Foodborne illnesses, particularly those caused by Salmonella spp., represent a major global health concern, with S. typhimurium being a significant contributor to outbreaks. The persistence of S. typhimurium in food production environments and its resistance to conventional disinfectants highlight the need for alternative antimicrobial solutions. Essential oils (EOs) from Eucalyptus globulus (EGEO) and Cymbopogon flexuosus (CF...

Canine cutaneous mast cell tumor (cMCT) is one of the most common skin neoplasms in dogs, with lymph nodes representing the primary route of metastasis. Accurate sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification is therefore essential for staging and treatment planning. This study evaluated indirect lipiodol lymphography (IL) and intraoperative methylene blue (MB) mapping in 21 dogs, including 26 tumors and 38 excised lymph nodes, to a...

Microplastics are pollutants that cause great concern due to their known effects on biota and growing accumulation in the oceans. Microplastics can act as vectors of copper (Cu) ions, potentially altering their dynamics and bioavailability in the marine environment through adsorption processes, which are influenced by several factors, including pH. Given that ocean acidification is a current process that can be further aggrava...

Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...

The predatory exploitation of the juçara palm ( Euterpe edulis Martius) for the extraction of hearts of palm has caused its inclusion on the list of endangered species, which reduces the seed bank with incalculable ecological losses. This study aimed to analyze genotypes of E. edulis from the Brazilian states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais grown at different altitudes and select the best individuals regarding the physical...

Marsupials are an important but typically neglected group of mammals that have been overlooked in many comparative analyses of vertebrate ecology and life history evolution. In order to address this knowledge bias, we have developed The Marsupial Database. The Marsupial Database contains traits for a phylogenetically diverse set of 414 extant and recently extinct (last 200 years) species from all seven modern marsupial orders...

Aim We aim to investigate the environmental drivers shaping macroecological patterns of phylogenetic structure in plants, using the cactus family (Cactaceae) as a model group. Major Taxa and Location Cactus family (Cactaceae), comprising 1892 species, distributed across the American continent (approximately 42 million km 2 ). Methods We compiled a robust dataset of 435,694 occurrence records and estimated two complementary met...

Over the last decades, climate change biology has become a central field in global science, yet knowledge production and its inclusion in global strategies remain profoundly unequal. Our bibliometric analysis of over 580,000 records shows that ~80% of author affiliations come from Global North institutions, meaning that research agendas, theoretical frameworks, and priorities are still largely shaped outside the regions with t...
