- 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…
- XII International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions, AR.EXT
- Visit of a foreign researcher within the scope of the CEPID project of the Center for Research in Biodiversity and Climate Change at UNESP, AV.EXT
Abstract
The visit of Dr. Pedro Jordano, one of the most respected ecologists of our time, with key contributions to the understanding of plant-animal interaction networks, seed dispersal ecology and biodiversity, aims to consolidate long-standing collaborations with a fruitful history of scientific production between the research groups involved, now brought together under the aegis of the CEPID …

- PALEOENVIRONMENTAL AND STRATIGRAPHIC SIGNIFICANCE OF MICROFOSSILS IN THE SCHWARZRAND SUBGROUP, NAMA GROUP., BP.IC
Abstract
This project focuses on the study of microfossils from the Schwarzrand Subgroup (Nama Group) and aims primarily to advance knowledge about the paleoenvironment and biostratigraphic assemblages of microfossils associated with the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition within the Nama Group. The specific objectives of this work are: a- to describe and identify the microfossils present in the Schwarz…
- Thermal tolerance in giant ants: how do Dinoponera quadriceps adapt to heat in different Brazilian biomes?, BP.PD
Abstract
As global temperatures rise, the ability to mitigate high temperatures will increasingly define predictions of animal extinction and distribution. However, there is still no consensus on the variation and plasticity of thermal traits among ant populations or their capacity to withstand thermal stress. Therefore, we propose investigating the thermoregulatory mechanisms of the Brazilian end…
- DEGRADATION OF PESTICIDES 2,4-D E IMIDACLOPRID VIA ADVANCED OXIDATIVE PROCESSES: THE INFLUENCE OF HETEROESTRUCTURED MATERIALS IN THE MODIFICATION OF GAS-DIFFUSION ELECTRODES, BP.PD
Abstract
Despite being a cornerstone of the economy, the current agricultural model is characterized by high water consumption and excessive use of pesticides in crops. This sector impacts both availability and contamination of water resources. The agricultural pesticide industry generates a huge volume of wastewater containing different active pesticide compounds. The consumption of water contami…

- Planning the use of photovoltaic panels as a resource for heat reduction in dairy cattle in an integrated pasture-based production system, BP.TT
- PIRACICABA, CAPIVARI AND JUNDIAÍ RIVER BASIN UNDER THE IMPACT OF POLLUTANTS OF EMERGING CONCERN: AN ENVIRONMENTAL PERSISTENCE STUDY, BP.MS
Abstract
Contaminants of emerging concern (ECs) are potentially toxic compounds that are difficult to remove by traditional effluent treatment processes, detected in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, seas, etc. Recently, 45 ECs were identified in the rivers of the Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiaí (PCJ) basin, including bisphenol A (BPA), 1-bromo-4-fluorobenzene (p-BFB), 2-fluorbiphenyl, dichloroacetic ac…
- 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…

- 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…
- Improving water security through indicators based on Information and Communication Technologies, BE.EP.MS
Abstract
O principal desafio de gestão de recursos hídricos é como garantir quantidade e qualidade de água suficientes para consumo humano, atividades produtivas e ecossistemas, uma vez que a gestão eficaz da água requer monitoramento em tempo real e análise de dados de forma eficiente.1.619 / 5.000The main challenge in water resource management is how to ensure sufficient quantity and quality of …

Abstract
This project proposes a one-month research internship at the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research of San Luis Potosí (IPICYT), in Mexico, under the supervision of Dr. Fredy Alvarado. The objective is to complement the ongoing Scientific Initiation project funded by FAPESP, developed at UNESP in Rio Claro under the supervision of Prof. Dr. João Carlos de Castro Pena. The mai…
- RIBEIRÃO DAS PEDRAS/CAMPINAS-SP BASIN AND CÉRTIMA-COIMBRA/PT RIVER: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF URBAN ECOSYSTEM SERVICES FOR PROVISION OF CONSERVATION STRATEGIES, BE.EP.IC
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate and compare the provision of ecosystem services in urban green areas, with an emphasis on pollination, flood mitigation and carbon storage. Using the Landscape Assessment Protocol (LAP) and the InVEST software, this research will be carried out in two urban areas: the Ribeirão das Pedras watershed in Campinas, Brazil, and the Cértima River in Coimbra, Portugal.…
- EVALUACIÓN DE LA CONTAMINACIÓN POR MESO Y MICROPLÁSTICOS EN ÁREAS NATURALES PROTEGIDAS DE MÉXICO Y TOXICIDAD ASOCIADA, BE.EP.MS
Abstract
La contaminación por residuos plásticos se ha convertido en un importante problema ambiental global, que particularmente afecta a los ecosistemas marinos y costeros. La mayoría de los residuos plásticos provienen de fuentes terrestres, las cuales pueden persistir en el medio ambiente y acumularse durante mucho tiempo y, finalmente, pueden dar lugar a fragmentos más pequeños como meso y mi…
