Planktonic ciliates in Neotropical streams: taxonomic and numerical sufficiency and implications for environmental impact assessmentNARA Subscribed
Bioindicators are widely used to describe environmental impacts through rapid and cost-effective assessments. However, identifying them at the species level with detailed quantitative sampling is time-consuming, expensive, and requires specialized knowledge. This study evaluated, using planktonic ciliates, taxonomic and numerical sufficiency approaches to test whether higher taxonomic levels and different numerical resolutions...
Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCL) is the most prevalent form of leishmaniasis, with infection control primarily dependent on cell-mediated immunity. Lesion healing results from a complex interplay among immune cells and soluble mediators. Using Luminex technology, we evaluated circulating and lesion microenvironment immune mediators, including chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors, in patients with LCL and nonspecifi...
Characterisation of the Exceptional Heatwave Conditions Observed in Brazil During the Record‐Hot Years of 2024 and 2025NARA Subscribed
The intense heatwaves of 2024 and the summer of 2025 underscored Brazil's vulnerability to climate change and extreme weather events. Our results show that 2024 recorded a higher number of hot spells, particularly in subtropical Brazil, while in 2023 the intensity of heatwaves was greater. During the summer of 2025, air temperatures in large parts of southern Brazil exceeded 40°C, reflecting the extreme heatwave conditions in...

Water restriction alters seed bank traits and ecology in Atlantic Forest seasonal forests under climate changeNARA Subscribed
The soil seed bank (SSB) is one of the key mechanisms that ensure the perpetuity of forests, but how will it behave in the scenarios projected for the future climate? Faced with this main question, still little explored in seasonal tropical forests, this study evaluated the germination, ecological attributes, and functional traits of the SSB in a seasonal forest in the Atlantic Forest. Forty‐eight composite samples of the SSB...
