Stingless bees as collectors of resin from Bertholletia excelsa Bonpland (Lecythidaceae)

Entomological Communications, 2023
Stingless bees build their nests using, in general, clay, wax and resins; in addition, these bees also use resins for defense against natural enemies and as an antimicrobial agent.

A Case of Pulmonary Zygomycosis Caused by Cunninghamella bertholletiae

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1997
Cunninghamella bertholletiae, a rare causative agent of human deep seated mycosis, has been reported with increased frequency in the Western countries, in recent years. We experienced a case of Cunninghamella bertholletiae pulmonary infection in a 63-year-old male with pulmonary fibrosis and mild diabetes mellitus.

Composite design bioinspired by the mesocarp of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa)

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2022
Abstract The mesocarp of Bertholletia excelsa is a rich source of inspiration for strong, stiff and damage-tolerant composites. The bioinspired composites developed here are composed of an epoxy matrix with a 3D printed polylactic acid reinforced with 30% of carbon fiber (PLA-30CF) inspired in fibers, and syntactic foam inspired by ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Zygomycosis caused byCunninghamella bertholletiaein a kidney transplant recipient [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2004
Infections caused by Cunninghamella bertholletiae are rare but severe. Only 32 cases have been reported as yet, but in 26 of these this species was a contributing cause of the death of the patient. This opportunistic mould in the order Mucorales infects immunocompromized patients suffering from haematological malignancies or diabetes mellitus, as well ...

Amazonia 2040: Spatial‐explicit futures scenarios for the mosaic of protected areas in the Lower Rio Negro (MBRN), Brazil

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Spatial‐explicit futures scenarios were applied in the Mosaic of Protected Areas of the Lower Rio Negro (MBRN), for co‐creating scenarios for the MBRN in the year 2040. Scenario making enabled negotiating desirable futures, aligning values and goals.

Compounds from Brazil nuts and their effects on Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) survival in bulk ground feed [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Sitophilus zeamais is a pest in several stored agricultural products, but presents difficulty feeding on Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K). Even when certain bulk bran feeds are unsuitable for its development, it may be found in these products ...

Spatial Mismatches of Plant‐Pollinator Interactions Under Future Climate Conditions

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Global change could disrupt critical ecological interactions, especially if interacting species shift their geographic ranges at different rates or in different directions. Functional redundancy within generalized networks could make them more resilient to climate change than networks with highly specialized interactions.

Assembling the Neotropical Tree Flora: Andean Uplift and the Historical Biogeography of the Brazil Nut Family (Lecythidaceae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The assembly of tropical tree floras is complex, involving many lineage‐specific histories; however, focusing on the biogeographic history of diverse clades can reveal general patterns. We investigated the historical biogeography of the ecologically important Brazil nut clade (Lecythidoideae) to: (1) expand prior phylogenies with greater ...
