Fish on Fire: Shifts in Amazonian fish communities after floodplain forest fires

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1637-1646, August 2023., 2023
Amazonian fish communities change after floodplain forest fires. Unburnt forests have diverse fish communities, with a large proportion of unique and small omnivorous species. In contrast, carnivores and detritivores become more common in fire scars and white‐sand savannas formed after forest fires. Less omnivore fish after forest fires can reduce tree

Not just for programmers: How GitHub can accelerate collaborative and reproducible research in ecology and evolution

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1364-1380, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Researchers in ecology and evolutionary biology are increasingly dependent on computational code to conduct research. Hence, the use of efficient methods to share, reproduce, and collaborate on code as well as document research is fundamental.

Forest conversion into pasture selects dung beetle traits at different biological scales depending on species pool composition

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Briefly, we assess the impacts of forest conversion on the functional diversity of dung beetles in two different regions of Brazil, considering in particular intraspecific variation. To do this we conducted standardized surveys in seven forest fragments and adjacent pastures for every region and measured fourteen traits in individuals collected in each

AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest

open access: yesEcology, Volume 103, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Abstract The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time

Amazonian Guarana‐ and Açai‐Conjugated Extracts Improve Scratched Fibroblast Healing and Eisenia fetida Surgical Tail Amputation by Modulating Oxidative Metabolism

open access: yesOxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. Previous studies have suggested that guarana (Paullinia cupana) and açai (Euterpe oleracea) have antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and proliferative properties, indicating their potential therapeutic action in wound healing. We produced a conjugated guarana‐açai (GA) extract and tested its healing action on earthworms (Eisenia fetida ...

Frugivory underpins the nitrogen cycle

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 357-368, February 2021., 2021
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Tropical rainforests are populated by large frugivores that feed upon fruit‐producing woody species, yet their role in regulating the cycle of globally important biogeochemical elements such as nitrogen is still unknown.

Causes and consequences of liana infestation in southern Amazonia

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 108, Issue 6, Page 2184-2197, November 2020., 2020
Lianas are a pervasive and influential feature of the extensive forests at the southern edge of Amazonia. Our long‐term research here shows that liana infestation is closely linked to tree properties, including species‐level variables such as potential growth and wood density as well as the dimensions of individual trees. The growth of heavily infested

Superoxide imbalance triggered by Val16Ala‐SOD2 polymorphism increases the risk of depression and self‐reported psychological stress in free‐living elderly people

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020
Our results showed that the VV‐SOD2 genotype significantly increased the risk for depression and psychological stress in the elderly subjects. VV‐subjects also had a higher daily intake of antidepressants, anxiolytics, and anti‐inflammatory drugs.
