Evaluating the phytotoxicity of sodium diclofenac treated with heterogeneous photocatalysisNARA Subscribed
Pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in surface water, and even at trace concentrations, they may pose ecological and health risks. In this study, heterogeneous photocatalysis using titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) was applied under simulated solar irradiation to degrade sodium diclofenac. Irradiation times of 60, 120, and 180 min were used with a TiO 2 loading of 0.6 g L −1 . Under these conditions, only ~ 20% diclofenac degrad...
Castration is common in beef cattle for reproductive and management purposes, but it causes pain and stress, raising welfare concerns. The adoption of perioperative anesthesia and analgesia remains uneven in tropical low- and middle-income settings, where infrastructure, costs, and weak enforcement limit its application. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different analgesic protocols on physiological stress markers a...
Mussels enhance digestive enzyme activity in preparation for stressful fluctuating environmentsNARA Subscribed
Elevated heat and low phytoplankton abundance are physiologically and ecologically challenging marine organisms of the northeast Pacific, including the mussel Mytilus californianus . During low tide, mussels are exposed to warm air and undergo anaerobic metabolism. Tidal variation coincides with daily fluctuations in food availability requiring flexible response systems (e.g., changes in digestive enzyme activity) to maintain...
Phylogenetic and Functional Biogeographic Approach for Rodent Conservation Across an Environmental Gradient in ChileNARA Subscribed
Aim Understanding how abiotic factors influence species diversity, evolution and functional patterns of species is crucial for biodiversity conservation and for the management of terrestrial protected areas. We evaluate biogeographic and phylogenetic metrics in rodents to understand biodiversity patterns and improve wildlife conservation strategies. Location Chile, South America. Taxon Rodents (Mammalia, Rodentia). Methods We...
Our primary objective was to compile a comprehensive dataset on bird–window collisions throughout the Neotropical region, including both published and unpublished sources. On May 12, 2020, we extensively disseminated invitations to provide data via email and social media platforms. By providing a template worksheet, we required standardized information from collaborators to complete and register their data. To better understan...
Advances in Reproduction, Nutrition and Disease Research in the Yellowtail Kingfish ( Seriola lalandi ) AquacultureNARA Subscribed
Yellowtail kingfish ( Seriola lalandi ) is a species of significant value in aquaculture, with a broad distribution across subtropical and temperate seas. Although global production has doubled in 7 years, reaching approximately 9000 tons per year in 2021, its cultivation remains limited compared to other mainstream species. The commercial aquaculture of this species faces several key challenges in achieving improved productio...
Beach Wrack on Baltic and Mediterranean Sea Beaches: Litter Pollution and Management PerspectivesNARA Subscribed
Beach wrack can accumulate in large quantities on beaches and is often regarded as a nuisance by beach managers, which is removed for the sake of tourists. The litter entangled in beach wrack can prevent further use of this natural resource. However, not much is known about the litter quantities in beach wrack nor their input paths. We applied an easy-to-use method for beach wrack monitoring in two case studies, in the souther...
