Optimizing maize–Brachiaria intercropping requires effective weed management with selective maize herbicides. This study evaluated the spray performance and efficacy of atrazine + nicosulfuron for weed management in maize–Brachiaria intercropping, focusing on how droplet classes and spray volumes affect maize growth and yield. The deposition experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design with six re...
L -asparaginase is an amidohydrolase enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of L-asparagine into L-aspartic acid and ammonia. This enzyme has significant biotechnological applications, functioning as an antineoplastic agent in the pharmaceutical industry and as a tool for reducing acrylamide formation in the food industry. This study aimed to identify a filamentous fungus strain capable of synthesizing a new L -asparaginase and...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
This interdisciplinary work demonstrates the viability of coupling ocean models with in situ robotic sampling in a dynamic coastal region as a means to increase model skill and prediction. Model-driven exploration closes the sample-assimilate-predict-direct loop within a virtuous cycle to refine prediction for a range of applications in a region characterized by harsh conditions, high variability, and diverse physical forcing...
The invasive brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae (Ochrophyta) has undergone a rapid expansion in the Strait of Gibraltar sinceits introduction in 2015, significantly altering coastal habitats. This study focused on analyzing the composition and structure of epifaunal bryozoan assemblages associated with R. okamurae populations on infralittoral rocky bottoms in the Strait of Gibraltar and adjacent areas (southern Spain). Seven sam...
Understanding variation in home range size (HR) provides important insights into the underlying ecological processes driving space use. However, it remains unclear whether the interspecific allometric scaling of mammals' HR can also be consistently observed within species and for both sexes. To address this knowledge gap, we GPS‐tracked 349 resident individuals across Brazil, encompassing 18 mammal species. We estimated indivi...
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...
