The Presence and Behaviour of Birds at Two Prescribed Fires in Sweden. [PDF]
Shifting fire regimes pose immediate threats to animal conservation. Swedish birds appear to mostly ignore prescribed fire, and some species even continue to sing. Behavioural plasticity towards fire is poorly understood, but may prove to be an essential tool in animal conservation.

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 ...

A ESTRUTURA FUNDIÁRIA DO PANTANAL BRASILEIRO
The Pantanal is an extensive area located in the Center-West of Brazil, recognized for being an active sedimentation basin, of depression relief with seasonally flooded plains. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) considers Pantanal as one of the six Brazilian biomes, of national and international relevance.

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal
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.

Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration
Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

ABSTRACT The cuticle and medulla of guard hairs exhibit distinct morphological patterns among mammalian species. To investigate this variability in marsupials from the Brazilian Amazon, we analysed guard hairs from nine Didelphimorphia species and incorporated data from an additional 25 didelphid species.
