Crisis representation within the field of literary studies increasingly recognizes climate change as a defining global emergency, whose pervasive and multidimensional impact profoundly shapes both the material conditions...

Abstract Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a tool facilitating the repeated collection of real-time data in naturalistic settings that can be applied to clinical research. Despite established methodological streng...

Background The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition...

Abstract Objective To investigate changes in maternal mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic according to sociodemographic, regional and obstetric care characteristics in Minas Gerais state, and the correlation of the ...

Abstract Background The prevalence of non-communicable diseases has increased in part due to a shift in food environments with more processed foods and low food skills among adults and children. Developing food literacy ...

A species sensitivity distribution (SSD) is a statistical distribution of the toxicity values of chemicals and is increasingly used in ecological risk assessment (ERA). When an SSD is used with limited toxicity data, add...

La emergencia y la magnitud que los problemas ambientales han ganado en las tres ultimas décadas han posibilitado una gran producción científica acerca del tema de la ecología y el medio ambiente, principalmente en r...

Cystoliths are phytoliths of silica and calcium carbonate and are produced in a few groups of dicotyledonous angiosperms. Anatomical and, more recently, phytolith studies have recorded them in different families. In the ...

Among the South American Arid Diagonal (SAAD), the Argentine Arid Diagonal (AAD) constitutes an area with low precipitations (less than 500 mm) and extends from the north of the country (on the border with Bolivia), to P...

We developed a conceptual framework that describes the key role of ecosystem services in urban ecological infrastructure. From this framework we analyze how research on ecosystem services has been addressed in cities of ...

The critical factor in restoration and conservation of urban streams and their catchments is the human population, however the most of studies of urban ecosystems do not present social descriptors as concrete variables o...

This study presents an integrated geophysical approach for shallow subsurface characterization using seismic refraction and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) at the Florida Atlantic University Boca Preserve. A 240 m transec...

Progress in ecological research is basically driven by the publication of studies in peer reviewed journals. However, competition for space in high-ranking journals is severe, and these journals require an objective way ...

Abstract The ability to assess and utilise the length of the daily light period has been identified as a key component of the physiological ecology regulating metabolism and reproduction across various vertebrate taxa. W...

With c. 24 700 species (10% of all flowering plants), Asteraceae are one of the largest and most phenotypically diverse angiosperm families, with considerable economic and ecological importance. Asteraceae are distribute...

ABSTRACT Astragalus bozakmanii Podlech, an endemic plant species to Turkey, was investigated to provide an understanding the conservation status of this species and to fill the gap in the knowledge of habitat of this spe...

The family Xylariaceae represents a diverse assemblage of ascomycetous fungi, widely recognised for their prolific production of secondary metabolites with potent bioactive properties, including antimicrobial, anticancer...

The strength of species interactions influences strongly the structure and dynamics of ecological systems. Thus, quantifying such strength is crucial to understand how species interactions shape communities and ecosystem...

This paper presents a systematic literature review that synthesizes existing empirical research on consumer behavior toward sustainable and agroecological food products. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the review examin...

This article examines the representation of caste, labour, and marginality in Turning the Pot, Tilling the Land: Dignity of Labour in Our Times and Disaibon Hul: The Call of the Bending Sky through the theoretical lenses...

The article studies the conceptual basis and the general essential characteristics of public environmental requirements and constraints, focusing on the notion of legal environmental constraints as specific sectoral impe...

Latin America exhibits one of the highest rates of biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) loss worldwide along with a remarkable asymmetry in the access to ES benefits (ecosystem services inequality, ESI hereafter). Th...

Bee and non-bee pollinators are vital to global food production, but their populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and reduced plant diversity, threatening crop yields and food security. Sustainable...

Generalist species are the linchpins of networks, as they are important for maintaining network structure and function. Previous studies have shown that interactions between generalists tend to occur consistently across ...
