Farmland abandonment and season drive scavenging dynamics in livestock-rewilded landscapes. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Farmland abandonment occurs commonly across European mountain regions, which causes triggering of habitat encroachment through shrub regeneration and natural afforestation. However, its impact on vertebrate scavenger communities and ecological processes, such as the removal of small carcasses remains poorly understood.

Metabolomic Analysis of Phytophthora parasitica Growth in the Presence of β‐sitosterol Indicates Adaptive Mechanisms Modulated by Sterols [PDF]
J Basic MicrobiolABSTRACT Phytophthora parasitica is a generalist phytopathogenic oomycete that infects a series of crops with great economic interest, including tomato, tobacco, and citrus species. Sterols are essential lipids in eukaryotic organisms, playing a fundamental role in the structure and function of the cell membrane.

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 862-869, July 2023., 2023 Abstract The Brazilian Environmental Authority (IBAMA) has recently identified soil organisms as a priority area for risk assessment development for plant protection products. This includes consideration of which species in soil fauna are important to be tested for risk assessment purposes, which ecotoxicological tests should be used, and which ...

The influence of sugarcane pre‐harvest fire on hantavirus prevalence in Neotropical small mammals
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of pre‐harvest fire in sugarcane fields surprisingly results in an increase in the abundance of Neotropical Sigmodontinae rodents, which might carry hantavirus. By contrast, fire suspension induces a decline in rodents in the first 5 years.

Occupancy data improves parameter precision in spatial capture–recapture models
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 We fitted a spatial capture–recapture integrated model (SCR‐IM) to stone marten (Martes foina) data, and estimate population size based on integration of three submodels: (1) individual capture histories from live capture and transponder tagging; (2) detection/nondetection or “occupancy” data using camera traps in a bigger area to extend the geographic

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 2211-2229, July 2021., 2021 Abstract High temperatures can negatively influence plant growth and development. Besides yield, the effects of heat stress on fruit quality traits remain poorly characterised. In tomato, insights into how fruits regulate cellular metabolism in response to heat stress could contribute to the development of heat‐tolerant varieties, without detrimental ...

A ‘How to’ guide for interpreting parameters in habitat‐selection analyses
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 5, Page 1027-1043, May 2021., 2021 Habitat‐selection analyses allow researchers to link animals to their environment in support of wildlife management and conservation efforts. We provide a ‘how to' guide for correctly interpreting parameters in habitat‐ and step‐selection functions and for implementing integrated step‐selection analyses using the amt package for program R.

Design of on‐farm precision experiments to estimate site‐specific crop responses
Agronomy Journal, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 1366-1380, March/April 2021., 2021 Abstract Site‐specific prescriptions require estimating response functions to controllable inputs across the field. The methodology of applying geographically weighted regression to on‐farm precision experimentation studies opens new opportunities to study site‐specific responses to inputs in farmers' fields by locally estimating the regression ...

Seed production and dispersal limit treeline advance in the Pyrenees
Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 981-994, November 2020., 2020 We have analysed the role of seed production, germination and dispersal of the treeline‐forming species in the Pyrenees, Pinus uncinata, as potential drivers of treeline dynamics. Our results indicate that whereas the viability of Pinus uncinata seeds is not limited by elevation, seed production and dispersal constrain the treeline advance in the ...

In Vitro Toxicity Assessment of Stilbene Extract for Its Potential Use as Antioxidant in the Wine Industry [PDF]
, 2019 The reduction of sulfur dioxide in wine is a consumer’s demand, considering the allergic effects that may occur in people who are sensitive to it. Stilbenes are candidates of great interest for this purpose because of their antioxidant/antimicrobial ...
