Antifungal Activity of Essential Oils from Five Piper Species against Botrytis cinerea from Strawberry

Abstract Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is susceptible to several fungal diseases, such as gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, that compromise fruits during and after harvest. Disease control usually involves synthetic fungicides; however, the frequent selection of iso...

Optimizing sampling protocols: is it feasible to collect predatory beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae and Carabidae) using dung beetle (Scarabaeinae) traps in soybean fields and native vegetation areas in Brazil?

Optimizing sampling protocols can improve data reliability while reducing sampling effort. As sampling methods for dung beetles are well established, testing their efficiency for other key beetle groups, such as Carabidae and Staphylinidae, may help refine sampling approaches. Bo...

On the validity of Plecturocebus parecis Gusmão et al., 2019, a titi monkey described from southwestern Brazilian Amazonia

Abstract Plecturocebus parecis was described from the southwestern Brazilian Amazon, but its taxonomic status was subsequently questioned after mitochondrial evidence prompted alternative hypotheses regarding species limits within this complex. We reassessed these hypotheses usin...

Rapid increase of climate extremes reveals new areas of concern in Amazonia

Abstract Amazonia is highly sensitive to climate extremes, yet we lack an Amazon-wide assessment that examines the spatial-temporal changes in these extreme conditions. We address this within seasons and across the hydrological year, using a quantiles approach that integrates the...

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion (DMVO): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Recent Randomized Controlled Trials

Supplementary Material for Abstract ID 1793 presented at the 18th World Stroke Congress (WSC 2026), Seoul, South Korea. Title: Mechanical Thrombectomy for Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion (DMVO): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Recent Randomized Controlled Trials Author: R...

Integrating the Classical and Molecular Approaches Toward Passion Fruit Resistance Against CABMV

Abstract Passion fruit, a tropical species cultivated across various nations, faces challenges in expanding its cultivation areas due to several constraints, including total crop losses, caused by the fruit woodiness virus. In Brazil, this condition is attributed to the cowpea ap...

Molecular and Phylogenetic Identification of Fungal Taxa Associated with Soybean Anomaly in Brazil

Soybean anomaly, characterized by immature pod and grain rot, has been reported in Brazilian soybean production fields, but the fungal taxa associated with symptomatic tissues remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to identify fungi associated with soybean plants showing a...

Fire absence favours tree growth above the flame zone threatening South American Cerrado vegetation

Tropical savannas, including the Brazilian Cerrado, face significant woody encroachment linked to fire suppression. We investigated floristic composition, horizontal and vertical structure, and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series in a 1-hectare plot within Chapada dos Gui...

The Human Dimension of Araucaria Forest: Resource Uses, Landscape Management, and Ethnozoology

Abstract Local knowledge is a useful tool for understanding historical ecological processes and landscape management. We evaluated the ecological history of Araucaria Forest, including the use of its resources ( Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze [Araucaria seeds] and Feijoa...
