Restoration age, distance from reference ecosystems, and host plant feeding guilds shape the diversity of frugivorous butterflies in ecological restoration areas in the Atlantic Forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The fragmentation of the Atlantic Forest has caused severe biodiversity loss. In Paraná State, more than 96% of the original vegetation, predominantly semideciduous seasonal forest, has been degraded. Ecological restoration is a key strategy to reverse this scenario, aiming to recover environmental conditions equivalent to the ...

Hydraulic architecture of lianas in a semiarid climate: efficiency or safety?

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2015
Xylem anatomical traits can provide insights regarding the mechanisms affecting the distribution of vascular plants across environmental gradients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the hypothesis that lianas occurring in semiarid environments have ...

Unraveling the spatial landscape of dystrophinopathies: a transcriptomic approach to Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophies

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 269, Issue 3, Page 363-380, July 2026.
Abstract Dystrophinopathies are caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene, resulting in partial (Becker) or complete loss (Duchenne) of dystrophin. Becker (BMD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are characterized by progressive muscle wasting, fatty replacement, fibrosis, and loss of function.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1345-1356, July 2026.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Behavioral Flexibility and the Conservation Value of Howler Monkey Populations in Small Habitat Patches

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.
Standardized effect sizes of the relationships between predictor and response variables. Natural logarithms are denoted as “ln.” Open circles (blue outline) indicate mostly positive effects; solid circles (red filled) indicate mostly negative effects. ABSTRACT Species occupying small habitat patches and exhibiting behavioral and ecological flexibility ...

Lianas reduce biomass accumulation in early successional tropical forests

, 2020
Early successional tropical forests could mitigate climate change via rapid accumulation of atmospheric carbon. However, liana (woody vine) abundance and biomass has been increasing in many tropical forests over the past decades, which may slow the speed

Association of cognitive impairment and APOE ε4 with Centiloids in Hispanic and non‐Hispanic White cohorts

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Weak associations of apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 with cognitive impairment have been reported in Hispanic cohorts. To determine if APOE ε4 associates with brain amyloid load differently in Hispanic and non‐Hispanic White (NHW) cohorts, we analyzed reported Centiloid values from studies that conducted amyloid positron emission ...
