Nursery habitat use of juvenile meagre (Argyrosomus regius): findings from acoustic telemetry in the Tagus estuaryNARA Subscribed
We used acoustic telemetry to investigate the nursery habitat use of 33 juvenile meagre Argyrosomus regius (mean size = 581 ± 105.1 mm), recording more than 60,000 detections in the Tagus estuary, located in the North-Eastern Atlantic. All individuals used the nursery area from spring to autumn, and a small number (22.2%) remained in the Tagus estuary during winter. Daily movements averaged 6.2 ± 1.9 km, with maximum daily dis...
A New Challenge to Species Delimitation: Remarkable Genomic and Ecological Diversity in the Butterfly Melitaea diaminaNARA Subscribed
Evolution relentlessly challenges any concept of species, and human efforts to fit a taxonomic hypothesis to patterns in nature often seem unsatisfactory. Genomics show that a solution does not always come with more data: a fine‐scaled view may reveal populations with a more gradual array of differentiation, infer cases of hybrid origin and bring to light the existence of ghost populations. The false heath fritillary, Melitaea...
Comparative proteomic analysis of Trioza erytreae nymphs developed on Citrus ×limon and Citrus ×sinensis host plantsNARA Subscribed
Trioza erytreae is a vector of Huanglongbing (HLB), a highly damaging citrus disease. Lemon plants ( Citrus × limon ) are the preferred host for T. erytreae , although the underlying mechanisms behind this remain to be fully elucidated. A comparative proteomic analysis of T. erytreae nymphs in their fourth and fifth instars that were fed either lemon or sweet orange (SwO) was carried out to investigate the interaction with its...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ecophysiological and agronomic characteristics and the root morphology of maize inoculated or co-inoculated with rhizobacteria at various irrigation depths (line-source) in the field. The depths were imposed from stage V5 and continuously until the end of the cycle. The experiment was carried out in the field with seven inoculant treatments: control (no inoculation), Azospirillum...
Exploring the diversity and distribution of Mozambique’s soft corals (Octocorallia) through an integrative approachNARA Subscribed
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...
Purpose The management of biogenic residues in a way that extends the lifetime of carbon within the systems is a focus of the present work. Different waste management systems are assessed in terms of GHG emissions and removals, aiming to identify that with the lowest impact on climate change. Methods A life cycle comparative analysis is performed, assessing the mitigation of the impact on climate change of the current waste ma...
Functional diversity of Brazilian bees: revealing the unique patterns of the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Bees are essential for ecosystem functioning, pollinating many wild and crop plant species. Predicting which species are most vulnerable to global changes, and how their loss may impact ecosystems and human well-being, is critical. Comprehensive information on bee response and effect traits is fundamental to these assessments. However, the Raunkiærian shortfall—insufficient trait data—remains significant for bees, particularly...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
