    Description: Metagenomics is an expanding field within microbial ecology, microbiology, and related disciplines. The number of metagenomes deposited in major public repositories such as Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and Metagenomic Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology (MG-RAST) is rising exponentially. However, data mining and interpretation can be challenging due to mis-annotated and misleading metadata entries. In this study, we describe the Marine Metagenome Metadata Database (MarineMetagenomeDB) to help researchers identify marine metagenomes of interest for re-analysis and meta-analysis. To this end, we have manually curated the associated metadata of several thousands of microbial metagenomes currently deposited at SRA and MG-RAST.

    Description: New zircon U-Pb (SHRIMP and LA-ICPMS), elemental and Nd-Sr geochemistry data on rhyolitic metavolcanic and metavolcaniclastic rocks of NE Brazil characterize widespread arc-related phenomena during the Neoproterozoic, related to the Conceição-type or Stage I plutonic rocks. U-Pb zircon dating pinpoint the main phase of magmatic activity at ca. 635-600 Ma in the 700-km long sigmoidal Piancó-Alto Brígida domain, but other important flare-ups might have taken place at ca. 670-690, 730-760, 810-820 and 860-880 Ma. A comprehensive compilation of detrital zircon data from metavolcanosedimentary successions of the entire Borborema Province (n=5532) confirms the occurrence of a quasi-continuum Neoproterozoic spectra punctuated by peaks at those same age intervals separated by minor lulls. Low Th/U rims of zircon crystals dated at ca. 577 Ma provide an estimate of the age of regional transpressional metamorphism. Samples of all age ranges are mostly calc-alkaline, magnesian and peraluminous, with moderately to highly fractionated LREE enrichment, negative Nb-Ta anomalies akin to convergent settings, and plot mainly within the volcanic arc field in tectonic discrimination diagrams. Nd-Sr isotope systematics indicate the involvement of juvenile Neoproterozoic melts from the mantle wedge, which upon mixing with Archean-Paleoproterozoic basement and contamination with the host metasedimentary rocks yield Mesoproterozoic TDM mainly at 1.14-1.44 Ga, near-chondritic εNd(t) and 87Sr/86Sri 0.703-0.710. We put forward a model involving a major continental back-arc zone related to the development of the Conceição magmatic arc, akin to the modern-day Taupo volcanic zone of New Zealand, crosscutting NE Brazil and presumably continuing through the schist belts of Nigeria and Cameroon. The main magmatic flare ups might have been induced by extra-arc phenomena, such as collision of the West African paleocontinent with the northwestern Borborema edge due to closure of the exterior Goiás-Pharusian Ocean, force-speeding subduction in the interior V-shaped oceanic basins that constituted the Transnordestino-Central African Ocean and generating clockwise windshield-wiper-like rotation of the blocks back towards the São Francisco-Congo paleocontinent in a complete Wilson Cycle.

    Description: Archean orogenic gold deposits are hosted in the Rio das Velhas greenstone belt in the eastern sector of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Southern São Francisco Craton region, southeastern Brazil. These include the gold deposits along the NE-trending Córrego do Sítio lineament, stretching for some 15 km, and the Pilar deposit, object of the present study. These deposits occur in an area close to the boundary of the São Francisco craton, which is commonly interpreted to have preserved the Archean and Paleoproterozoic crust from the effects of Ediacaran-Cambrian Araçuaí orogenic front. The gold deposits were formerly interpreted as exclusively Archean (ca. 2.7 Ga). However, recent geochronological data suggest the imprint of the late Ediacaran-Cambrian Brasiliano Orogeny in host rocks of these deposits, as structural modification or hydrothermal alteration assemblages that postdates Archean mineralization. To elucidate those issues, contextual (thin section) in-situ U–Pb SHRIMP dating was conducted on hydrothermal monazite crystals from the Carvoaria and Cachorro Bravo deposits of the Córrego do Sítio lineament and from the Pilar gold deposit. Hydrothermal monazite in mineralized metapelites from Carvoaria yielded a U–Pb Discordia with intercepts at 2,514 ± 22 Ma and 555 ± 19 Ma. Three younger, age-equivalent crystals are concordant and yielded a U–Pb Concordia age of 539 ± 9 Ma, identical within uncertainties to the lower intercept age. Monazite from the Cachorro Bravo deposit yielded U–Pb Concordia ages of 551 ± 10 Ma and 510 ± 11 Ma. Monazite from the veined (silicified) sulfide-schist from the Pilar deposit is depleted in U, precluding the calculation of robust U–Pb ages, and disclosed a mean 208Pb/232Th average age of 508.2 ± 6.4 Ma. These results reinforce the proposal of a strong Ediacaran-Cambrian imprint related to the final stages of the Brasiliano orogenic event, affecting Archean gold deposits throughout the Quadrilátero Ferrífero. Consequently, the results point to the importance of mapping Brasiliano-related structures that control the spatial arrangement of the gold deposits, such as the Córrego do Sítio lineament, consisting of an important exploration target. This major NE-SW trending strike-slip shear zone hosts several gold deposits and might represent an Archean structure reactivated during the Brasiliano Orogeny that possibly led the large volume of Ediacaran-Cambrian post-collisional hydrothermal fluids among the east sector of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero.

