Compreendendo a eutrofização de uma lagoa costeira rasa subtropical pelo monitoramento de parâmetros hídricos
(2025) [Journal article]A Lagoa dos Barros, no sul do Brasil, é exutório de 11 afluentes (AS) que compõe sua bacia hidrográfica (240 km²). Em 2020 e 2022 houve floração de fitoplâncton. Amostras mensais de águas da Lagoa e dos AS, agrupados por ... -
Recent evolutionary origin and localized diversity hotspots of mammalian coronaviruses
(2024) [Journal article]Several coronaviruses infect humans, with three, including the SARS-CoV2, causing diseases. While coronaviruses are especially prone to induce pandemics, we know little about their evolutionary history, host-to-host ... -
Spatially prioritizing mitigation for amphibian roadkills based on fatality estimation and landscape conversion
(2023) [Journal article]Roads cause biodiversity loss and the effects of wildlife-vehicle collisions may ripple from individuals and populations to ecosystem functioning. Amphibians are threatened worldwide and, despite being particularly prone ... -
Cranial morphological variation of Ctenomys lami (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) in a restricted geographical distribution
(2023) [Journal article]The relationship between chromosomal and morphological variation in mammals is poorly understood. We analyzed the cranial size and shape variation in Ctenomys lami concerning to the geographic variation in their chromosome ... -
Medicinal plants with popular names associated with manufactured drugs in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil
(2024) [Journal article]Medicinal plants used by the population in southern Brazil have been observed to be popularly referred to by the names of manufactured drugs. This study aimed to find a connection between the use of medicinal plant species ... -
Synflorescence morphology of species of Typha L. (Typhaceae): anatomical and ontogenetic bases for taxonomic applications
(2019) [Journal article]The inflorescence of plants of the genus Typha L. consists of a polytelic system with the fertile region containing staminate flowers in the terminal portion and pistillate flowers in the basal portion. Although some useful ... -
Unraveling the evolutionary origin of the P5CS gene: a story of gene fusion and horizontal transfer
(2024) [Journal article]The accumulation of proline in response to the most diverse types of stress is a widespread defense mechanism. In prokaryotes, fungi, and certain unicellular eukaryotes (green algae), the first two reactions of proline ... -
Phytotoxic Activity of Myrciaria cuspidata O. Berg, a Dominant Myrtaceae Woodland Tree Native of Brazil
(2024) [Journal article]Limited phytodiversity and regeneration rates occur in some of the southern Brazilian formations known as the Myrtacean Woodlands. Data on phytotoxicity, chemical composition, and allelopathic potential of Myrciaria cuspidata ... -
Historical and ongoing hybridisation in Southern South American grassland species
(2024) [Journal article]Natural hybridisation in plants can impact genetic and morphological diversity, including the emergence of better-adapted new populations and the potential extinction of some lineages involved in this intricate process. ...
