Mammalian responses to agricultural cycles in Brazilian Atlantic Forest croplands
Abstract This study investigated how mammal communities responded to crop type, crop development stage, and distance from forest fragments in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We examined mammal diversity in annual crops (corn and soybeans) in Southern Brazil, testing three hypothes...

Transferability of ion force fields to OPC water: Maintaining single-ion and ion-pairing properties
Accurate ion force fields are essential for molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecular systems, particularly in combination with modern water models such as OPC. While OPC water provides an accurate description of key water properties and has been successfully applied in biom...
