based on a literature review. Results showed a separation of bird species as a function of variables related to trophic ecology (diets and trophic microhabitats) and morphology. After controlling for phylogenetic constraint, species' morphology partially reflected the trophic ecology of the species, supporting the central hypothesis of the ecomorphological discipline and showing that the use of trophic and morphometric data provides complementary data to improve the guild organisation of riparian bird assemblages.Fil: Quiroga, Virginia Mariela.
