A vulture recently arrived at the Santos Municipal Orchid Garden and an owl living in captivity for ten years were colonized by antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli.
Brazilian researchers, in partnership with French institutions, combine advanced cell image analysis technology and machine learning and discover a morphological marker linked to individuals who do not respond to natalizumab.
A study published in the journal Nature Astronomy challenges traditional explanations about the origin of the innermost planet in the Solar System and proposes a more likely scenario. The collision would have stripped away up to 60% of its original mantle, which would explain its extreme metallicity.
According to the expert affiliated with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, technology can either reinforce inequalities or expand citizenship, depending on how it is regulated.

Study shows that most of the country’s underground reservoirs will lose their capacity for renewal, increasing the risk of water shortages in several regions, especially the Southeast and South. One strategy to address the problem is “managed recharge,” which includes techniques that promote the infiltration of rainwater or even treated sewage.
A summary of published studies on the risk of emerging diseases shows that only 7.4% simultaneously consider hazard, exposure, and vulnerability to infection. These three components are essential for reliably and accurately assessing the risk of these diseases in the context of environmental change.
Analysis of the interaction between ants, plants that secrete sweet substances to attract them, “interested” in defending themselves from leaf-eating animals, and bees indicates that the ants may scare away pollinators. Butterflies, on the other hand, are not bothered.
Bringing together studies by various experts, the book Science of Early Childhood highlights the importance of this period in people’s development and lives. It also warns of the far-reaching consequences of social inequality.
A study in an animal model analyzed the muscle metabolism of guinea pigs on a high-calorie diet. Ultimately, consumption of the plant extract increased the expression of genes associated with glucose uptake and the activity of an essential metabolic enzyme.
Non-compliance with the law, facilitated by errors in the technical language used in environmental licensing, has already led to the loss of over 580,000 hectares of native vegetation, 61% of which has been converted for agricultural use.
Brazilian researchers have developed a tool that can be used to improve animal welfare by assessing tambaqui fish based on the coloration of the lower half of their bodies. Brazil is the world’s largest producer of this species.
