The widespread use of aromatic herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has led to persistent environmental contamination, requiring efficient and sustainable biodegradation strategies. In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel actinobacterial strain, Streptomyces sp. SCPE-10, from contaminated coastal soil, capable of using 2,4-D as its sole carbon source. Phenotypic assays revealed robust growth o...

Leaf scald disease (LSD), caused by Xanthomonas albilineans , and ratoon stunting disease (RSD), caused by Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli , are two major diseases of sugarcane in Brazil. Lab-diagnostic tests and resistant cultivars are the effective strategies to control both diseases. The dot blot immunoassay (DBI) is the diagnostic technology for both, which stresses the need to accurately identify each disease. The adequate sug...

Piscirickettsia salmonis is one of the most significant pathogens affecting salmon farming. Besides liver, head kidney and spleen, skeletal muscle has shown transcriptional immune responses to these bacteria, but the contribution of non-coding RNAs remains poorly understood. This study investigates the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the immune response of rainbow trout skeletal muscle and primary myotube cultures in...

Glucocorticoids are key regulators of vertebrate physiology, orchestrating metabolic, immune, and developmental processes that enable adaptation to stress. In teleosts, cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid, acting through classical genomic pathways and rapid non-genomic mechanisms. Although genomic signaling has been widely characterized, non-genomic actions remain poorly understood in skeletal muscle, a tissue of both biolo...

Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...

Aim Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) and ectomycorrhizas (ECM) have different impacts on nutrient cycling, carbon storage, community dynamics and enhancement of photosynthesis by rising CO 2 . Recent global analyses have concluded that patterns of AM/ECM dominance in forests worldwide are shaped by climate, with soil nutrients contributing negligible additional explanatory power. However, their reliance on nutrient data from GIS su...

Motivation Freshwater ecosystems have been heavily impacted by land‐use changes, but data syntheses on these impacts are still limited. Here, we compiled a global database encompassing 241 studies with species abundance data (from multiple biological groups and geographic locations) across sites with different land‐use categories. This compilation will be useful for addressing questions regarding land‐use change and its impact...
