Experiments performed in Brazil show that systematic eradication of plants contaminated by cowpea aphid-borne virus (CABMV) can keep orchards producing for at least 25 months and avoid annual replanting.

Mountain range uplift, river formation and other events that occurred 30 million years ago explain the emergence of new species of the arachnid in the biome's southernmost portion, according to a Brazilian study.

A FAPESP-funded study with results published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases has identified markers capable of predicting mortality in patients with symptoms of yellow fever, potentially helping to prevent the development of severe conditions.

Terra-i allows specialists and governments around the globe to keep tabs on forest cover change, and generate warnings on deforestation in near real-time. Now, an open-access user manual allows anyone to use this free tool.

Using artificial intelligence, scientists created an easy-to-use tool to detect banana diseases and pests. With an average 90% success rate in detecting a pest or a disease, the tool can help farmers avoid millions of dollars in losses.

A new study published in Science shows that farmers in northern India could increase their profits if they stop burning their rice straw and adopt no-till practices to grow wheat. Alternative farming practices could also cut farmers' greenhouse gas emissions from on-farm activities by as much as 78% and help lower air pollution in cities like New Delhi.

A new study, undertaken by a team of scientists from BIOS, the Bermuda Government Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the University of Rhode Island, used DNA markers to characterize the genetic diversity of Bermuda's baitfish populations. The island's baitfish were shown to exist in highly mixed populations of up to six different species indicating that individual fish from multiple locations around the island contribute to a single gene pool.
