La información sobre los distintos componentes de la dieta de aves resulta relevante para entender las variaciones poblacionales y la subsistencia de comunidades ante la modificación del paisaje. Sin embargo, a la fech...

Background and Objectives: Proper feeding practices of children less than 2 years of age is important because it is the most critical period of life for optimal growth and development. This study aims to use the newly ...

The Miridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) are one of the most species rich families of insects, with about 11 100 described species. Mirinae is the largest subfamily and its endemism becomes evident at the tribal level and be...

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...

Family farming systems are widespread in tropical cocoa production, supporting rural livelihoods while providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage and soil protection. However, farm structure and crop diversity a...

The present study aimed to document the composition, richness, diversity as well as horizontal and vertical distribution of epiphytic Bromeliaceae in a fragment of submontane seasonal semideciduous forest in Minas Gerais...

Insect monitoring is a key component of sustainable and productive crop management. Among the various methods used to observe insect communities, pitfall trapping, visual searching, and sweep-net sampling of vegetation a...

Documentation of avian diversity is an effective method to monitor the quality of a habitat, along with long-term effects of habitat fragmentation, developmental activities, and urbanization. In the current investigation...

A remnant population ofAnadenanthera colubrinavar.cebilin Northern Argentina showed a mixed mating system, high genetic diversity, and moderate spatial genetic structure, which was stronger in saplings than in adults. De...

Anthropogenic climate change is one of the main threats to global biodiversity, with amphibians being among the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. In this context, the IUCN currently lists 69 species of Neotropical glass...

Antimicrobial resistance threatens millions of lives annually, yet its acceleration by non-antibiotic pollutants remains poorly understood. Artificial sweeteners, now ubiquitous in soils and waters, are known individuall...

ABSTRACT We sought to evaluate the floristic and structural variations between three areas with distinct backgrounds in the Sooretama Biological Reserve, remnantd of Lowland Atlantic Forest in Brazil. For vegetation samp...

Sistemas em aléias podem consistir numa solução para o uso da terra em regiões do Trópico Úmido. A relação dessa forma de manejo com a dinâmica dos fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMA) ainda é pouco compreen...

The Mangalarga Marchador (MM) horse breed has expressive importance in the Brazilian economy. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate diversity in the MM breed. A database with a total of 3,193 genotyped horses wa...

An emerging body of evidence has highlighted the complex interplay among obesity, insulin resistance, and the gut microbiota. This observational study aimed to evaluate differences in intestinal microbiome profiles betwe...

IntroductionParkinson’s disease (PD) is frequently accompanied by insomnia, and emerging evidence suggests the gut microbiome may play a role. This study investigates gut microbiome differences associated with insomnia...

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...

Este estudio analiza la composición, riqueza, diversidad y estructura de la familia Pieridae en la cuenca del río Coello, cordillera Central de los Andes, departamento de Tolima (Colombia). Se establecieron 11 estacion...

ABSTRACT Pollen and seed dispersal patterns greatly influence the spatial distribution of plant genetic diversity. Microsatellite-based parentage analysis provides accurate estimates of contemporary gene dispersal. Altho...

IntroductionThe African sugarcane stalk borer (Eldana saccharina) is a major insect pest of sugarcane in Sub-Saharan Africa. Because its larvae reside inside sugarcane stalks, conventional measures are less effective. Po...

ANALISAMOS a pós-graduação brasileira no que diz respeito à sua diversidade institucional e a sua qualidade. Esta diversidade cresceu nas últimas décadas. O Brasil tinha, em 2003, um total de 45 instituições de p...

Livestock ranching is one of the main productive activities in arid regions of the world. Grazing produces changes in animal as well as plant communities (e.g. richness, abundance and species dominance relationships). An...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of agricultural intensification on soil microbial diversity, chemical and physical parameters, and the decrease of the incidence of sudden death syndrome (Fusarium c...

Marine communities are changing at an accelerated rate because of anthropogenic stressors such as global warming and overfishing. Community compositional change over time (temporal β diversity) is mainly driven by the r...
