Genomic insights from a long-read assembly of a deep-sea Chromohalobacter israelensis strain from Santos Basin pockmarks fieldNARA Subscribed
Continental slopes, particularly the pockmark and salt diapir regions of the Santos Basin, represent extreme environments characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, low temperatures, elevated salinity, and limited organic matter, fostering unique bacterial communities. This study aimed to elucidate the metabolic strategies enabling survival in these conditions by exploring the genome of a Chromohalobacter israelensis strain i...
Water Demand and Dynamics of Irrigation Expansion in the Araguaia River Basin, Brazil (1993–2040)NARA Subscribed
Agricultural irrigation has become one of the main drivers of pressure on water resources in the Araguaia River Basin (ARB) over the past three decades. This basin spans the Cerrado and Amazon biomes and, despite extensive research on land-use change and ecological impacts, it remains notably understudied with respect to how irrigation growth relates to the depletion of water resources. This study analyzes the expansion of irr...
This study aimed to evaluate effects of replacing whole soybean grain with micronized defatted soybean meal (MDSM) in diets of lactating dairy cows on performance, digestion, metabolism, and milk yield and composition. Ten primiparous Jersey cows with an initial body weight (BW) of 410 ± 9 kg and 105 ± 5 days in milk were used. Five replacement levels (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of dietary DM) of whole soybean grain with MDSM wer...
The Iberian killer whale subpopulation was assessed as critically endangered (CR) by the IUCN red list of threatened species based on the available information until 2011 on its low abundance, high newborn mortality, and dependency on the endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna. The present study focuses on updating the subpopulation demographic parameters between 2011 and 2023. Data were based on photo‐identification and stranding r...
A multispecies microcosm to assess the effect of footwear wastes on soil biota: a contribution towards sustainabilityNARA Subscribed
Due to the high quantities of solid waste with high concentrations of chromium that the footwear industry produces and its disposal sites, it is vital to understand whether leather residue itself is harmful to the ecosystem. Thus, a microcosm test with multispecies ( Brassica oleracea and Eisenia fetida ) was carried out using an agricultural soil contaminated with two different leather residues (Wet Blue and Finished Leather)...
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered unparalleled political, economic, and social ramifications, exacerbating global food insecurity (FI). To understand the overall impact of the pandemic and how different socio-economic groups were affected, we assessed prevalence and severity of FI in a sample of 18,997 households across seven countries in South America. We employed the Food Insecurity Experience Scale developed by the FAO. Our r...
