Age and growth of the spiny butterfly ray Gymnura altavela (Elasmobranchii, Gymnuridae) in the Southwest Atlantic (in situ) and under human care in a public aquarium (ex situ): Plasticity and population patterns

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides the first age and growth assessment of the endangered spiny butterfly ray, Gymnura altavela (Linnaeus, 1758), in the Southwest Atlantic, while also updating the growth parameters (asymptotic disc width—DW∞ and growth coefficient—k) estimated in an ex situ a marine aquarium setting.

Diet‐Related Differences Predominate Over Breed‐Associated Differences in Hepatic Lipid Metabolism, Antioxidant Vitamins and Lipid Quality Indices Among Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how nutritional management and genetic background influence hepatic metabolism is important for improving the nutritional quality of bovine products in tropical production systems. This study evaluated breed‐associated differences under a common dietary regimen and diet‐related differences within the Nelore breed with respect to ...

Extracting vitalities: Cuts in Indigenous women's bodies‐territories (Brazil)

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I explore the connections between the medicalization of childbirth and environmental devastation through Guarani‐Mbyá understandings of life and the living. I argue that the cuts made to Guarani‐Mbyá women's vaginas (episiotomies) in Brazilian hospitals are experienced and situated on the same cosmopolitical level as the cuts ...

High prevalence of a host‐associated Anaplasma lineage in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Anaplasma sp. DNA was detected in 47.9% of free‐ranging coatis (Nasua nasua) sampled in Iguaçu National Park, southern Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed a genetically distinct Anaplasma lineage infecting coatis, differing from Anaplasma strains detected in associated tick populations.

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Metagenomic detection and characterization of RNA viruses associated with Rhipicephalus linnaei (Audouin, 1826) ticks from the Amazon, Pará, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Metagenomic analysis of Rhipicephalus linnaei from the Brazilian Amazon revealed the presence of RNA viruses belonging to the families Chuviridae, Phenuiviridae, Orthomyxoviridae and Rhabdoviridae. This study reports the first detection of Brown dog tick mivirus 1 and Brown dog tick phlebovirus 2 in Brazil, based on genomic characterization and ...

Plant‐Based Diet and Sleep Quality in Adults: Exploring the Role of Lifestyle and Health Mediators

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the association between plant‐based dietary indices (PDI) and sleep quality and examined the mediating roles of lifestyle and health‐related factors. A total of 5260 participants (18–65 years) were included. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PDI—including overall (oPDI), healthy

A Computer Vision‐Based Methodology to Estimate Fruit Colour Diversity in Ornamental Pepper (Capsicum spp.)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit colour diversity within different ripening stages confers ornamental value for pepper plants. Using images can be helpful in analysing the fruit colour‐related genetic diversity and enable selecting accessions for ornamental purposes by avoiding subjectiveness.

Selection of Apple Trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) Based on Genetic Parameters Estimated Through Mixed Models

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Brazilian apple breeding (Malus domestica Borkh.), Active Germplasm Banks are providing the genetic diversity required for selecting genotypes with low chilling requirements, high yield and superior fruit quality. This study estimated genetic parameters and perform genotype selection based on phenotypic traits from the IDR‐Paraná breeding ...
