This study aimed to (i) classify soybean genotypes related to P uptake and utilization efficiencies and responsiveness to P supply; (ii) investigate plant morphological and physiological characteristics related to P efficiencies; and (iii) identify plant traits for selecting P–efficient genotypes. Sixteen soybean genotypes grew under deficient and sufficient P supply (10 and 100 µmol P L − 1 ). Phosphorus absorption kinetic pa...

This study evaluated the effects of replacing sugarcane silage with Tithonia diversifolia silage on physiological responses, body temperature, enteric methane (CH 4 ) production, and selected ruminal microbial populations of lambs raised under tropical conditions. Twenty uncastrated crossbred lambs (½ Santa Inês × ½ Dorper), approximately 120 days old and with an initial body weight of 25.74 ± 2.47 kg, were assigned to two die...

This study presents a theoretical investigation of bidentate chelators for Pb 2 ⁺ removal from aqueous systems using molecular dynamics simulations. Specifically, β-diketone- and dithiooxamide-based ligands, including a nanostructured derivative (LIG2), were evaluated to assess their coordination behavior, stability, and binding affinity toward lead ions. Simulations were conducted for 100 ns to ensure adequate conformational...

Following recent prolonged regional droughts, reliance on groundwater resources in São Paulo State, Brazil, has increased, emphasizing the need for robust evaluations of groundwater availability to support integrated water resources management. For this purpose, dependable methods for estimating groundwater recharge were applied. This paper focuses on one of the region’s most important aquifers, the Bauru Aquifer System (BAS),...

Coral reefs in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) are experiencing continuous degradation, with projections indicating rapid disappearance due to rising sea temperatures. Mozambique has the third-largest coastline in the WIO and extensive reef areas recognized as biodiversity hotspots for tropical corals, yet many taxa remain poorly studied, especially soft corals. To address this gap, 182 colonies were collected from seven reef s...

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...
