Demystifying the Romanticized Narratives About Carbon Credits From Voluntary Forest ConservationNARA Subscribed
Carbon offset projects aimed at avoiding deforestation and forest degradation, generally labeled “REDD+,” are frequently promoted as a pivotal tool to mitigate climate change, promising to offer additional co‐benefits for biodiversity and local communities. Despite this optimism, most positive impacts claimed by these initiatives in the voluntary carbon market (VCM) lack empirical support and are instead based on the hopeful n...
uBin: A manual refining tool for genomes from metagenomesNARA Subscribed
Resolving bacterial and archaeal genomes from metagenomes has revolutionized our understanding of Earth's biomes yet producing high‐quality genomes from assembled fragments has been an ever‐standing problem. While automated binning software and their combination produce prokaryotic bins in high throughput, their manual refinement has been slow, sometimes difficult or missing entirely facilitating error propagation in public da...
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, and regulators of plant growth and reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used as bioindicators of the ecological impact of land use. We gathered information of ant species in the Atlantic Forest of South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which...
The liver hormone hepcidin regulates systemic iron homeostasis. Hepcidin is also expressed by the kidney, but exclusively in distal nephron segments. Several studies suggest hepcidin protects against kidney damage involving Fe 2+ overload. The nephrotoxic non-essential metal ion Cd 2+ can displace Fe 2+ from cellular biomolecules, causing oxidative stress and cell death. The role of hepcidin in Fe 2+ and Cd 2+ toxicity was ass...
From farmers to livestock keepers: a typology of cattle production systems in south-western Burkina FasoNARA Subscribed
Cattle production is an essential livelihood strategy in south-western Burkina Faso. Although having a distinct cultural role and known to be resistant against African animal trypanosomosis, the Lobi taurine cattle breed is endangered due to its low market value. As the first step in preservation efforts, our study aimed to develop a typology of production systems at the farm level. We used a structured questionnaire and focus...
