Evaluating the phytotoxicity of sodium diclofenac treated with heterogeneous photocatalysisNARA Subscribed
Pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in surface water, and even at trace concentrations, they may pose ecological and health risks. In this study, heterogeneous photocatalysis using titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) was applied under simulated solar irradiation to degrade sodium diclofenac. Irradiation times of 60, 120, and 180 min were used with a TiO 2 loading of 0.6 g L −1 . Under these conditions, only ~ 20% diclofenac degrad...
Mussels enhance digestive enzyme activity in preparation for stressful fluctuating environmentsNARA Subscribed
Elevated heat and low phytoplankton abundance are physiologically and ecologically challenging marine organisms of the northeast Pacific, including the mussel Mytilus californianus . During low tide, mussels are exposed to warm air and undergo anaerobic metabolism. Tidal variation coincides with daily fluctuations in food availability requiring flexible response systems (e.g., changes in digestive enzyme activity) to maintain...
Effect of microalgae and a cyanobacteria mixture on germinative activity, growth, and cannabinoid production in Cannabis sativa plantsNARA Subscribed
The enhancement in agricultural productivity has been achieved through the application of pesticides and nutrients, mainly of synthetic origin. This practice has led to a dependence on the use of agrochemicals in order to obtain better results. However, the overuse application has created environmental and toxicological problems, so other alternatives are needed. For this reason, this study focused on evaluating the biostimula...
Aotearoa New Zealand’s marine carbon cycle in a changing climate – Current understanding and future directionsNARA Subscribed
The marine system plays a critical role in the global climate cycle, as a major control of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Marine primary production (photosynthesis) and remineralisation of organic carbon (respiration, degradation) determine the amount of CO 2 sequestered in marine sediments and deep‐water environments on century to millennial timescales. The stocks and fluxes of the marine carbon cycle are susceptible to...
Phylogenetic and Functional Biogeographic Approach for Rodent Conservation Across an Environmental Gradient in ChileNARA Subscribed
Aim Understanding how abiotic factors influence species diversity, evolution and functional patterns of species is crucial for biodiversity conservation and for the management of terrestrial protected areas. We evaluate biogeographic and phylogenetic metrics in rodents to understand biodiversity patterns and improve wildlife conservation strategies. Location Chile, South America. Taxon Rodents (Mammalia, Rodentia). Methods We...
To meet scientific, policy, and community goals, there is a critical need to strengthen research capacity, increase monitoring, and inform adaptation and mitigation policies to enhance resilience against ocean acidification (OA) and associated multi-stressors in the Caribbean. In 2023, an OA Needs Based Assessment survey of ocean professionals was conducted, engaging 59 participants from across the wider Caribbean to evaluate...
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...
Advances in Reproduction, Nutrition and Disease Research in the Yellowtail Kingfish ( Seriola lalandi ) AquacultureNARA Subscribed
Yellowtail kingfish ( Seriola lalandi ) is a species of significant value in aquaculture, with a broad distribution across subtropical and temperate seas. Although global production has doubled in 7 years, reaching approximately 9000 tons per year in 2021, its cultivation remains limited compared to other mainstream species. The commercial aquaculture of this species faces several key challenges in achieving improved productio...
Tropical Land‐Use Change Disrupts Zeta‐Diversity Across TaxaNARA Subscribed
Land‐use change causes community turnover via local extinction and colonisation of species, driving biotic homogenization or heterogenization at larger spatial scales. Quantification of these processes has focused on beta‐diversity metrics, which upweight rarity and overlook the role of widespread species. A key knowledge gap is understanding the impact of land‐use change on both rare and widespread species—zeta‐diversity—allo...

Chirping across continents: variation in urban house sparrow (Passer domesticus) vocalizations across North America and EuropeNARA Subscribed
The house sparrow ( Passer domesticus ) is one of the most widespread invasive bird species, with numerous and dense populations established across urban-agricultural landscapes of North America. Although this species has been widely studied to identify the traits that explain its global ubiquity, descriptions of house sparrow acoustic features across its native and introduced range are limited in the literature. We recorded m...
River Drying Causes Local Losses and Regional Gains in Aquatic Invertebrate Metacommunity Diversity: A Cross‐Continental ComparisonNARA Subscribed
Drying river networks include non‐perennial reaches that cease to flow or dry, and drying is becoming more prevalent with ongoing climate change. Biodiversity responses to drying have been explored mostly at local scales in a few regions, such as Europe and North America, limiting our ability to predict future global scenarios of freshwater biodiversity. Locally, drying acts as a strong environmental filter that selects for sp...
