Decoupling bioaccumulation and trophic transfer: nanoatrazine accumulates in microalgae but shows limited transfer to zooplanktonNARA Subscribed
Nanoformulations of pesticides have been proposed as a strategy to improve agricultural efficiency while potentially reducing environmental contamination. However, little is known about the bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of nanopesticides in aquatic food webs. In this study, the bioaccumulation of poly(ε-caprolactone)-encapsulated nanoatrazine (nATZ-PCL) was evaluated in the microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata , as well a...
Promoter Engineering of the Surfactin Operon Enhances Surfactin Production in the Environmental Strain Bacillus subtilis RI4914NARA Subscribed
This study aimed to enhance surfactin production in Bacillus subtilis by replacing the native promoter of the surfactin synthase operon (P srfA ) with the strong IPTG-inducible promoter Pgrac to address challenges in large-scale biosurfactant production. The engineered strain was developed through homologous recombination, creating an integration cassette fused via overlap extension PCR and transformed into B. subtilis RI4914....
Oncogenetics training in Brazilian medical genetics residency programs: current landscape and challengesNARA Subscribed
Oncogenetics focuses on identifying and managing hereditary cancer predisposition, enabling risk-reducing interventions and targeted therapies. This descriptive study evaluated the landscape of oncogenetics training within Medical Genetics Residency Programs in Brazil. Data were collected through online questionnaires and interviews with program supervisors. We assessed rotation availability, timing and duration, clinical and...
Image-based phenotyping of castor bean seeds for morphological traits, seed weight prediction, and assessment of genetic diversityNARA Subscribed
Digital seed phenotyping offers an efficient and objective alternative to conventional, labor-intensive methods for morphological characterization in plant breeding programs. In castor bean, rapid and reliable tools are essential to support genetic improvement. This study evaluated the potential of digital phenotyping for seed characterization and its application in breeding. Seeds from 65 accessions (2023) and 51 accessions (...
Coefficients in Taylor's law increase with the time scale of water clarity measurements in a global suite of lakesNARA Subscribed
Identifying the scaling rules describing ecological patterns across time and space is a central challenge in ecology. Taylor's law of fluctuation scaling, which states that the variance of a population's size or density is proportional to a positive power of the mean size or density, has been widely observed in population dynamics and characterizes variability in multiple scientific domains. However, it is unclear if this phen...
Camera trap surveys of A tlantic F orest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004–2020)NARA Subscribed
Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land‐cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity...
