Plant growth-promoting bacteria can greatly assist sustainable farming by improving plant health and biomass while reducing fertilizer use. The plant-microorganism-environment interaction is an open complex system, despite the active research in area, patterns root ecology are elusive. Here, we simultaneously analyzed datasets from seven independent studies that shared a methodology for bioprospection phenotype screening. soil richness of isolate's origin was classified Principal Component...
Abstract With animal species disappearing at unprecedented rates, we need an efficient monitoring method providing reliable estimates of population density and abundance, critical for the assessment status trend. We deployed 160 camera traps (CTs) systematically over 743 locations covering 17,127 km 2 evergreen lowland rainforest Salonga National Park, block South, Democratic Republic Congo. evaluated applicability CT distance sampling (CTDS) to different in size behaviour. To improve...
Genetic non-invasive sampling (gNIS) may provide valuable information for population monitoring, as it allows inferences of density and key behavioural traits such dispersal, kinship reproduction. Despite its enormous potential, gNIS has rarely been applied to small mammals, which live-trapping is still the most commonly used method. Here we evaluated applicability cost-effectiveness compared with live-trapping, monitor a metapopulation an Iberian endemic elusive rodent: Cabrera vole...
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a model perennial grass for bioenergy production that can be productive in agricultural lands are not suitable food production. There growing interest whether its associated microbiome may adaptive low- or no-input cultivation systems. However, the relative impact of plant genotype and soil factors on biomass challenge to decouple. To address this, common garden greenhouse experiment was carried out using six switchgrass genotypes, which were each grown four...
A bacterial strain designated SBR5 T was isolated from the rhizosphere of Triticum aestivum . phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence placed isolate within genus Paenibacillus , being most closely related to graminis RSA19 (98.1 % similarity). The a Gram-reaction-variable, motile, facultatively anaerobic bacterium, with spores in terminal position cells. Starch utilized and dihydroxyacetone catalase were produced. Strain displayed plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria...
Leaf fungal microbiomes can be fundamental drivers of host plant success, as they contain pathogens that devastate crop plants and taxa enhance nutrient uptake, discourage herbivory, antagonize pathogens. We measured leaf diversity with amplicon sequencing across an entire growing season in a panel switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum ). also sampled replicated subset genotypes 3 additional sites to compare the importance time, space, ecology, genetics. found strong successional pattern microbiome...
This initiative strengthens Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS) by enhancing preparedness, public health surveillance, and response capacities to emergencies across 27 Federative Units (FUs). Employing andragogical active methodologies, 156 action plans were developed, addressing preparedness (34.7%), surveillance (31.8%), (33.5%). Training in small groups fostered situational analyses, collaborative planning, practical application of theoretical knowledge, creating a scalable replicable...
Abstract Olive ( O lea europaea L .) farming is one of the most widespread agricultural practice throughout M editerranean basin. Current trends even predict an increase in land area devoted to olive farms as well intensification practices. However, knowledge effects on animal species still remains elusive and conservation management guidelines for relevant stakeholders are therefore urgently needed. Here, we investigate community composition activity patterns insectivorous bats monocultures...
This study evaluated the diversity of cultivable plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria associated with apple trees cultivated under different crop management systems and their antagonistic ability against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Samples roots rhizospheric soil from in organic conventional orchards southern Brazil were collected, together samples an area never used for agriculture (native field). Bacteria identified at genus level by PCR-RFLP partial sequencing 16S rRNA, some PGP...
Abstract Aim To examine the distributional patterns of vertebrates (including birds, bats, carnivores and lagomorphs) along landscape composition configuration gradients to better understand effects modification on occurrence at both species community level. Location The region Alentejo, a forest‐dominated area southern Portugal. Methods study was framed using 1647 hexagonal plots, each 259 ha in size. Composition were obtained for plot by integrating proportions main land cover types their...
In the pursuit of sustainable agriculture, bioinoculants usage as providers a crop's needs is method to limit environmental damage. this study, collection cultivable putative plant growth promoting (PGP) bacteria associated with wheat crops was obtained and bacterial sample characterized in relation functional diversity certain PGP features. The isolates were through classical cultivation methods, identified by partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing for traits interest. Functional characterization...
