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 ...

The transformation of the Pancasila Student Profile is a key effort in shaping the character and national identity of students in Indonesia. This study explores integrating religious dimensions into school culture to str...

A pictorial field guide to the 30 species of sandfly most commonly encountered in Pará State is presented, based on the easily recognised external characters of the length of the 5th palpal segment, thoracic infuscation...

This paper highlights the importance of islands for proposing and testing hypotheses in stream ecology, and therefore, advocates for implementing reference studies in Gorgona Island (Colombian Pacific). It firstly summar...

Abstract Background Accurate age determination is crucial for interpreting the behavior and ecology of raccoon dogs; however, age estimation is often overlooked due to the absence of practical, non-invasive methods or cr...

Climate conditions have a strong influence on the distribution of many natural communities; thus, the influence of global climate change may alter ecosystems. High-altitude wetlands in the Central Andes of Argentina (CAA...

O monitoramento endócrino pela mensuração de metabólitos urinários e fecais de hormônios esteróides tem se mostrado uma alternativa viável na investigação da fisiologia reprodutiva e do estresse em uma grande v...

Airborne LiDAR enables direct measurement of canopy height and three-dimensional forest structure, but many LiDAR-based studies remain difficult to reproduce due to ad hoc processing decisions and limited pipeline transp...

The increasing urgency of environmental sustainability has prompted extensive research into leveraging IS to address ecological challenges. A total of 4087 Scopus-indexed publications (2002–2023) were retrieved for bib...

Abstract The Leschenault’s rousette (Rousettus leschenaultii) represents a medium-sized bat of the genus Rousettus that feeds on fruits or flowers, mainly distributed in Southeast Asia. Here, we generated a chromosome-...

Abstract This comprehensive review examines the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) in the leather industry, emphasizing its pivotal role in advancing circular economy integration. Through literature analysis and ...

Abstract The genus Amblyomma has the largest number of tick species in the Neotropical region. Amblyomma ovale displays high ecological plasticity and can be found in different habitats and a variety of vertebrate hosts....

Abstract Microplastic pollution in freshwater is a global concern, yet field monitoring often lacks standardization, hindering data comparability and analysis. This systematic review bridges the gap between lab findings ...

Climate change and expanding international trade are accelerating biological invasions, intensifying the need to explore the mechanisms underlying the incorporation of invasive species into native food webs. Importantly,...

The relevance of the research is explained by the contradiction between the availability of forest resources, the demand for timber materials, and the low economic efficiency of their use, conservation, and reproduction....

Gastropoda, with approximately 80,000 living species, is the largest class of Mollusca. Among gastropods, apple snails (family Ampullariidae) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems and...

Este trabalho descreve a composição florística na área do reservatório da futura Hidrelétrica de Cachoeira Porteira - PA (localizada na margem esquerda do rio Trombetas), e a caracterização da vegetação. São a...

Abstract Primary temperate forests serve as a natural framework for studying linkages between vegetation, soil properties and microbial communities under minimal human disturbance. Here, we characterize how soil bacteria...

Abstract Multiple drivers of global change are causing rapid biodiversity loss worldwide. However, predicting species’ trajectories remains challenging due to the dynamic and state-dependent nature of ecological respon...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cervical cancer can be prevented by early detection through regular screening. The American Cancer Society advocates the initiation of cervical cancer screening from 25 years of age. Few stud...

IntroductionThe health of grassland ecosystems is of great significance for regional ecological security. The alpine grassland is fragile and sensitive to climate change and human activities, but studies on the assessmen...

The WHO estimates that by 2050, 70% of the global population will reside in urban areas—centers of opportunity but also major health risks. Urbanization contributes to the rise of non-communicable chronic diseases, lin...
