The influence of recent Brazilian policy and legislation on increasing bee mort...
Nunes, Aline; Schmitz, Caroline; Moura, Sidnei; Maraschin, MarceloThe decline in bee communities in recent years has been a major concern worldwide. The increase in the mortality of these pollinators is related to several factors, the main one being the intensive use of pesticides in agricultural crops. Brazil is the world leader in use of pesticides since 2008 and recent changes in legislation have facilitated the commercialization of certain pesticides whose marketing has b...
In silico predictions for fucoxanthin production by the diatom Phaeodactylum tr...
Bauer, Claudia M.; Vilaça, P.; Ramlov, Fernanda; de Oliveira, Eva Regina; Cabral, Debora Queiroz; Schmitz, Caroline; Corrêa, Rafaela GordoDiatoms and brown seaweeds are the main producers of fucoxanthin, an oxy-carotenoid with important biological functions related to its antioxidative properties. The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum appears in this scenario as a good source for fucoxanthin production. Its whole genome sequence was published in 2008, and some genome-scale metabolic models are currently available. This work intends to make use of ...
Kelps’ long-distance dispersal: role of ecological/oceanographic processes and ...
Batista, Manuela; Batista Anderson, Antônio; Franzan Sanches, Paola; Polito, Paulo; Lima Silveira, Thiago; Velez-Rubio, Gabriela; Scarabino, FabrizioLong-distance dispersal is one of the main drivers structuring the distribution of marine biodiversity. This study reports the first occurrence of Macrocystis pyrifera and Durvillaea antarctica rafts on the southwestern warm temperate coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Our results indicate that an extreme meteo-oceanographic event, characterized by a northward, displacement of cold sub-Antarctic oceanic waters driven...

Schmitz, CarolineDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Biológicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Biologia de Fungos, Algas e Plantas, Florianópolis, 2017.; Os efeitos da radiação solar nos processos químicos e biológicos nos ambientes marinhos dependem principalmente da intensidade e do comprimento de onda. Os ambientes costeiros sempre estiveram sujeitos às altas radiações, porém a ...
