Interdependencies between Indigenous peoples, local communities, and freshwater systems in a changing Amazon. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Globally, Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPs and LCs) are fighting for the recognition of their knowledge and decision‐making authority in freshwater conservation. In the Amazon, decision‐making around freshwater management and conservation has often overlooked Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) and the connections between ...

Temporal patterns of visitation of birds and mammals at mineral licks in the Peruvian Amazon. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Many species of animals in the Amazon visit mineral licks, consuming soil to supplement their diet. Using camera trap data, we show that visits to mineral licks are seasonal for many species. These trends in visitation are likely due to species‐specific factors such as reproduction, predator avoidance, seasonal diet shifts, and resource use.

Insights From a New 1-ha Permanent Forest Plot Reveal Differences Between Habitat Type and Similarities Between Forest Type in the Southwestern Amazon. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSouthwestern Amazon forests are highly diverse, but information on how tree diversity and composition changes between habitat and forest types remains scarce. We conducted floristic analyses to investigate these changes across a precipitation gradient, between habitat types, and between disturbed and old‐growth forest.

Spatial and temporal variability of soil N2 O and CH4 fluxes along a degradation gradient in a palm swamp peat forest in the Peruvian Amazon. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2020 Over 3 years of monitoring, Peruvian Amazon Mauritia flexuosa palm swamp peatlands showed significant N2O emissions and large CH4 emissions, the later exhibiting an exponential rise with increased precipitation. Their degradation, which results from cutting whole palms for fruit extraction, induced microscale (hummock and hollow of live and cut palms ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 247-259, March 2021., 2021 Over 15 000 insects (18 orders) were captured across three lamp types emitting different spectra of light in a Peruvian Amazon forest previously naïve to artificial illumination. White 3000 K LED lamps attracted far more insects (morphospecies and individuals), including groups containing important disease vectors, than yellow and amber‐filtered 3000 K

Mauritia flexuosa Presents In Vitro and In Vivo Antiplatelet and Antithrombotic Activities. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2013 Fruit from the palm Mauritia flexuosa is one of the most important species in Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, and Guyana. The present study aimed to investigate the antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities of oil extracted from Mauritia flexuosa. The fatty acid contents were determined by gas chromatography—mass spectrometry.
