From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2199-2220, August 2026.Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Araticum (Annona crassiflora Mart.) by‐product supplementation at 200 or 400 mg/kg for 30 days did not improve body weight, glucose tolerance, or obesity‐related metabolic markers in high‐fat diet‐fed mice. However, it increased fecal moisture and intestinal mucus, reduced fecal pH, and promoted changes in gut bacterial richness, indicating potential ...

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2599-2622, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Fungal Community Composition Varies Across Floral and Extrafloral Nectaries
Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Floral (FNs) and extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are key plant microhabitats that mediate interactions among plants, insects, and microorganisms, yet their associated fungal communities remain poorly characterized, especially in tropical ecosystems.

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.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.

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.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.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Vitex L. is a pantropical genus of Lamiaceae comprising 209 taxa. Brazil harbors 35 species, representing nearly 50% of the genus richness in the Neotropics, with the Amazon showing the highest richness, followed by the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains. Nevertheless, most taxonomic studies of the genus have been conducted in Africa and Asia.
