TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the type III isoform of the InsP3R plays a special role in induction of apoptosis by preferentially transmitting Ca2+ signals into mitochondria.

TL;DR: In this article, a statistical analysis was conducted to determine if different levels of environmental enforcement between two groups of municipalities had any impact on the recent reduction of deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon, and the analysis showed that these targeted, heightened enforcement efforts avoided as much as 10,653 km2 of deforestation, which translates into 1.44 × 10-1 Pg C in avoided emissions for the 3 y period.

TL;DR: It is found that deforestation in 70-km buffer zones around mines has led to an estimated 9% of Brazilian Amazon deforestation since 2005, and the extent of effect could occur beyond areas of land explicitly permitted for mining.
Abstract: Mining poses significant and potentially underestimated risks to tropical forests worldwide. In Brazil’s Amazon, mining drives deforestation far beyond operational lease boundaries, yet the full extent of these impacts is unknown and thus neglected in environmental licensing. Here we quantify mining-induced deforestation and investigate the aspects of mining operations, which most likely contribute. We find mining significantly increased Amazon forest loss up to 70 km beyond mining lease boundaries, causing 11,670 km2 of deforestation between 2005 and 2015. This extent represents 9% of all Amazon forest loss during this time and 12 times more deforestation than occurred within mining leases alone. Pathways leading to such impacts include mining infrastructure establishment, urban expansion to support a growing workforce, and development of mineral commodity supply chains. Mining-induced deforestation is not unique to Brazil; to mitigate adverse impacts of mining and conserve tropical forests globally, environmental assessments and licensing must considered both on- and off-lease sources of deforestation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution oxygen isotopic record of cave calcite from Caverna Botuvera (27°13′S, 49°09′W), southern Brazil, which covers most of the last 36 thousand years (ka), with an average resolution of a few to several decades was determined with 46 U/Th ages from two stalagmites.
