Ontogenetic Development of Hyperostosis in the Crevalle Jack Caranx hippos (Linnaeus, 1766) and New Records of Affected Bone RegionsNARA Subscribed
Hyperostosis is a non‐pathological condition widely reported in marine teleosts, yet its developmental dynamics and underlying drivers remain poorly understood. This study investigates the ontogenetic progression and anatomical distribution of hyperostosis in Caranx hippos based on a growth series of 39 specimens collected along the Brazilian coast. Individuals were categorised into two size classes (class 1 C. hippos , with m...
Altered hippocampal lipid profile underlies anxiety-like behavior secondary to mild traumatic brain injuryNARA Subscribed
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major cause of neurological morbidity worldwide, and mild TBI (mTBI) is frequently associated with emotional disturbances, including anxiety-like behavior. Although classical mechanisms of secondary injury have been extensively characterized, metabolic alterations, particularly those involving cerebral lipid homeostasis, remain incompletely defined. Given the structural and regulatory rol...
Hyperostosis is a natural phenomenon characterised by bone thickening and remodelling that occurs more frequently in wild marine teleosts than in captive populations. Within the family Carangidae, species of the genus Trachinotus are among the most frequently affected, although expression patterns vary widely among taxa. This study provides a comparative assessment of hyperostosis across four Trachinotus species from the south...
Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Inoculation with Bacillus subtilis and Paenibacillus sp. shapes the rhizosphere bacteriome of prickly pear cactus under water deficitNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Prickly pear cactus ( Nopalea cochenillifera L.) plays a central role in sustaining forage production in semiarid environments, yet prolonged drought associated with climate change increasingly constrains its performance. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), including Bacillus subtilis and Paenibacillus spp., are recognized for enhancing plant tolerance to water limitation, but their influence on the rhi...
Description and Patterns of Hyperostosis in Plata Pompano, Trachinotus marginatus Cuvier, 1832NARA Subscribed
This study describes the occurrence of hyperostosis, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time in Trachinotus marginatus Cuvier 1832 and examines its patterns in 21 specimens from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Radiographic images revealed the presence of the condition in 76.2% of the individuals, affecting five distinct bone regions: supraoccipital (76.2%), dorsal‐fin pterygiophore (52.3%), anal‐fin pterygiophore (9.5%), rib...
Cortical volumetry and longitudinal cognitive changes in Parkinson’s disease: insights from the COPPADIS cohortNARA Subscribed
Cognitive decline is a major non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), often linked to brain atrophy. This study examines the relationship between cortical atrophy and age groups in predicting cognitive decline in PD over five years. 188 PD patients from the COPPADIS cohort were stratified by age: young (30–55 years, N = 47), middle-aged (56–65 years, N = 59), and older adults (66–75 years, N = 82). Baseline cortical volu...
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...
