As global temperatures continue to reach all-time highs and discussions intensify about ways to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, researchers at the University of São Paulo's Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ-USP) in Brazil have reported the results of a scientific study showing that if all the country's active legal mining sites continue to operate in the coming decades, emissions will total an estimated 2.55 gigatonnes of equivalent carbon dioxide (Gt [...]

By analyzing temperature patterns at five points along the Brazilian coast over the last 40 years, scientists confirmed the impacts of global warming on the country: hotter summers, more heat waves and greater thermal amplitude throughout the day. On the coast of Espírito Santo state, the frequency of daily occurrences of extreme temperatures and heat waves increased by 188% during the period studied; Rio Grande do Sul saw an increase of 100% and São Paulo, 84%. Such climate [...]

by Julia Moióli, FAPESP About a third of the restaurants listed on iFood, the food delivery app most used by Brazilians, are "dark kitchens," according to the first study of the topic conducted in Brazil, and one of only a few worldwide. An article on the study is published in the journal Food Research International. It has eight authors; the first three and the last are researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo state. Defined in the [...]

A study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution concluded that Luzio, the oldest human skeleton in Southeast Brazil, is a descendant of indigenous populations that inhabit the country today. The study, which compiled a mass of Brazilian archaeological genomic data, helps to unravel how the so-called Sambaqui coastal societies disappeared, and how their inhabitants relate to today’s indigenous communities. Luzio was found in the Ribeira Valley region of São Paulo [...]

SĀO PAULO, BRAZIL—Analysis of DNA samples taken from 34 individuals whose remains were at least 10,000 years old has offered clues to the identities of Brazil’s early populations, according to a Cosmos Magazine report. André Menezes Strauss of the University of Sāo Paulo explained that some of these people were members of communities that built sambaquis, or shell middens that served as dwellings, cemeteries, and boundary lines. The study found that 10,000-year-old human [...]

Nature in Madagascar, an island off southeast Africa slightly larger than metropolitan France, is so unusual that 82 per cent of its plant species and 90 per cent of its vertebrates are endemic, only occurring there. Living amidst this unique biodiversity is a population so deprived that the country's human development index (HDI) is one of the world's lowest, posing the challenge of harmonizing conservation with economic and [...]
