Species Distribution Modeling Reveals Future Climate Refugia and Important Areas for Rocky Plants in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Climate change is projected to sharply reduce suitable habitats for eight endemic rupestrian plant species in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. Ensemble niche models reveal species‐specific vulnerabilities and highlight climatic refugia and corridors that may support persistence.

Metabolomic Analysis of Phytophthora parasitica Growth in the Presence of β-sitosterol Indicates Adaptive Mechanisms Modulated by Sterols. [PDF]

J Basic Microbiol
ABSTRACT Phytophthora parasitica is a generalist phytopathogenic oomycete that infects a series of crops with great economic interest, including tomato, tobacco, and citrus species. Sterols are essential lipids in eukaryotic organisms, playing a fundamental role in the structure and function of the cell membrane.

Fusarium wilt–common bean pathosystem: Pathogen variability and genetic control

Crop Science, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2609-2622, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Sustainable management of plant diseases has been a challenge in the effort to feed a human population that has increased substantially. One of the main diseases that affect common bean and dry bean is Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Fop), which can cause losses of up to 100% in crop production.

Beans with bugs: Covert carnivory and infested seed selection by the red‐nosed cuxiú monkey

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 579-593, May 2023., 2023
The red‐nosed cuxiu monkey specializes in eating un‐ripe seeds. Our study show they prefer those that are infested with larval insects. We believe this to be because the seeds they eat are very low in protein, while larval insects are protein‐rich and also easily digested.

Evaluation of the theoretical risk of cross‐reactivity among recently identified food allergens for dogs

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 523-526, December 2022., 2022
Background: There is increasing evidence of cross‐reactivity between allergens of close or distant species. The A‐RISC (Allergens'–Relative Identity, Similarity and Cross‐reactivity) index helps evaluate the risk of theoretical cross‐reactivity between proteins of the same family among different species.

Trust your guts? The effect of gut section on diet composition and impact of Mus musculus on islands using metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.

Effects of time since invasion and control actions on a coastal ecosystem invaded by non‐native pine trees

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Pine invasion reduced native species abundance, plant cover, richness and diversity, with an increase over time since invasion. Species diversity and richness were lower in the managed area than in the area that had not been invaded. Restoration activities are therefore required to increase native species diversity.
