Habitat Suitability for a Unique, Fully Marine American Manatee (Trichechus manatus) Population Primarily Depends on Presence of Submarine Freshwater Springs

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The American manatee (Trichechus manatus) requires freshwater mainly from rivers and springs to maintain osmoregulatory balance in saline environments. However, in Brazil's semi‐arid Potiguar Basin, manatees now rely solely on submarine freshwater springs because hypersaline estuaries have become unsuitable sources of freshwater.

Analysis of Quality Differences in Rhizoma Musae From Different Origins Based on Rhizosphere Soil Bacterial Diversity and Metabolomics

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study integrated bacterial diversity and metabolomics to explore correlations among soil factors, rhizosphere microorganisms, and quality of Rhizoma Musae from different origins. Significant differences in active components and 571 differential metabolites were detected, enriched in key secondary metabolism pathways.
