Sustainable Development Goals Applied to the Maritime Transportation Sector: Setting Sail for the Future

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

A new acoustic telemetry tag that identifies carrier mortality by monitoring activity level

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a new acoustic telemetry tag capable of detecting whether its carrier stops moving for long enough to presume the organism has died, and of reporting the time elapsed since movement ceased. The tag uses existing environmental sensor technology together with an algorithm with user‐specifiable thresholds, and importantly, can separate

Putative involvement of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA‐mediated ceRNA network regulation in drought priming to enhance drought tolerance in Nicotiana tabacum

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Drought priming increased the tolerance of Nicotiana tabacum to severe, recurring drought stress by modulating the expression of stress‐related genes via long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which acted as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) for microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs).
