Virome of neotropical Sabethes mosquitoes reveals two novel viruses in the Spiciviridae familyNARA Subscribed
The family Spiciviridae , belonging to the order Ghabrivirales , is currently composed of only one officially recognized genus, Spicivirus . However, metagenomic studies have revealed an increasing diversity of related viruses, suggesting that the current classification may underestimate their evolutionary complexity. In this context, the aim of the present study was to detect and characterize new viruses related to the Spiciv...
Silica nanoparticles alter cadmium partitioning and physiological responses within the substrate–plant system of soybeanNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic and bioaccumulative element introduced into agricultural systems through phosphate fertilizers, anthropogenic inputs, and accidental contamination, thereby endangering crop productivity and food safety. Its high mobility in soil also raises concerns regarding environmental dispersal and ecological exposure. Silica nanoparticles (SiO₂ NPs) have been proposed as mitigators of metal-ind...
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...
A dataset of plant communities invaded by Acacia sp. pl. and Robinia pseudoacacia in ItalyNARA Subscribed
The full extent of the ecological threat posed by non-native invasive leguminous N-fixing trees to Italian ecosystems has not been thoroughly documented at the national level. This study, conducted by the Working Group on Alien Species of the Italian Botanical Society, aims to develop a comprehensive dataset that provides information on invaded and non-invaded areas, supporting multi-scale ecological analyses on the impact of...
Lewy body disease (LBD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are the most common causes of cognitive decline and dementia and are associated with characteristic alterations in resting-state electroencephalographic (rsEEG) activity. This multicenter exploratory study investigated periodic and aperiodic rsEEG features in patients with cognitive decline due to Lewy body disease (LBCD) and Alzheimer’s disease (ADCD), compared with cogniti...
Monitoring Essential Ocean, Climate, and Biodiversity Variables (EOVs, ECVs and EBVs) collected through the marine Research Infrastructures (RIs) is critical for assessing environmental status, improving scientific knowledge and defining environmental policies. This study evaluates the capacity of the Italian marine monitoring system, including facilities such as fixed stations, buoys, autonomous platforms, and mobile systems...
