Evaluation of water productivity and irrigation performance in center pivot and rainfed systems using the WaPOR databaseNARA Subscribed
Remote sensing has become a strategic tool for monitoring irrigation systems, especially in regions with a lack of local agroclimatic and field-scale management data. This study evaluated the water productivity and irrigation performance of soybean cultivation in Pratânia, in the midwestern region of São Paulo State, Brazil, comparing a center pivot system (72.77 ha) and three rainfed areas (with an area of 53.74 ha) over thre...
Peptide and osteological evidence for sex bias in megalithic tombs of La Lora region, Northern IberiaNARA Subscribed
Burial patterns of ancient communities based on the analysis of human remains are difficult to define. In this regard, the existence of a sex bias in megalithic tombs of western Europe remains unclear. Sex estimation using standard osteological methodologies based on dimorphic features is a complex task in commingled and fragmentary human skeletal assemblages, as those found in megalithic burials usually are. Fortunately, adva...
Bycatch in the balance: the trawl fisheries impact on South American sea lions in San Matias Gulf, with comments on other speciesNARA Subscribed
Bycatch is recognized as the primary threat to the viability of marine mammal populations. Given that bycatch levels display strong variations in space and time, knowledge of individual fishery‐marine mammal interaction will likely achieve working solutions. Here, we quantify marine mammal bycatch in the trawl fishery of the San Matías Gulf, Argentina, for the first time using data from onboard observers and fishing effort rec...
Virulence genotype and phenotype of two clinical isolates of Arcobacter butzleri obtained from patients with different pathologiesNARA Subscribed
The surge in human arcobacteriosis has increased interest in determining the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of Arcobacter butzleri . Here, genomic analyses and in vitro Caco-2 infection, motility, urease and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) assays were used to characterise the virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants of strains HC-1, isolated from a patient with travellers’ diarrhoea, and HC...
Introduction Observational and modeling studies have examined the interactions between El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the equatorial Atlantic variability as incorporated into the classical charge-recharge oscillator model of ENSO. These studies included the role of the Atlantic in the predictability of ENSO but assumed stationarity in the relationships, i.e., that models’ coefficients do not change over time. A recent...
Benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) are conspicuous components of coral reef communities, where they play key ecological roles as primary producers among others. BCMs often bloom and might outcompete neighboring benthic organisms, including reef-building corals. We investigated the cyanobacterial species composition of three BCMs morphotypes from the marginal reef complex of Abrolhos Bank (Southeastern Brazil). Also, we assesse...
Commerson’s dolphins ( Cephalorhynchus commersonii ) are separated into the subspecies C. c. commersonii , found along southern South America (SA) and the Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas (FI/IM), and C. c. kerguelenensis , restricted to the subantarctic Kerguelen Islands (KI). Following the dispersal model proposed for the genus, the latter is thought to have originated from SA after a long-distance dispersal event. To evaluat...
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...
