Habitat-associated detection of Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis spp. in Cetaceans from the Brazilian coastNARA Subscribed
Cetaceans are sentinels of marine ecosystem health and are increasingly exposed to protozoal pathogens. This study investigated the occurrence and molecular identity of Sarcocystidae protozoa in 159 stranded cetaceans representing 21 species along the Brazilian coast. Molecular analysis based on PCR amplification and sequencing of the sarcocystid internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region revealed infections in 14 individuals...
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to...
Background and aims Legume residues are important organic inputs, but their effects depend on residue chemistry and application rate. This study examined how pea ( Pisum sativum ) and field bean ( Vicia faba ) residues with contrasting phytochemical compositions influenced soil functioning and subsequent barley growth, assessing how residue quality and dose shape soil responses. Methods A sandy loam soil was amended with resid...
Aim Legumes are vital to agroecosystems and human nutrition, yet climate change is compromising their nutritional value. This study aims to assess how a one-month exposure to elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) impacts biomass yield, mineral profile, gene expression, and the soil microbiome of common bean plants ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Methods Phaseolus vulgaris L. was grown in field conditions under ambient CO 2 (control, aCO 2 , 400 pp...
● This abstract summarizes the results of two expert consultations conducted to gather insights into effective communication and engagement strategies in recreational fisheries. ● Effective science communication fosters knowledge, understanding, and trust in both science and management decisions. ● Public involvement and stakeholder engagement are essential for effective management. ● Simplifying complex research findings and...
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...
One of the enclaves that exhibits the best features to understand the old and most recent geological history of the north-northwest portion of the Iberian Peninsula is the Ballota Beach, located in Asturias, Spain. In the cliff above sea level that borders this beach to the south, a succession of Carboniferous “griotte” limestones crops out, deformed by spectacular ramp and detachment folds, as well as thrusts, backthrusts and...
