  • Vampire Bats and Wild Boars in Northern Paraná: One Health Perspectives on a Novel Report
    João Gabriel Feriato do Nascimento, Jader Almeida de Barros Silva, Flávio Haragushiku Otomura, Marco Antonio Zanoni, Matheus Pires Rincão, Diego Resende Rodrigues
    Scientifica, 2025
    Since its introduction to the Americas in the early 20th century, the wild boar (Sus scrofa) has affected Brazilian ecosystems and may have contributed to the spread of zoonotic diseases, especially rabies. Its interactions with the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) can increase the risk of rabies transmission. These interactions remain poorly documented, particularly in the São Francisco Forest State Park, a conservation unit in the north of Paraná. In this study, we used camera traps to record three interactions between D. rotundus and S. scrofa, revealing a potential new route for zoonotic spread. Urbanization expansion and forest fragmentation further raise the risk of rabies transmission to animals and humans. Our findings highlight the need for policies and strategies to control wild boar populations and monitor vampire bats to protect public and environmental health in the region.

    Macronutrients are essential for plants, and their deficiency results in decreased productivity, hindering the plant from completing its life cycle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect and symptomatology of macronutrient omission in maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, with the following treatments: T1: no macronutrients; T2: complete except for Nitrogen; T3: complete except for Phosphorus; T4: complete except for Potassium; T5: complete except for Calcium; T6: complete except for Magnesium; T7: complete except for Sulfur; and T8: all nutrients included. Micronutrients were added to the treatments, irrigated with 60% water retention capacity. A Completely Randomized Design was applied, with 5 repetitions per treatment. After 80 days, the analyzed variables were: plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, fresh mass weight, and dry mass of above-ground and root parts. Analysis of variance was performed, and means were compared using the T-test for multiple comparisons (LSD) at a 5% probability level. Treatments with omission of N, P, and S were the most affected in all evaluated variables. On the other hand, the absence of Ca, K, and Mg nutrients had little impact on plant development.
  • The effects of red and white LED lighting on laying performance in hens over 72 weeks of age

    Artificial lighting has enabled improvements in egg production, and different types of light and wavelengths have been tested to achieve better production results in the past. It has been established that red light positively affects the laying performance of hens when such a lighting programme is applied prior to sexual maturation. However, few studies have investigated the effects of light colour on the performance of laying hens during the final stages of production. This study examined the effects of supplementing natural light with white or red lighting during the autumn–winter season on the laying performance, feed intake, average egg weight, egg mass, and feed conversion per egg of laying hens, and the albumen height, yolk colour, and Haugh units of their eggs. The effects on shell thickness, shell strength, body mass, ovary weight, and oviduct weight were also assessed. A total of 7680 70-week-old Lohmann LSL laying hens housed in four California-type sheds were used in the study. Hens exposed to the white light treatment had significantly heavier ovaries; however, no significant differences between red and white lighting were found among the other evaluated variables.

  • SURVEY OF NON-FLYING MAMMALS IN A SEMI-DECIDUOUS SEASONAL FOREST FRAGMENT AT SÃO FRANCISCO FOREST STATE PARK

    The Atlantic Forest is a highly diverse biome due to its significant geographical variation in latitude, longitude, and altitude. Mammals are particularly susceptible to habitat fragmentation. Surveys of these group in forest fragments essential for conservation efforts. Surveys of non-flying mamals provide critical data on biodiversity, aiding in the protection and management of species and their habitats. To assess the richness of non-flying mammals in the São Francisco Forest Conservation Unit, we used direct observation methods and camera traps. The study began in early 2022 and was concluded in September 2023. We recorded 24 native species and two exotic species. Four species found are vulnerable to extinction: Herpailurus yagouaroundi, Leopardus guttulus, Leopardus wiedii, and Alouatta guariba clamitans. Notably, the most frequently recorded species was the exotic Sus scrofa (37% of records), followed by native species Dicotyles tajacu (18%), Didelphis albiventris, and Nasua nasua (both around 7%). The low richness can be attributed to factors like habitat fragmentation, historical anthropogenic impacts and the size and degree of isolation of the Conservation Unit. These findings include significant new records for the region, such as Dicotyles tajacu, which had not been documented in this fragment previously. However, the high frequency of the invasive species Sus scrofa poses a concerning impact on local biodiversity. This study highlights the fragment’s critical importance for maintaining the biodiversity of non-flying mammals in the Atlantic Forest biome.

  • Height structure and spatial pattern of five tropical tree species in two seasonal semideciduous forest fragments with different conservation histories

    Revista Arvore, 2016
    Anthropogenic disturbances in forests modify survival conditions and development of plants, which has direct effect on the height and spatial structure of tree populations. This study aimed to compare the height structure and spatial pattern of five tree species in two distinct fragments of seasonal semideciduous forest with different histories of conservation. We studied shade-intolerant (Astronium graveolens Jacq., Gallesia integrifolia (Spreng.) Harms) and shade-tolerant species (Chrysophyllum gonocarpum (Mart. & Eichler ex Miq.) Engl., Euterpe edulis Mart. and Holocalyx balansae Micheli). Sixty plots of 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) were allocated, being 30 contiguous plots in each fragment. All individuals of five species were marked, assessed for total height data and mapped using Cartesian coordinates. We observed differences in height structure between fragments. All populations had a random spatial pattern, except to H. balansae in the less conserved fragment and E. edulis in the conserved fragment that showed a clumped spatial pattern. There were evidences of forest regeneration due to the establishment of shade-tolerant species in less conserved fragment and coexistence of functional groups in both fragments. The height structure and spatial pattern analyses indicating that anthropogenic exploitation changed the environment and population structure in the less conserved area when compared to conserved area. The anthropic exploitation was ceased few years ago, so it is expected that the less conserved fragment reach the stability of an old-growth forest.
