Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities of Bluestem (<i>Andropogon</i> spp.) Extracts against <i>Vibrio cholerae</i>. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Microbiol
Vibrio cholerae is a gram‐negative bacterium found in water, particularly in brackish and estuarine environments, and causes cholera—an acute disease transmitted through contaminated food or water. Biofilm formation in V. cholerae enhances its resistance to antimicrobial agents and protection against host immune responses.

Frugivory and seed dispersal in the Cerrado: Network structure and defaunation effects

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 849-865, July 2023., 2023
We investigated the Cerrado seed dispersal network and the potential impacts of defaunation on it by performing a systematic literature review. The Cerrado network has a heterogeneous structure, slightly nested and considerably modular, and is dominated by generalist species.

Soil‐associated drivers of plant traits and functional composition in Atlantic Forest coastal tree communities

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Abstract The severe deforestation of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest and the increasing effects of climate change underscore the need to understand how tree species respond to climate and edaphic factors. To identify the most important environmental drivers of coastal Atlantic Forest diversity and functional composition, we studied 42 plots of coastal ...
