A new species of Hyphessobrycon is described from a tributary of Rio Jatuarana, lower Rio Aripuanã basin, Rio Madeira basin, Apuí, Amazonas. The new species is part of the Hyphessobrycon agulha lineage, with the typical midlateral narrow black stripe immediately followed dorsally by an iridescent stripe. Its phylogenetic position is corroborated by the DNA barcoding methodology, which also indicates the new species as closely...

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...
Repellent activity and toxicity of the essential oil of Calyptranthes concinna DC. using the model insect Drosophila melanogasterNARA Subscribed
Insects, belonging to the phylum Arthropoda, play essential roles in ecosystems, play essential roles in ecosystems, such as pollination, pest control, and decomposition. However, some species are vectors of diseases, which makes the development of control methods crucial. The use of synthetic insecticides, although effective, causes serious environmental and health problems. As an alternative, plant essential oils, which are...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Unveiling DIR proteins involved in cork formation: insights from transcriptome analysis and cis-element co-occurrenceNARA Subscribed
Cork, extracted sustainably from cork oak ( Quercus suber ), plays a pivotal role in various ecological, social, and economic aspects of Mediterranean regions. Influenced by genetic and environmental factors, the genetic control of cork production remains poorly understood. This study delves into the involvement of dirigent proteins (DIR) in cork lignification and explores potential regulatory mechanisms underlying the distinc...
DiverReef : A global database of the behavior of recreational divers and their interactions with reefs over 20 yearsNARA Subscribed
Recreational diving is an important activity in reef environments worldwide, providing income and employment for coastal communities and connecting visiting divers to these ecosystems promoting conservation and stewardship. However, if poorly managed, diving has the potential to cause detrimental effects on benthic communities via mechanical damage caused by physical contact of divers with the reef, often in the form of uninte...
