plantR: An R package and workflow for managing species records from biological collections

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 332-339, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Species records from biological collections are becoming increasingly available online. This unprecedented availability of records has largely supported recent studies in taxonomy, biogeography, macroecology and biodiversity conservation. Biological collections vary in their documentation and notation standards, which have changed through time.

Effect of crude glycerin levels on meat quality and carcass characteristics of crossbred Boer goats

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 10, Issue 7, Page 2312-2317, July 2022., 2022
Abstract This study assessed the effects of four levels of crude glycerin (0, 50, 100, and 150 g/kg dry matter (DM) basis) in the diet of Boer crossbred goat kids on the qualitative and quantitative carcass characteristics as well as meat quality. Thirty‐two crossbred, castrated Boer x undefined breed goat kids with an initial average weight of 17.8 ...

Election cycles affect deforestation within Brazil's Atlantic Forest

Conservation Letters, Volume 14, Issue 5, September/October 2021., 2021
Abstract Policymakers’ incentives during election campaigns can lead to decisions that significantly affect deforestation. Yet this is rarely studied. For Brazil's Atlantic Forest, a highly biodiverse tropical forest, we link federal‐and‐state as well as municipal elections to annual deforestation between 1991 and 2014.

Bisphenol A Induces DNA Damage and Differential Cytotoxicity in Thyroid Cells: High‐Dose Effects Challenge Regulatory Thresholds

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor, has been implicated in carcinogenesis; however, its effects on thyroid cells remain unclear. This study investigated BPA‐induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in thyroid cell lines, including normal follicular (Nthy‐ori 3‐1), papillary carcinoma (TPC‐1 and BCPAP) and anaplastic

Lactic Acid Influences Iron Assimilation by a Fungal Pathogen via the Iron Reductive Uptake Pathway

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Lactate modulates iron homeostasis in Candida albicans by repressing the reductive iron uptake pathway, reducing reliance on high‐affinity iron transport. This process promotes intracellular iron accumulation and enhances growth, even in iron‐transport‐deficient strains under iron‐limited conditions.
