We document the first records of reef fishes typically associated with mesophotic environments on shallow ( Rhomboplites aurorubens and the pygmy angelfish Centropyge aurantonotus , usually restricted to deeper (>40 m) shelf habitats along the Brazilian coast, were recorded inside Baía de Todos os Santos (BTS). Integrating long‐term ecological and oceanographic monitoring, fisheries information and underwater visual records, w...
Development of citrinin-loaded liposomes and in vitro toxicogenetic evaluation on breast cellsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to synthesize a liposomal nanoformulation containing citrinin (LP-CIT) to improve its availability and to evaluate its toxicogenomic profile, focusing on cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and non-tumorigenic mammary epithelial (MCF-10A) cell lines. The formulation was characterized by macroscopic appearance, pH, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, encapsulatio...
Multiform glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor, associated with high heterogeneity, treatment resistance, and poor survival. Temozolomide (TMZ), although the main chemotherapeutic agent used, shows limited efficacy due to low solubility, chemical instability, and acquired resistance. In this context, nanostructured systems can enhance their antitumor efficacy. This study aimed to develop and characteri...
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...
The introduction of nonnative octocorals (Octocorallia) is becoming increasingly more common around the world. In Brazil alone, we know of nine nonnative or cryptogenic species of octocorals representing eight different families. The nephtheid Chromonephthea braziliensis (a pseudoindigenous species) was probably first introduced in Brazil in 1994 and has since appeared in three distinct regions on the northeast and southwest c...
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...
