Tree stems in tropical peat swamp forests are known as considerable methane (CH 4 ) emitters; however, little is about their carbon dioxide (CO 2 and nitrous oxide (N O) exchange. Differences between species, especially the role of palm exchange greenhouse gasses, have remained largely unknown. We measured stem CO , CH N O fluxes from different heights widely spread aguaje palms ( Mauritia flex...

Composed of various native and non-native plants, the Brazilian flora in its biodiversity remains a potential food source. In this context, plant species known Brazil as unconventional plants (UFP) deserve to be highlighted. Moreover, information concerning safety consuming UFP their natural toxins is still scarce. Thus, we explore current literature (2010–2020) obtain on toxicity, toxins, unde...

Biological pollution is recognized worldwide as one of the main threats to biodiversity, the economy and human health (ElliOTT, 2003). The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 has led to the colonization of the Mediterranean Sea by a large number of tropical/subtropical species that have established viable populations along the The state of knowledge on marine alien molluscan species from the Gulf...
