Marine sediments explain how part of Brazil’s Northeast region became semi-arid
Publicado em 23 junho 2021
(AGENPARL) – WORCESTER (MASSACHUSETTS), mar 22 giugno 2021 (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) The phenomenon is linked to gradual contraction of the tropical rain belt over the last 5,000 years, according to a study conducted at the University of São Paulo. Its findings can help predict the region’s future climate.

Poaching affects behavior of endangered capuchin monkeys in Brazilian biological reserve
Publicado em 21 junho 2021(AGENPARL) – WORCESTER (MASSACHUSETTS), lun 21 giugno 2021 (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) Contradicting theories of primatologists, a study led by Brazilian scientists shows that in a habitat with high hunting pressure, the risk of predation influences the habits of these monkeys more than the availability of food. They spend less time in areas they perceive as ‘more dangerous’ even if plant biomass and invertebrates are [...]ver notícia -

Experiments simulate possible impact of climate change on crabs
Publicado em 14 junho 2021(AGENPARL) – WORCESTER (MASSACHUSETTS), lun 14 giugno 2021 (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) Fewer Atlantic mangrove fiddler crab embryos survived in a warmer, more acid environment mimicking conditions forecast for the end of this century. Given the important ecological role of this invertebrate in mangroves, the researchers warn of a potential cascade [...]ver notícia -
Study helps to deeper understanding of brain dysfunctions in patients with schizophrenia
Publicado em 08 junho 2021(AGENPARL) – WORCESTER (MASSACHUSETTS), lun 07 giugno 2021 (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) Researchers used protein mapping to show how abnormal levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate impair the functioning of neurons and oligodendrocytes. The findings could serve as a basis for more effective treatment. Fonte/Source: https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2021-06/fda-sht060721.phpver notícia -

Research identifies climate-change refugia in dry-forest region
Publicado em 27 maio 2021Several indicators point to the adverse impacts of climate change on the planet’s vegetation, but a little-known positive fact is the existence of climate-change refugia in which trees are far less affected by the gradual rise in temperatures and changing rainfall regimes. Climate-change refugia are areas that are relatively buffered from climate change, such as wetlands, land bordering water courses, rocky outcrops, and valleys with cold-air pools or inversions, for example. A study [...]ver notícia -
How a single gene alteration may have separated modern humans from predecessors
Publicado em 12 fevereiro 2021As a professor of pediatrics and cellular and molecular medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Alysson R. Muotri, PhD, has long studied how the brain develops and what goes wrong in neurological disorders. For almost as long, he has also been curious about the evolution of the human brain — what changed that makes us so different from preceding Neanderthals and Denisovans, our closest evolutionary relatives, now extinct? Evolutionary studies rely heavily on [...]ver notícia
