Understanding the genetic regulation underlying host–microbiota interactions is key to elucidating how microbial communities influence host metabolism, immunity, and physiology. In this context, the main objective of this study was to integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and microbial data to identify shared regulatory variants, highlight key microbial taxa, and prioritize biological pathways related to lipid metabolism, immune...

The genus Amblyomma koch, 1844 contains approximately 138 species, which are mainly distributed in the Afrotropical, Oriental, Neotropical and Australasian zoogeographic regions. This is an important group of arthropod vectors responsible for transmitting a wide range of etiological agents that cause infections and diseases in humans and animals, and is therefore of great interest to public and veterinary health.This study des...

Bees are essential for ecosystem functioning, pollinating many wild and crop plant species. Predicting which species are most vulnerable to global changes, and how their loss may impact ecosystems and human well-being, is critical. Comprehensive information on bee response and effect traits is fundamental to these assessments. However, the Raunkiærian shortfall—insufficient trait data—remains significant for bees, particularly...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of essential oil from Aloysia citrodora (EOAC) (48% citral and 19% limonene) for use in anesthesia and simulated transport of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles at two cargo densities (CDs). Concentrations of 0 (control), 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 µL EOAC L−1 were tested for use in anesthesia induction and recovery, while 0 (control) and 20 µL EOAC L−1 were tested for thei...
