- Development of 3D skin dressings manufactured with marine collagen and enriched with exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells for treating skin wounds in diabetic rats, AP.R
Abstract
There is currently a significant increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the world population, resulting in a high rate of morbidity and mortality in affected individuals. Systemic complications resulting from DM are responsible for the development of retinopathies, cardiovascular diseases, neuropathies and difficulty in healing after tissue injuries, with the appearance of…
- Plankton ecology across continents: a study of African and neotropical freshwater systems, AV.EXT
Abstract
Aquatic ecology has emerged as a crucial field of research globally, particularly due to its role in understanding and mitigating the impacts of environmental changes on freshwater ecosystems, in addition to water scarcity in several regions of the world. Among the world's most biodiverse yet vulnerable and understudied regions, the freshwater systems of Africa and the Neotropics (America…
- AquaInvert-Amazônia: Integrating science and local knowledge to understand the biodiversity of aquatic invertebrates in Amazonian high-altitude areas, AP.R
Abstract
Knowledge about the diversity of aquatic invertebrates in the Amazon is limited by its vast geographical extension and the difficulties in accessing certain regions due to the scarcity or precariousness of roads. This adds to the cost of research in these hard-to-reach regions, as it includes travel by air or river, and in the latter case, it takes time away from the team in the field, du…

- Mapping and geomorphological characterization of fluvial terraces in the Upper Juruá River, southwestern Amazon: an approach based on Digital Elevation Models., BP.IC
Abstract
The Amazon rainforest, globally renowned and scientifically requested for its exuberant biodiversity, shelters the world's largest river basin. Despite the growing recognition that the fluvial dynamics of a region play an important role in landscape evolution, information about the evolution of the Amazon River basin is still scarce. The Juruá and Purus rivers, in the southwestern portion…
- NARRATIVES AND SOCIAL COALITIONS IN THE TRANSITIONS TO SUSTAINABILITY IN BRAZILIAN AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS, BP.PD
Abstract
Agri-food systems are one of the main drivers of climate change, with impacts that cut across several dimensions. One third of all greenhouse gas emissions are generated by these systems. In socio-economic terms, conventional models have deepened inequalities. As for human health, the situation is paradoxical: while a third of the world's population faced some level of food insecurity in …

- Integrated analysis of fires in Acre: relationships between air quality and road network, BP.EVC
Abstract
This project aims to map and analyze fires in the state of Acre, focusing on the intentionality of these practices, air quality, and relationships with road infrastructure. Using geoprocessing techniques at the Laboratory of Applied Geoprocessing for the Environment (LabGAMA) of the Federal University of Acre, the study will seek to identify fire patterns and understand the motivations of…
- Effects of unpaved roads on medium and large-sized terrestrial mammals in Cerrado agricultural landscapes, BP.MS
Abstract
The use and construction of roads causes profound changes in landscapes and affects wildlife through various factors, such as deaths due to collisions with vehicles, changes in habitat quality and behavioral alterations, as well as fragmenting native vegetation. Among the types of roads, unpaved roads are particularly transformative, especially in agricultural regions of tropical countrie…

- Monitoring Ecosystem Health in a Tropical Restoration Site: Insights from Multi-Proxy Tree-Ring and Wood Traits Analysis, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Worldwide, there is a growing effort in restoration ecology, especially in regions with significant biodiversity, such as the Atlantic Forest biome. However, there are still knowledge gaps in the development of indicators to evaluate long-term restoration success and ecosystem health. Tree-ring studies offer a promising approach to evaluating restoration success by providing annual insigh…
- Spatial and temporal dynamics of rays in island systems of the southwest Atlantic: a study based on multiple methodological approaches, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Rays are important mesopredators in marine ecosystems, regulating prey populations and thus contributing to the genetic quality of biodiversity and, consequently, to the health of the oceans. Rays also have a significant socioeconomic importance for fishing communities and the recreational diving industry. Although they are caught by various types of fisheries, rays are highly susceptible…
- Uncovering the evolution of South American Perlidae (Insecta: Plecoptera): The mysterious case of the Anacroneuriini, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Plecoptera, commonly known as stoneflies, are aquatic insects that inhabit lotic environments with clean, cold, and well-oxygenated waters, being highly sensitive to environmental impacts. The degradation of watersheds, the loss of riparian vegetation, and the effects of climate change threaten these species, particularly in South America, where knowledge about their diversity remains lim…

- PREDICTORS OF VERTEBRATE FRUGIVORE SPECIES RICHNESS AND COMPOSITION IN INTENSIFIED BIOFUEL AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES, BE.EP.IC
Abstract
In the Modern Era, anthropogenic disturbance has been the direct driver of a series of species extinctions from a wide range of ecological guilds and phylogenetic clades, highlighting a global diversity crisis. In Brazil, relentless agribusiness expansion is the main threat to the preservation of natural heritage, especially in already highly fragmented biomes, such as the Atlantic Forest…
- Improvement of phenological metrics and computational application to identify soybean and corn in the Cerrado biome, BE.EP.IC
Abstract
Food security is a pressing global issue, emphasized in international conferences and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Cerrado, a biome vital to Brazil's biodiversity, is increasingly threatened by agricultural expansion and the growing demand for commodities like soybeans and corn. To address these challenges, innovative strategies are essential to balance ecosystem service …
- In-depth study of spermatophores and reproductive aspects of the copepod Notodiaptomus spinuliferus (Dussart & Matsumura-Tundisi, 1986) using diverse imaging and molecular biology techniques., BE.EP.IC
Abstract
The project aims to investigate the morphology, ultrastructure, and reproductive aspects of the spermatophores of the species Notodiaptomus spinuliferus, a freshwater copepod widely distributed in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Although there are many studies on copepod morphology, there is a significant scarcity of research focused on reproductive structure, especially in freshwater env…
