Web building behavior in a wall spider (Oecobiidae) suggests a close relationship with orb-weavers
Diego Solano-Brenes, Danilo G. Muniz, Luis Sandoval, Olman Alvarado-Rodríguez & Gilbert Barrantes
Behavior is often phylogenetically informative and detailed descriptions of behavior have been used to support taxonomic relationships in several groups, such as birds, lizards, and arthropods. Web building behavior has provided informative traits to several spider families, but observations are lacking for other families, such as wall spiders Oecobiidae. Recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on molecular traits placed oecobiids either close to cribellate orb weavers (Uloboridae) or to long-spinneret spiders (Hersiliidae). Here, we describe for first...
Phytogeographic origin determines Tropical Montane Cloud Forest hydraulic trait composition
Fernanda De Vasconcellos Barros, Fernanda Barros, Paulo Bittencourt, Cleiton Eller, Caroline Signori-Müller, Leonardo Meireles & Rafael Oliveira
Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) have unique climatic conditions, which allow the coexistence of plant lineages with different phytogeographic origins from tropical versus temperate climates. Future climate projections suggest TMCFs will be subjected to increasing drought stress due to fog uplift and higher temperatures, possibly leading to tree mortality and local extinctions, and consequently changes in forest composition and functioning. Characterising community functional composition, trade-offs among traits and the drivers of community assembly is of...

The COVID-19 situation in Brazil is complex due to large differences in the shape and size of regional epidemics. Here we tested monthly blood donation samples for IgG antibodies from March 2020 to March 2021 in eight of Brazil’s most populous cities. The inferred attack rate of SARS-CoV-2 adjusted for seroreversion in December 2020, before the Gamma VOC was dominant, ranged from 19.3% (95% CrI 17.5% - 21.2%) in Curitiba to 75.0% (95% CrI 70.8%...
A literatura colonial e o confisco do imaginário
Rita Chaves
Na chamada literatura colonial o tratamento dado ao espaço e aos personagens encerra contradições essenciais na configuração do ponto de vista dessa produção integrada ao projeto de expansão do império português. Autores como Maria Archer, a despeito de sua intenção de promover o conhecimento dos povos invadidos, apenas reiteram uma visão que, retira ao colonizado a possibilidade alguma inteireza. Apenas a contraposição à “biblioteca,” montada nos séculos da dominação permitiria aos escritores africanos contracoloniais reverter...
Data from: Balanced spatial distribution of green areas creates healthier urban landscapes
Douglas W. Cirino, Leandro Reverberi Tambosi, Thais Mauad, Simone Rodrigues Freitas & Jean Paul Metzger
The benefits of green infrastructure on human well-being in urban areas are already well established, with strong evidence of the positive effects of the amount and proximity to green areas. However, the understanding of how the spatial distribution and type of green areas affect health is still an open question. Here, we explore how different spatial configurations of green and built-up areas, through a land sharing and sparing framework, and how different types of green...

Abstract Background Observational studies support a role for oral anticoagulation to reduce the risk of dementia in atrial fibrillation patients, but conclusive data are lacking. Since dabigatran offers a more stable anticoagulation, we hypothesized it would reduce cognitive decline when compared to warfarin in old patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods The GIRAF trial was a 24-month, randomized, parallel-group, controlled, open-label, hypothesis generating trial. The trial was done in six centers including a geriatric care unit,...

Multimorbidity is associated with TV-viewing, but not with other types of screen-based behaviors in Brazilian adults
Luciana L. S. Barboza, André O Werneck, Raphael H O Araujo, Luiz G G Porto & Danilo R Silva
Abstract Background The presence of multimorbidity increases the risk of mortality, and identifying correlates of multimorbidity can direct interventions by targeting specific modifiable correlates. Here we aimed to investigate the association between two types of screen-based behaviors and multimorbidity. Methods We used data from 87,678 Brazilian adults from the National Health Survey (2019). Multimorbidity (presence of two or more chronic conditions among 12 possibilities), TV-viewing, and time on other types of screens (computer, tablet, or...

Joyce Ribeiro Santos-Rasera, Rafael Giovanini de Lima, Dejane Santos Alves, Regina Teresa Rosim Monteiro & Hudson Wallace Pereira de Carvalho
Currently, copper nanoparticles are used in various sectors of industry, agriculture, and medicine. To understand the effects induced by these nanoparticles, it is necessary to assess the environmental risk and safely expand their use. In this study, we evaluated the toxicity of copper oxide (nCuO) nanoparticles in Danio rerio adults, their distribution/concentration, and chemical form after exposure. This last assessment had never been performed on copper-exposed zebrafish. Such evaluation was done through the characterization of...

Habitat loss shapes the structure and species roles in tropical plant-frugivore networks
Fernando César Gonçalves Bonfim, Pavel Dodonov, & Eliana Cazetta
Habitat loss is a global threat to biodiversity with pervasive effects on species and populations. These impacts may generate cascading effects on ecological processes propagating across ecological networks. Thus, understanding how habitat loss affects ecological networks is fundamental for conservation. We used a database of 25 plant-frugivore networks distributed across the whole Brazilian Atlantic Forest to understand how landscape-scale habitat loss shapes network structure, robustness, species role and traits related to seed dispersal. We compared...
