Abstract Objective Streptococcus shenyangsis is a recently reported member of the genus Streptococcus, rarely detected in the human oral cavity and for which genomic information remains limited. To broaden our understand...

In poorly known groups for which data are insufficient to develop biologically plausible model-based approaches to phylogeographical analyses, a ‘first hypotheses’ protocol is suggested as offering the best way to ge...

Em uma revisão recente sobre o conceito de bem-estar em peixes, defendo que a preocupação sobre o bem-estar desses animais é definitivamente uma questão genuína, sendo nosso desafio a busca de métodos válidos par...

This study employs a comprehensive review of 45 studies to assess the economic value of ecosystem services from different forest types across India. To estimate timeframes, the values of ecosystem services reported in th...

Abstract Given increasing migration and cultural diversification in urban contexts, understanding how people with different cultural backgrounds use and perceive urban green areas is relevant for inclusive planning. This...

This study explores the potential of cultural tourism as a strategic driver for sustainable urban development in Hail City, Saudi Arabia, emphasizing its alignment with the objectives of Saudi Vision (2030). Situated at ...

Volcanic eruptions are large-scale natural disturbances, which can negatively affect insect fauna and the ecological interactions in which they are involved. The 2011 eruption of the volcanic complex Puyehue Cordón-Caul...

Natural hybridization commonly produces individuals with intermediate morphological and genetic characteristics, but their response to environmental stress is still uncertain, with some studies showing that transgressive...

In a recent study we found that crania from South Amerindian populations on each side of the Andes differ significantly in terms of craniofacial shape. Western populations formed one morphological group, distributed cont...

ABSTRACT Background: Climate change and widespread environmental degradation have increased the risk of natural hazards in recent decades. Hydrological, meteorological, and climatological disasters have become more frequ...

ABSTRACT This research aims to present here the first record of Stylogyne A. DC. for Ceará State, Brazil. Stylogyne warmingii Mez., a species formerly known only to the Brazilian southeast, was collected in Atlantic For...

Abstract In Brazil, species of the genus Ramphocelus with the presence of various endoparasites have already been reported. Coccidia have been the parasites most frequently found. All species of this genus have similar h...

Oceans have often been treated as peripheral to learning and heritage, framed as unstable spaces separating land-based cultures and institutions. Recent work in island studies and the blue humanities has challenged this ...

The anisakid species Contracaecum pelagicum Johnston and Mawson, 1942, is reported for first time at 2 different sites on the Argentine coast (Península Valdés, 42°04'S, 63°38'W and Mar del Plata, 38°05'S, 57°38'W)...

Hemozoin (Hz) is a crystalline by-product, which is produced when the Plasmodium species destroy haemoglobin, and it is commonly recognised that it leads to how our bodies respond to malaria. Although we understand prett...

Human activities significantly alter natural habitats, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation, especially in regions like the Gran Chaco. Despite the expansion of protected areas, Argentina faces challenges in conserv...

Studies assessing marine physical stock accounts compliant with the globally adopted System of Environmental-Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounting are limited. These studies typically focus on ecosystems easy to map...

Sloths and ground sloths (Xenarthra: Tardigrada) are among the most conspicuous mammals in the Cenozoic faunas of South America. During the late Pleistocene and the early Holocene, all the megafaunal xenarthrans became e...

Abstract Architecture today faces urgent demands for sustainable transformation in the context of climate change and ecological crisis. A central challenge lies not only in improving material performance or reducing emis...

Abstract Haemosporidians belonging to the subgenus Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) and the genus Leucocytozoon rely on dipteran vectors for transmission, with biting midges (Culicoides spp.) and black flies (Simuliidae),...

Surface water bodies receive a basin's wide diversity of pollutants, especially when there are mixed land uses. Among the many environmental tools to assess a body water quality, most studies use only a few. In addition ...

ABSTRACT Sea turtles are endangered animals that present cosmopolitan distribution. Anthropic actions have been considered important causes for the reduction of sea turtle population, but natural aspects such as parasiti...

Xenarthrans -anteaters, sloths, and armadillos- have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragm...
