Traçando a saída para o desenvolvimento: o caso do Corredor de Nacala em Moçambique

Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura, 2019
O artigo aqui proposto faz uma leitura crítica da trajetória recente do boom das commodities, procurando problematizar as estratégias recentes de construção de corredores econômicos centrados em dinâmicas de expropriação de terras e exploração de ...

Evaluating the sustainability of mineral water consumption using multi‐scale hydrogeophysics in Caxambu, Brazil

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract A better understanding of the near‐surface aquifer system of the Caxambu Water Park, located in the Minas Gerais State, Brazil, has been achieved. The study aimed to identify groundwater reservoirs and flow patterns and contribute to the hydrogeological conceptual model using a multi‐scale geophysical approach.

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular

Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Synthesis of Poly(Itaconate)s With High Monomer Conversion Applying Emulsion Polymerization

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1284-1296, 15 March 2025.
Itaconic acid and its derivatives are a promising and bio‐based substitute for oil‐based polymers such as acrylates. In this study, the optimization of polymerization of itaconic acid esters is described by applying emulsion polymerization leading to high reaction conversions and low residual monomer contents. ABSTRACT Itaconic acid and its derivatives

Herbarium digitisation sheds light on historical distribution and drivers of population extinction of a peat bog specialist

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity loss threatens ecosystem services and human well‐being. Understanding the extent and causes of changes in biodiversity over time can help protect species and their habitats. Herbaria house carefully documented and curated specimens collected by generations of botanists.
