title: Ecomorphology and functional diversity of generalist and specialist bird assemblages in Amazonian white-sand ecosystem habitat patches

description: ABSTRACT Birds that inhabit white-sand ecosystems (WSE) in the Amazon are adapted to habitats distributed as isolated patches. These environments occur in sandy soils that are extremely poor in nutrients, have low floristic diversity and support bird assemblages restricted to WSE. We investigated whether bird species specialized in WSE have morphological or ecological traits that distinguish them from generalist birds that share the same habitat but are not restricted to WSE. We collected morphological and ecological data from 22 specialist and 102 generalist bird species from WSE and described their ecomorphological diversity using multivariate analyses and measures of functional diversity. Understory insectivorous species that move alone or in pairs, were the group with the most species among specialist birds from WSE. In contrast, canopy frugivorous species that form mono- or heterospecific groups were more frequent among generalist species. Specialist and generalist birds overlapped extensively in ecomorphological space, with specialists occupying a narrower space compared to generalists. Functional diversity, however, was not different between specialist and generalist species when controlling for the number of species within the communities. Further studies comparing the ecomorphological diversity of bird assemblages of other environments in the Amazon may highlight the ecological pressures leading to the functional diversity of specialist species in WSE observed in this study.

title: Effects of childhood obesity on ocular pulse amplitude and intraocular pressure

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude changes in obese children and adolescents using dynamic contour tonometry. Methods: 137 cases, 64 obese and 73 healthy children, who were both age-matched and gender-matched, comprised the study population in this cross-sectional study. Children with body mass index values &gt;95% for sex and age were regarded as obese. Participants underwent detailed ophthalmological examinations, including intraocular pressure measurement using a Pascal dynamic contour tonometer. Relationships between intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude measurements and age, sex, obesity, pubertal status, and insulin resistance were investigated. Results: Bilateral ocular pulse amplitude was lower while intraocular pressure was higher in the obese group than in the control group (p&lt;0.001). No significant relationship was observed between insulin resistance and intraocular pressure or ocular pulse amplitude (p&gt;0.005). No correlation was determined between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, or blood lipid levels and intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude. Conclusion: Our results show that obesity caused an increase in intraocular pressure and a decrease in ocular pulse amplitude independently of insulin resistance in children and adolescents. Prospective studies involving long-term follow-up of cases are now needed to assess the probable adverse effects of these ocular findings in obese children.

title: Morphophysiological changes in black pepper under different water supplies

description: ABSTRACT. The center of origin and domestication of Piper nigrum L. are in high rainfall regions. But when grown in regions with irregular or insufficient rainfall, irrigation becomes essential. This study evaluated the impact of irrigation levels on the physiological and growth characteristics of black pepper plants, cv. Bragantina. It was carried out from April 2019 to May 2020, using automatic activation irrigation. We used emitters with different flow rates to apply water depths corresponding to 100, 81, 62, and 42% of the crop water requirement. The parameters evaluated comprised main stem length (MSL), stem diameter (SD), number of leaves (NL), leaf area (LA), chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, and some photosynthetic parameters. The treatments significantly influenced (p &lt; 0.05, F-test) MSL and NL. Plants submitted to the control treatment showed MSL (65.8%) and NL (123%) greater than those irrigated with the smallest volume (p &lt; 0.05, F-test). However, the treatments had no significant effect on SD. Moreover, chlorophyll b levels decreased by 26% and chlorophyll a/b ratio increased by 22% at 120 and 180 DAT, respectively. Some photosynthetic parameters such as FV/FM, ABS/RC, and DI0/RC were affected by water deficit at 120 DAT. Our results suggest the sensitivity of black peppers to water deficit and contribute to the proper management of this crop.

title: Population suppression of phylloxera gallicolae and radicicolae forms on grapevines with the use of synthetic insecticides

description: ABSTRACT: The grapevine phylloxera Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch, 1856) is the main insect pest of viticulture globally. Infestations can occur in the aerial part of the plant (gallicolae form) and roots (radicicolae form). In this study, the effect of insecticides on the populations suppression of the gall and root forms of phylloxera one vine was evaluated. For the gallicolous form, the thiamethoxam (Actara 250 WG®, 40g c.p./100L-1), flupyradifurone (Sivanto® Prime 200 SL, 75mL c.p./100L-1), and sulfoxaflor (Closer® SC, 40mL c.p./100L-1) were evaluated in the field, under natural infestation, using rootstock plants ‘Paulsen 1103’ (Vitis berlandieri x V. rupestris). For the root stage, an experiment was carried out in a greenhouse using rooted seedlings of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ (Vitis vinifera) grown in pots artificially infested with 200 phylloxera eggs per plant. After 80 days of infestation, the thiamethoxam (0.2g p.c./plant), flupyradifurone (0.8mL p.c./plant), sulfoxaflor (0.3mL/plant) and imidacloprid (Proved 200 SC, 0.7 mL/plant) were applied via drench. For the gallicolae form, an application of the flupyradifurone provided a gall reduction of 90% at 28 days after the first application (DAFA). While for thiamethoxam, 3 applications were needed at weekly intervals to maintain the same level of control. For sulfoxaflor, a second application at 14 DAFA was necessary to provide a level of control above 90%. For the root stage, the insecticides sulfoxaflor and imidacloprid showed the best results, with 96 and 89% of control over nymphs and adults, respectively. The insecticides flupiradifurone and sulfoxaflor are suitable for the chemical control of phylloxera in the vine.

