Hydraulic implications occur when rainfall and overland flow move across the vegetative structure of the Caatinga, the shrubland native to Brazil’s semi-arid region, which is a climate change hotspot. Can the Caatinga structure’s effects on rain interception, along with water retention caused by hydraulic resistance, significantly increase water infiltration? How can overland flow at low Reynolds numbers be affected? Twelve si...

Voluntary conservation programs are increasingly used to align rural development with ecosystem protection within working landscapes, yet their effectiveness depends on the willingness and capacity of landowners to participate. To explore factors that influence participation, we investigated socioenvironmental characteristics of rural properties in a conservation program in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Using Bayesian modelin...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and receptor activity modifier protein 1 (RAMP1) form a critical neuroimmunoendocrine axis in the modulation of neuroinflammation, pain, and tumor progression. CGRP, released by sensory and sympathetic fibers, is a potent vasodilator and nociceptive modulator; its action depends on the receptor composed of CALCRL and RAMP1. In the central nervous system, the activation of microglia and as...
