DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring.

In vitro conservation of mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes): An important fruit tree of Brazilian Cerrado

Australian Journal of Crop Science, 2022
This study aimed at evaluating the effect of osmotic agents, sucrose, and abscisic acid on the in vitro conservation of mangaba trees by slow growth. Two experiments were carried out. Nodal segments were inoculated in the MS medium with the addition of 1) osmotic agents (15, 20, and 25 g L-1 of mannitol and 10, 20, and 40 g L-1 of sorbitol) + control ...

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.
