Raptor Entanglement with Human Debris at Nests: A Patchy and Species-Specific Problem
(The Raptor Research Foundation. BioOne, 2020-10)
Several species of birds, including raptors, add man-made objects, stones, greenplants, skins and dung of animals to build and decorate their nests. However, there is a compromise between the use of new nesting material ...
The use of anthropogenic debris as nesting material by the greater thornbird, an inland–wetland-associated bird of South America
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-07)
Plastic pollution has become a globally pressing environmental issue. In birds, plastic may cause harm by entangling or ingestion when used for nesting. The use of anthropogenic nesting material has so far been mostly ...
Waste of leaf-cutting ants: disposal, nest structure, and abiotic soil factors around internal waste chambers
(2017-06-01)
Leaf-cutting ants produce large quantities of waste that harbor bacteria and fungi that are harmful to the colony. To be protected from these pathogens, the workers of Atta species present a sophisticated organization to ...
First evidence of anthropogenic debris in nests of the Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) from a small semi-desert Argentinean coastal ecosystem
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-09)
Here, we present the first findings of anthropogenic debris (AD) used as nest material by the Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) on a small semi-desert coastal ecosystem in northern Argentine Patagonia. Anthropogenic debris was ...
Capacidade dos protocolos de ativação de irrigação na remoção de dentina e debris dos canais radiculares

Análise do mapa de frequências aplicada ao estudo de detritos espaciais na ressonância 14:1
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2018-03-07)
Neste trabalho apresentamos uma análise da dinâmica de detritos espaciais na ressonância 14:1. O sistema analisado foi o sistema Terra-detrito considerando a não esfericidade da Terra. Para esta análise foram utilizados ...
Moisture enhances the positive effect of leaf-cutting ant refuse dumps on soil biota activity
(Wiley, 2013-05)
Soil biota activity in arid lands is often limited by the availability of water and organic matter. We experimentally explored whether small changes in soil moisture affect the activity of soil biota in external refuse ...
Habitat and nest site characteristics of Olrog's Gull Larus atlanticus breeding at Bahía San Blas, Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-12)
Olrog’s Gull Larus atlanticus is a vulnerable species endemic to the Argentine Atlantic coast. We present information on new breeding colonies, update information on known colonies, and describe habitat and nest site ...
Seasonal flooding, topography, and organic debris interact to influence the emergence and distribution of seedlings in a tropical grassland
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-07-01)
In seasonally flooded wetlands, inundation and associated organic debris deposition followed by a drawdown period can promote plant community diversity across space and time. Post-flood regeneration might be influenced by ...
Avaliação dos protocolos de Easy Clean na remoção de detritos dos canais radiculares.
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2020-08-24)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different Easy Clean(EC) protocols by means of scanning electron microscopy. For that, 20 human lower premolars with curved canals were longitudinally sectioned ...