    Description: Los yacimientos arqueológicos sumergidos vinculados a embarcaciones naufragadas hace décadas, siglos o milenios atrás, generalmente presentan una gran cantidad de condicionantes para las investigaciones científicas. Alrededor de la embarcación, o de los restos que se preservan de ella, es posible plantear múltiples preguntas relacionadas con su temporalidad, funcionalidad, origen espacial, hundimiento, identidad, entre muchas otras. Estas deben considerar el carácter dinámico de los contextos arqueológicos los cuales, lejos de ser unidades estáticas, se ven expuestos a una gran cantidad de factores de alteración que pueden modificar drásticamente sus características y particularidades. Así, resulta fundamental que los estudios interesados por cualquier tipo de patrimonio desarrollen aproximaciones interdisciplinares orientadas a comprender integralmente la naturaleza y las dinámicas de los yacimientos; es imprescindible cuestionarse por todos los procesos a los que la nave se vio expuesta, incluso desde el momento de su construcción, hasta su transformación en sitio arqueológico. En este orden de ideas, el presente artículo de reflexión plantea un análisis de la relación entre los diversos elementos característicos del entorno y la materialidad asociada a dos naufragios ubicados en los canales de Manzanillo y de Bocachica en Cartagena de Indias, los cuales corresponderían a naves que presumiblemente participaron en la batalla de 1741. De esta manera, el análisis de los datos recopilados en dichas investigaciones permite inferir en discusiones de carácter teórico y metodológico relacionadas con los procesos de formación de sitios arqueológicos sumergidos, con el estado de conservación de las evidencias materiales y con la identificación de los naufragios.
    Description: Submerged archaeological sites linked to shipwrecked decades, centuries or millennia ago, generally present many conditions for scientific research. Around the boat, or the remains that are preserved from it, it is possible to ask multiple questions related to its temporality, functionality, spatial origin, sinking, identity, among many others. These must consider the dynamic nature of archaeological contexts which, far from being static units, are exposed to many alteration factors that can drastically modify their characteristics and particularities. Thus, it is essential that studies interested in any type of heritage develop interdisciplinary approaches aimed at fully understanding the nature and dynamics of the sites; It is essential to question all the processes to which the ship was exposed, even from the moment of its construction, until its transformation into an archaeological site. In this order of ideas, this article of reflection proposes an analysis of the relationship between the various characteristic environmental elements and the materiality associated with two shipwrecks located in the Manzanillo and Bocachica channels in Cartagena de Indias, which would correspond to ships that presumably participated in the battle of 1741. In this way, the analysis of the data collected in those investigations allow to infer theoretical and methodological discussions related to the formation processes of submerged archaeological sites, with the state of conservation of the material evidence and with the identification of the shipwrecks.

