Use of Metagenomics and Isolation of Actinobacteria in Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest Soil for Antimicrobial Prospecting [PDF]

ISRN Biotechnology, 2014
Modern techniques involving molecular biology, such as metagenomics, have the advantage of exploiting a higher number of microorganisms; however, classic isolation and culture methods used to obtain antimicrobials continue to be promising, especially in the isolation of Actinobacteria, which are responsible for the production of many of these compounds.

Demographic Rates of Tree Species in Subtropical Forests Vary Across Ontogenetic Stages Regardless of Their Biogeographical Origin and Leaf Habit

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Subtropical forests, particularly the Araucaria Forest, host tree species of both temperate and tropical origins that exhibit contrasting ecological strategies, which may shift across ontogenetic stages. However, whether and how biogeographic origin, leaf habit, and ontogenetic stage influence population growth and demographic rates of tree ...

Morphological Characteristics of Tropical Precipitation Features Producing Extreme Instantaneous Rain Rates in GPM and DYAMOND Global Storm Resolving Models

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The influence of the spatial organization of tropical convection on the production of extreme instantaneous localized tropical rain rates remains poorly constrained, both in observations and in models. Using retrievals from the Ku‐band radar onboard the GPM satellite, we identify tropical precipitation features (PFs) and quantify their ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Ecology, biology and distribution of spotted-fever tick vectors in Brazil

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Spotted-fever caused Rickettsia rickettsii infection is in Brazil the major tick-borne zoonotic disease. Recently a second and milder human rickettsiosis caused by an agent genetically related to R.

Bias Correction of ERA5 Temperature Across Five Topoclimatic Clusters: A Comparative Evaluation of Four Methods

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 12, October 2026.
ERA5 near‐surface temperature over South America exhibits systematic cold biases in daily maximum temperature and warm biases in daily minimum temperature. To address the continent's strong climatic and topographic heterogeneity, South America was partitioned into five topoclimatic clusters, and four bias‐correction approaches were evaluated. The Multi‐

A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 12, October 2026.
We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

Aiouea riedeliana comb. nov. (Lauraceae) from Brazil, with an amended description and provisional extinction threat assessment

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Aiouea riedeliana (Kosterm.) P.L.R.Moraes and Brotto is the new combination for Cinnamomum riedelianum Kosterm., whose type‐bringing synonym is Persea riedelii Meisn. The placement of this taxon in Aiouea is presented, justified, and illustrated here, disagreeing with its previous classification in Ocotea, as Ocotea riedeliana (Kosterm.) Kottaim., then
