IntroductionMaternal nutrition influences human milk (HM) composition, particularly its fatty acid (FA) profile. However, evidence from Middle Eastern populations, including Saudi Arabia, remains limited. This study aime...

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...

O entendimento das mudanças em paisagens amazônicas depende de documentação das alterações na cobertura da terra. Este artigo parte de resultados do Experimento de Larga Escala de Biosfera-Atmosfera na Amazônia (L...

Abstract Salient sounds in the environment automatically capture our attention, causing a shift of focus away from ongoing goal-directed tasks. Studies of cognitive flexibility can employ such paradigms to examine how th...

The coevolution of the human diet and gut microbiome has played a pivotal role in shaping metabolic, immune, and epigenetic functions across human history. Dietary transitions from high-fiber ancestral patterns to modern...

The pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria is linked to the variant surface antigen PfEMP1, which mediates tethering of infected erythrocytes to the host endothelium and is encoded by approximately 60 var genes pe...

Abstract Although birds are protected on the Agronomic Institute at Belém, and within a forest reserve at Manaus, there is some human destruction of easily located nests in open areas. Both adults and young of a few spe...

Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a safe and cost-effective strategy for preventing cervical cancer, yet uptake remains low worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Numerous i...

Emissions of human-use antibiotics in China pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and accelerate the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Existing assessments lack the facility-level resolution required for effe...

Stable oxygen isotopes (d18O) from human bone apatite from central western Argentina (30º–37ºS latitude) were analysed to understand changes in human residential mobility during the Late Holocene. This region contain...

Abstract Neural populations that are able to extract quantitative information from multiple sensory domains are essential for the survival of numerous species. How quantity is encoded across different senses is far from ...