    Description: Providencia y Santa Catalina han sido primordiales para la comunicación y la navegación entre los diferentes territorios del Caribe y la costa colombiana. Así, a través de los siglos, la integración de actores culturales y naturales ha contribuido a la creación de un paisaje cultural marítimo. En este sentido se diluyen los límites entre la tierra y el mar, por medio de las dinámicas sociales, políticas, religiosas, militares, bélicas, económicas, comerciales y tecnológicas que se pueden observar tanto en los sitios arqueológicos como en la actualidad. El proyecto ‘Apropiación social del paisaje cultural marítimo en Providencia y Santa Catalina: caracterización del espacio náutico desde una perspectiva histórica’ pretende comprender y caracterizar las dinámicas y elementos que hacen parte del paisaje cultural marítimo de las islas a partir del análisis de diferentes fuentes de información de manera interdisciplinar (arqueología, antropología, historia, hidrografía). Sin embargo, este artículo busca enfatizar en una caracterización arqueológica no intrusiva de sitios arqueológicos que permiten comprender las dinámicas de movilidad, producción y defensa de las islas como elementos que contribuyen a la configuración del paisaje cultural marítimo.
    Description: Providencia and Santa Catalina have been essential for communication and navigation between the different territories of the Caribbean and the Colombian coast. Thus, through the centuries the integration of cultural and natural actors has contributed to the creation of a Maritime Cultural Landscape. In this sense, the boundaries between land and sea are diluted through social, political, religious, military, war, economic, commercial and technological dynamics that can be observed both in archaeological sites and nowadays. The project "Social Appropriation of the Maritime Cultural Landscape in Providencia and Santa Catalina: Characterization of the Nautical Space from a Historical Perspective" aims to understand and characterize the dynamics and elements that are part of the Maritime Cultural Landscape of the islands from the analysis of different sources of information in an interdisciplinary way (archeology, anthropology, history, hydrography). However, this article seeks to emphasize a non- intrusive archaeological characterization of archaeological sites that allow understanding the dynamics of mobility, production, and defense of the islands as elements that contribute to the configuration of the Maritime Cultural Landscape.

    Description: A recent hypothesis has suggested that Earth’s inner core nucleated during the Mesoproterozoic, as evidenced by a rapid increase in the paleointensity (ancient geomagnetic field intensity) record; however, paleointensity data during the Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic period are limited. To address this problem, we have determined paleointensity from samples from three Paleoproterozoic Avanavero mafic sills (Amazonian Craton, Brazil): Cotingo, 1,782 Ma, Puiu a, 1,788 Ma, and Pedra Preta, 1,795 Ma. We adopted a multiprotocol approach for paleointensity estimates combining Thellier-type IZZI and LTDIZZI methods, and the nonheating Preisach protocol. We obtained an average VDM value of 1.36 +/- 0.7 x 10^22Am2 (Cotingo) of 2.0+/-60.4 x 10^22Am2 (Puiua) and 66+/-4 x 10^22Am2 (Pedra Preta); it is argued that the Cotingo estimate is the most robust. Our results are the first data from the upper Paleoproterozoic for South America and are comparable to data available from other regions and similar periods. The new data do not invalidate the hypothesis of that Earth’s inner core nucleated during the Mesoproterozoic.

    Description: 〈jats:p〉Consumer regulation of lipid composition during assimilation of dietary items is related to their ecology, habitat, and life cycle, and may lead to extra energetic costs associated with the conversion of dietary material into the fatty acids (FAs) necessary to meet metabolic requirements. For example, lipid-rich copepods from temperate and polar latitudes must convert assimilated dietary FAs into wax esters, an efficient type of energy storage which enables them to cope with seasonal food shortages and buoyancy requirements. Lipid-poor copepods, however, tend to not be as constrained by food availability as their lipid-rich counterparts and, thus, should have no need for modifying dietary FAs. Our objective was to test the assumption that 〈jats:italic〉Temora longicornis〈/jats:italic〉, a proxy species for lipid-poor copepods, does not regulate its lipid composition. Isotopically-enriched (〈jats:sup〉13〈/jats:sup〉C) diatoms were fed to copepods during a 5-day laboratory experiment. Compound-specific stable isotope analysis of algae and copepod samples was performed in order to calculate dietary FA assimilation, turnover, and assimilation efficiency into copepod FAs. Approximately 65% of the total dietary lipid carbon (C) assimilated (913 ± 68 ng C ind〈jats:sup〉-1〈/jats:sup〉 at the end of the experiment) was recorded as polyunsaturated FAs, with 20 and 15% recorded as saturated and monounsaturated FAs, respectively. As expected, 〈jats:italic〉T. longicornis〈/jats:italic〉 assimilated dietary FAs in an unregulated, non-homeostatic manner, as evidenced by the changes in its FA profile, which became more similar to that of their diet. Copepods assimilated 11% of the total dietary C (or 40% of the dietary lipid C) ingested in the first two days of the experiment. In addition, 34% of their somatic growth (in C) after two days was due to the assimilation of dietary C in FAs. Global warming may lead to increased proportions of smaller copepods in the oceans, and to a lower availability of algae-produced essential FAs. In order for changes in the energy transfer in marine food webs to be better understood, it is important that future investigations assess a broader range of diets as well as lipid-poor zooplankton from oceanographic areas throughout the world’s oceans.〈/jats:p〉

