Cryptobenthic reef fishes may not be safe from invasive lionfish ( Pterois spp. Oken, 1817)NARA Subscribed
Lionfish ( Pterois spp.) are hypothesized to negatively influence cryptobenthic reef fish assemblages through predation. We evaluated these potential effects on Caribbean reefs in Costa Rica and tropical reefs in Brazil. Brazil provided a reference condition for cryptobenthic assemblages prior to lionfish invasion, while the Costa Rica sites enabled comparisons between reefs inside marine protected areas (MPAs), where lionfish...
Genetic evaluation of growth and reproductive traits in Nelore cattle under humid tropical conditionsNARA Subscribed
Assessing the genetic variability of economically important traits is key to guiding selection strategies, and monitoring its changes over time provides critical support for decision-making. The study aimed to estimate genetic parameters and evaluate genetic and phenotypic trends for growth and reproductive traits in Nelore cattle raised under humid tropical conditions. Growth traits included weaning weight ( n = 1266), yearli...
Intercomparison of a Regional Climate Model Ensemble for Selected European CatchmentsNARA Subscribed
Understanding regional hydroclimatic variability and its drivers is essential to anticipate the impacts of climate change on water resources and sustainability. Yet, considerable uncertainty remains in the simulation of the coupled land–atmosphere water and energy cycles, largely due to structural model limitations, simplified process representations, and insufficient spatial resolution. Within the framework of the Collaborati...
Brazil as a Global Leader in Soybean Production: Historical Trends, Current Status, and Future PerspectivesNARA Subscribed
Soybean ( Glycine max L.) is the most widely cultivated oilseed globally due to its nutritional value, versatility, and economic importance. It accounts for nearly 25% of global vegetable oil production and is a key component in animal feed, making it strategic for food and energy security. Brazil has emerged as the world leader in production and exports, contributing ~40% of the 2024/25 harvest with approximately 171.5 millio...
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...
Blackberry, an Attractive Deep Purple Potato Variety with Resistance to Common Scab and Extreme Resistance to Potato Virus YNARA Subscribed
Blackberry is a tablestock variety with uniquely deep purple skin and flesh. The tubers have an attractive, uniform, round shape with common scab resistance and low incidence of internal defects. It also carries the Rysto marker for extreme resistance to potato virus Y. When baked or microwaved, the tuber flesh is a brilliant deep purple with an enjoyable mild taste. It was selected in 2011 from a cross between two breeding li...
Animal morphometrics are essential for understanding a species’ life history and its ecological interactions with the environment. This study investigates the maturity status and body condition of humpback whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) across understudied areas of the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS or drones) were used to collect photogrammetry data from humpback whales in Ireland, Norway, and Ca...
