Phthalate acid esters (PAEs) are widely used plastic additives that have become ubiquitous contaminants in marine environments. Filter-feeding baleen whales may be exposed to these pollutants through water, prey or ingested plastic debris. While macroplastics have been reported in the gut of a southern right whale (SRW, Eubalaena australis ), exposure to PAEs has not been assessed. Here, we quantified three lipophilic PAEs, di...
The integration of photovoltaic systems with rainwater harvesting offers a promising solution for enhancing water and energy management in arid and semiarid agricultural regions."This study presents an agrivoltaic system where photovoltaic panels function both as energy source and as surfaces for runoff collection, directing rainwater into a storage reservoir for irrigation. A detailed analysis was conducted to evaluate differ...
Introduction Owing to controversy information surrounds effect of glucocorticoids on the evolution of COVID-19, we evaluate the effects of outpatient glucocorticoid use on the severity and progression of COVID-19 and risk of infection and analyse the effect of window of exposure and dose. Methods We conducted a population-based case − control study, involving 4 substudies: (i) Hospitalisation; (ii) Mortality, using subjects ho...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS : a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South AmericaNARA Subscribed
Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we a...
Simulating rewetting events in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: A global analysis of leached nutrients and organic matterNARA Subscribed
Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the extent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by periods of flow cessation, during which channel substrates accumulate and undergo physico‐chemical changes (preconditioning), and periods of flow resumption, when these substrates are rewetted and release pulse...
Since its foundation, 100 years ago, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) has been observing and measuring the ocean characteristics. Here is a summary of the initiatives of the IEO in the field of the operational oceanography. Some systems like the tide gauges network has been working for more than 70 years. The standard sections began at different moments depending on the local projects, and nowadays there are more th...