    Description: The industrial advance of Europe between the 19th and 20th centuries resulted in major environmental impacts. Among these impacts, the deposition of acid compounds through acid rain stands out, and this phenomenon led to the acidification of water bodies. However, from the 1980s on, with the application of stricter environmental regulations, a gradual recovery of abiotic parameters began, including pH values, which began to return to less acidic ranges. Thus, we investigated the responses of the benthic community to the gradual recovery of abiotic variables after years of intense acidification, analyzing changes in community structure and, specifically, variations in beta diversity. The study was developed with data from streams in Wales, collected and provided by two research projects that monitor the region's water bodies. The streams were classified according to abiotic characteristics and the surrounding vegetation (Acid Forest, Acid Moorland and Circumneutral Moorland). In the first approach, the community of 69 streams was analyzed, testing whether (i) the composition of macroinvertebrate communities differed among the types of environments and years analyzed; and whether (ii) in early years beta diversity among streams was lower than in more recent years, as well as in streams of a more acidic category. Samples were collected in 1984, 1995, and 2012, with the earliest year under the greatest influence of acidification. A segregation in macroinvertebrate composition was observed between 1984 and the other years, and this difference in community composition between the years suggests that environmental recovery with rising pH values, allowed the entry and establishment of new macroinvertebrate species in the streams. The lowest beta diversity value was also observed in 1984, indicating biotic homogenization in this period and an increase in community dissimilarity over time. In the second approach, we investigated the hypothesis that a gradual increase in temporal beta diversity (TBI) values occurs over time. This was done by sampling eight streams in Wales over the period 1985 to 2018, and comparing beta diversity between the reference year 1985 with all other years. There was an increase in TBI values over the years for all environments, showing evidence of biological recovery concomitant with restoration of abiotic values. The results contributed to the understanding that the biotic community also responds to environmental recovery, and there are different ways to evaluate this process, such as beta diversity. The importance of long-term research is emphasized so that such changes can be monitored.
    Description: O avanço industrial da Europa entre os séculos XIX e XX resultou em grandes impactos ambientais. Dentre esses impactos, destaca-se a deposição de compostos ácidos através da chuva ácida, e tal fenômeno levou à acidificação de corpos d’água. Contudo, a partir da década de 1980, com a aplicação de normas ambientais mais rígidas, teve início uma recuperação gradual dos parâmetros abióticos, incluindo os valores de pH, que começaram a retornar para faixas menos ácidas. Investigou-se as respostas da comunidade bentônica diante da recuperação gradual das variáveis abióticas após anos de intensa acidificação, analisando mudanças na estrutura da comunidade e, especificamente, as variações da diversidade beta. Os estudos foram desenvolvidos com dados de riachos do País de Gales, coletados e cedidos por dois projetos de pesquisas galeses que monitoram os corpos aquáticos da região, sendo os riachos classificados de acordo com as características abióticas e da vegetação do entorno (Acid Forest, Acid Moorland e Circumneutral Moorland). Na primeira abordagem, analisou-se a comunidade de 69 riachos, testando se (i) a composição das comunidades difere entre os tipos de ambientes e anos analisados; e se (ii) nos anos iniciais a diversidade beta entre os riachos foi menor do que nos anos mais recentes, assim como nos riachos de uma categoria mais ácida. As amostras foram coletadas em 1984, 1995 e 2012, sendo o ano mais antigo sob maior influência da acidificação. Observou-se uma segregação na composição da biota entre 1984 e os demais anos, e essa diferença na composição da comunidade entre os anos sugere que a recuperação ambiental com ascensão nos valores de pH, permitiu a entrada e estabelecimento de novas espécies de macroinvertebrados nos riachos. O menor valor de diversidade beta também foi observado em 1984, indicando homogeneização biótica neste período e aumento da dissimilaridade das comunidades com o tempo. Na segunda abordagem, investigou-se a hipótese de que ocorre um aumento gradativo nos valores de diversidade beta temporal (TBI) ao longo do tempo. Para tanto, foram amostrados oito riachos no País de Gales no período entre 1985 e 2018, e comparado a diversidade beta dos riachos entre o ano referência 1985 com todos os demais anos. Houve um aumento dos valores de TBI ao longo dos anos para todos ambientes, mostrando indícios de recuperação biológica concomitante com o restabelecimento dos valores abióticos. Os resultados contribuíram para o entendimento de que a comunidade biótica também responde à recuperação ambiental. Sendo a diversidade beta uma das formas de se avaliar tal processo. E ressalta-se a importância de pesquisas de longa duração para que tais respostas bióticas possam ser monitoradas.