title: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PKM16 acts as an antagonist of white mold and an inducer of defense enzymes in tomato plants

description: ABSTRACT. This study aimed to investigate the potential of rhizobacteria isolated from tomato plants to control Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and induce the activity of pathogenesis-related enzymes in Micro-Tom tomato plants. Three rhizobacterial isolates were evaluated to determine the most efficient antagonist agent, which was later identified by gene sequencing as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PKM16. The antagonistic effects of B. amyloliquefaciens against S. sclerotiorum were assessed in vivo and in vitro using live and autoclaved cultures at concentrations of 0% (control), 20%, 30%, and 40% (v/v). The residual effects of four treatments (20% live culture, 20% autoclaved culture, a Bacillus subtilis-based commercial product, and autoclaved distilled water) on tomato plants inoculated with S. sclerotiorum were determined. The same treatments were also used to assess the myceliogenic germination of sclerotia and induction of plant defense enzymes (peroxidase, catalase, polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, and β-1,3-glucanase) in tomato plants. The live culture had a residual effect for 4 days and inhibited sclerotial germination by approximately 30%. Furthermore, live and autoclaved bacterial growth cultures stimulated enzyme activity. Therefore, B. amyloliquefaciens PKM16 was antagonistic to S. sclerotiorum, effectively inhibiting mycelial growth and activating defense mechanisms in Micro-Tom tomato plants.

title: Yield prediction in banana (Musa sp.) using STELLA model

description: ABSTRACT. To overcome the challenges encountered in banana cultivation, such as the high cost of production due to high water consumption by the banana plant, efficient management practices are being adopted. The use of agricultural forecasting techniques is an alternative that has been gaining attention in rural areas. One way to manage and improve agricultural productivity is the use of technologies that allow the monitoring of production. The implementation of computational tools as software to aid processes, such as irrigation management, is gradually taking up space in the agricultural sector. In this light, herein, the present study aimed to develop a model using STELLA 8.0 software to estimate the growth and productivity of irrigated banana (Musa sp.). For this, the physiological processes and water demand were calculated using reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and culture evapotranspiration (ETc) in the first banana cycle for the climatic conditions of the Jaíba Project (Jaíba, Minas Gerais State, Brazil). The data of the climatic conditions were obtained from the National Institute of Meteorology. It was verified that the average monthly ET0 was 5.78 mm day-1. In addition, the water requirement of the plant corresponded to a blade equivalent to 65% of ET0. The verified productivity was 8.93 t ha-1, which is considered adequate for the simulated conditions. The model responded efficiently to the proposed application and was characterized as a prognostic tool of reality through simplified representation.

title: Recent changes in trends of mortality from cervical cancer in Southeastern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the trends of cervical cancer mortality in Brazilian Southeastern states, and to compare them to Brazil and other regions between 1980 and 2020. METHODS Time series study based on data from the Sistema de Informações de Mortalidade (Brazilian Mortality Information System). Death data were corrected by proportional redistribution of deaths from ill-defined causes and cervical cancer of unspecified portion. Age-standardized and age-specific rates were calculated by screening target (25–39 years; 40–64 years) and non-target (65 years or older) age groups. Annual percentage changes (APC) were estimated by linear regression model with breakpoints. The coverage of Pap Smear exam in the Unified Health System (SUS) was evaluated between 2009 and 2020 according to age group and locality. RESULTS There were increases in corrected mortality rates both in 1980 and in 2020 in all regions, with most evident increments at the beginning of the series. There was a decrease in mortality nationwide between 1980–2020; however, the state of São Paulo showed a discrete upward trend in 2014–2020 (APC=1.237; 95%CI 0.046–2.443). Noteworthy is the trend increment in the 25–39 year-old group in all study localities, being sharper in the Southeast region in 2013–2020 (APC=5.072; 95%CI 3.971–6.185). Screening coverage rates were highest in São Paulo and lowest in Rio de Janeiro, with a consistent decline from 2012 onwards at all ages. CONCLUSIONS São Paulo is the first Brazilian state to show a reversal trend in mortality from cervical cancer. The changes in mortality patterns identified in this study point to the need for reorganization of the current screening program, which should be improved to ensure high coverage, quality, and adequate follow-up of all women with altered test results.
