Freshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened habitats on Earth, due mainly to anthropogenic pollutants made up of complex mixtures. The Iguaçu River is world famous for the Iguaçu Falls and highlighted by its endemism. Unfortunately, it is considered the second most polluted urban river in Brazil. We aimed to perform an environmental evaluation of Neotropical streams in the Iguaçu River basin, using a multibiomarker approach from a land use and landscape perspective. A set of biomarkers in the fish Psalidodon bifasciatus was analyzed using an Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) index and correlated with surrounding land uses. Agricultural and urban sites presented more alterations compared to references sites, with elevated protein carbonyls at agricultural sites, increased DNA damage and depletion of glutathione S-transferase at urban sites and decreased glutathione associated with higher histopathological indices at urban and agricultural sites. The IBR shows a consistent increase in negative effects in anthropized areas, with similar values at agricultural and urban sites. The multibiomarker approach, associated with a well-elaborated sample design and a statistical analysis, is an ideal method to obtain more conclusive results about the effects of human activities, revealing the effective result of exposure in the real world.

Melanized fungi and black yeasts in the family Herpotrichiellaceae (order Chaetothyriales) are important agents of human and animal infectious diseases such as chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis. The oligotrophic nature of these fungi enables them to survive in adverse environments where common saprobes are absent. Due to their slow growth, they lose competition with common saprobes, and therefore isolation studies yielded low frequencies of clinically relevant species in environmental habitats from which humans are thought to be infected. This problem can be solved with metagenomic techniques which allow recognition of microorganisms independent from culture. The present study aimed to identify species of the family Herpotrichiellaceae that are known to occur in Brazil by the use of molecular markers to screen public environmental metagenomic datasets from Brazil available in the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). Species characterization was performed with the BLAST comparison of previously described barcodes and padlock probe sequences. A total of 18,329 sequences was collected comprising the genera Cladophialophora, Exophiala, Fonsecaea, Rhinocladiella and Veronaea, with a focus on species related to the chromoblastomycosis. The data obtained in this study demonstrated presence of these opportunists in the investigated datasets. The used techniques contribute to our understanding of environmental occurrence and epidemiology of black fungi.

Exposure to Sunlight Affects the Body Temperatures of Sharks WOSNICK, NATASCHA; Emygdio Leite de Araújo Monteiro-Filho; HAMMERSCHLAG, NEIL Frontiers for Young Minds, v. 8, p. 1-7, 2020 DOI Palavra-chave: Conservation physiology; fishing; thermoregulation; Thermal physiology Áreas do conhecimento: Ciências Biológicas; Bioquímica dos Microorganismos; Enzimologia; Ciências Biológicas; Fisiologia; Fisiologia Geral resumo ... Did you know that sharks are sometimes exposed to situations that can hurt them? Because they are big and fierce, sharks are often sought after in fishing tournaments. During capture, sharks are often removed from the water and exposed to the sun. Since shark health is linked closely to their body temperatures, we wondered if this exposure to the sun would affect them. To test this idea, we used a special camera that can record the heat coming off the shark’s body surface. We discovered that some shark species are more sensitive to sun, warming up quicker than others. Surprisingly, we also found that warming patterns differed across the body for different species. This study is important because it helps us understand how fishing can affect sharks in different ways, even if the sharks are released back into the water alive.
