Congenital Ocular Findings in an Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus)
This study reports the first documented case of bilateral congenital cataract associated with retinal dysplasia in an Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) calf. Ophthalmologic examination and ocular ultrasonography confirmed lens opacity at the posterior pole, which correlated with behavioural deficits consistent with visual impairment.

Along with precipitation, forest cover emerges as a fundamental driver of alpha and beta diversity in the seed rain. This highlights the role of habitat amount at the landscape level over patch‐level features, like patch size, for seed dispersal. However, increased seed density can be related to higher dispersal rates in forest borders.

Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

Quality Characteristics of Processed Opuntia ficus‐indica Using Selected Drying Techniques
ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop and characterize the technological, physical, nutritional, and bioactive properties of cactus cladode flour (Opuntia ficus‐indica L.) obtained through freeze‐drying (OP‐FD) and air circulation oven drying (OP‐AC). The flours exhibited low water activity (OP‐AC: 0.410; OP‐FD: 0.501), moisture content (OP‐AC: 5.8 g ...
