Spatial and seasonal distribution of selected nitrogen cycle genes in deep waters of the Baltic Proper by Michał Grabski, Michał Grabski, Ewa Kotlarska, Aneta Łuczkiewicz, Konrad Hryniewicz, Grzegorz Węgrzyn, Beata Szymczycha

“…As the microbial community structure and functional capacities remain underestimated in terms of temporal and geographical coverage in the Baltic Sea, our understanding of the nitrogen cycle with respect to ecosystem functioning and climate change is limited. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the seasonal and spatial structure of microbial community abundance involved in the nitrogen loss (denitrification, anammox), reduction processes (dissimilatory nitrate reduction (DNR), dissimilatory nitrite reduction to ammonium (DNRA), and oxidation process (nitrification) in the Baltic Proper (Bornholm Deep, Gdańsk Deep, and Gotland Deep). …”

Mixed pastures and biological efficiency in buffalo production systems: determinants for a sustainable livestock by Juan Pablo Uzcátegui-Varela, Martha Gloribet Ceballos Ramírez

“…If these recommendations are met, production with B. bubalis would offer beneficial ecosystem services that would make the buffalo system a safer, more sustainable and resilient supplier of animal protein, since farms that operate under biological diversification criteria are more resistant to climate change, improve soil health, increase animal productivity and make efficient use of nutrients; however, each system is unique and its dynamism among components varies according to the yield goal sought by the producer according to local conditions. …”

Electrocardiographic changes induced by temperature variations in newly hatched Aperema (Rhinoclemmys punctularia, Daudin, 1801) by Deise de Lima Cardoso, Deise de Lima Cardoso, Brenda Stefany dos Santos Braga, Brenda Stefany dos Santos Braga, Daniella Bastos de Araújo, Clarissa Araújo da Paz, Luciana Eiró-Quirino, Thaysa de Sousa Reis, Luana Vasconcelos de Souza, Rayllan da Cunha Ferreira, Gabriela Brito Barbosa, Raíssa Vieira de Souza, Yris da Silva Deiga, Maria Klara Otake Hamoy, Diva Anelie de Araújo Guimarães, Diva Anelie de Araújo Guimarães, Moisés Hamoy

“…IntroductionAperema (Rhinoclemmys punctularia) is a South American semi-aquatic freshwater turtle characterized by a highly curved, dark brown to black carapace and is distributed across Central and South America. Climate change affects freshwater turtles in a number of ways, including temperature, hatchling sex, and survival.MethodsTherefore, we analyzed temperature variations in these turtles through electrocardiographic recordings, since studies on temperature variations in R. punctularia are limited.Results and discussionElectrocardiography (ECG) is a highly relevant diagnostic tool as it allows for precise assessments of cardiac events and is non-invasive. …”
