DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-10243-3
Abstract: Several aspects of the relationships between VME indicator taxa and associated fauna have been previously explored mainly on rocky habitat respect the soft bottom. However, the soft bottom hosts many VMEs indicator taxa for which… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.00347
Abstract: Allelopathy and autotoxicity are well-known biological processes in angiosperms but are very little explored or even unknown in seaweeds. In this study, extract and major pure compounds from two distinct populations of the red seaweed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d17040233
Abstract: Bivalves serve as the first intermediate hosts in the life cycles of some digeneans, but little is known about their larval stages along the southwestern Atlantic coast. These larvae may provide valuable insights into the… read more here.
