Large mammals have a significant impact on plant diversity, primary productivity and biomass in understory vegetation in neotropical forests, according to a study conducted by researchers at the State University of São Paulo (UNESP) in Brazil. Species such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) and white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu peccari) affect the spatial structure of plant communities while balancing the ecological balance of regions such as the Atlantic rainforest with different [...]

According to a survey of the management plans of 118 conservation units in Brazil, 60% use inappropriate methods to detect the presence of deer and 38% do not explain how they were used. As a result, the protection of these animals can be compromised. Eight species of deer live in Brazil. The three are red-listed as “vulnerable” by IUCN. The management plan defines the governance and technical aspects of the management of protected areas in Brazil. The Protected area The one [...]

In an article published in a journal eLife Researchers at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, to detect imbalances and complications in patients infected with Plasmodium vivax, which is the cause of malaria and the main cause of the disease. Explains the new strategy. Americas. Studies show that total parasite biomass in patients is a better predictor of the degree of out-of-bloodstream infection than parasitemia, which is the number of live parasites in a [...]

Researchers from the Federal University of San Carlos (UFSCR) in the state of So Paulo, Brazil, have worked with colleagues at University College London in the United Kingdom to find an efficient, simple and inexpensive way to predict the risk of dysfunction in the elderly. Can you , Did. .. They analyzed data from more than 3,000 people aged 60 and over living in the United Kingdom, and found that walking at a slow pace alone results in loss of ability to perform basic and assistive activities [...]

Worldwide, 118 million to 138 million tonnes of organic waste are generated annually, with waste from food production and distribution chains accounting for 100 million tonnes. Only about 25% of this bio waste is collected and recycled. The remaining 75% is simply abandoned, representing a huge loss of potential resources and great damage to the environment. These figures are from a report released in 2018 by the European Environment Agency. The statistics are up-to-date and are probably [...]

The extinct aquatic fungi of several amphibians that spend all or part of their life cycle in water also threaten terrestrial amphibians. In Brazil, FAPESP-backed researchers have detected unprecedented mortality in a genus of small frogs called pumpkin toads that live in the Atlantic Forest far from the aquatic environment. The animals were severely infected with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which causes chitrigiomycosis. Studies published in the journal Biological protection,teeth fungus [...]

In 2019, history student Rodrigo Gomez learned on social media about a call for volunteers to participate in marine-related science projects by the Institute of Marine Sciences (IMAR-UNIFESP) at the Federal University of Sao Paulo in Santos. rice field. The coast of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He signed up for the project, attended workshops and received on-site training. “I was very fortunate to get in touch with my professor and learn a lot about nature maintenance,” says Gomez, now a [...]

The Roman Empire was ruled by 175 men, from Augustus (63 BCE-19 CE) to Constantine XI (1405-53), including the Eastern or Byzantine Empire after the split in 395 CE, but excluding those who did not rule in their own right because they were minors during regencies or co-emperors. Only 24.8% of the 69 rulers of the Western Empire died of natural causes. The rest died a violent death on the battlefield or in palace plots. Considering all 175, 30% were murdered, committed suicide or died in [...]

Review articles published in journals Physiology frontier Researchers at the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil discuss the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 damages the kidneys and provide treatments to prevent severe kidney problems and chronic kidney disease. It may serve as the basis for further research to pursue. In COVID-19 patients. The study found that interaction with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) not only allows the virus to infect and replicate human cells, [...]
