In addition to the possibility of microorganism transmission to these hosts, ticks can also cause severe bleeding, and high parasitism can lead to death. Therefore, knowing the diversity of ticks parasitizing amphibians and reptiles is important for conservation and preservation measures for these vertebrates.

- * The research was conducted in the Balsas sub-basin, using models to predict soybean expansion and sediment movement, revealing that erosion increases where natural areas convert to soybean fields.
- * The findings suggest that if agricultural activities stay clear of rivers, the negative impact on sediment loads in local rivers from Cerrado conversion can be minimized, as sediments mostly accumulate in the conversion areas.
