Does the Lack of Botanical Collections Affect the Knowledge and Conservation of Clusia L. (Clusiaceae) in the State of Amazonas, Brazil?

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Gaps in botanical collecting efforts limit our understanding of plant diversity and conservation, especially in megadiverse and poorly sampled regions like the Amazon. Using Clusia L., a species‐rich genus in the Amazon, as a model, this study evaluates how collecting deficits affect knowledge and species richness in Amazonas state, Brazil. We

Floodplain forests drive fruit-eating fish diversity at the Amazon Basin-scale [PDF]

open access: yes
Unlike most rivers globally, nearly all lowland Amazonian rivers have unregulated flow, supporting seasonally flooded floodplain forests. Floodplain forests harbor a unique tree species assemblage adapted to flooding and specialized fauna, including ...

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Between Borderisation and Multi/Transterritoriality: Dilemmas of Decolonising Territory in Abya Yala/Afro/Latin America

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This article addresses the issue of territory in Abya Yala/Afro/Latin America from a decolonial perspective and through the links and contradictions between the processes we call borderisation and multi or trans‐territorialisation, emphasising, in this case, the multiplicity of territory as an instrument of struggle and re‐existence, where ...

Remote Sensing for Operational Surveillance of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Remote sensing observations have demonstrated increasing value in identifying human risk from mosquito‐borne diseases because mosquito ecology is intrinsically tied to geophysical variables measurable by satellites. Satellite‐based monitoring of environmental conditions at varying temporal and spatial scales has extended our capacity for ...

Comparing Aggradation, Superelevation, and Avulsion Frequency of Submarine and Fluvial Channels

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Constraining the avulsion dynamics of rivers and submarine channels is essential for predicting the distribution of sediment, organic matter, and pollutants in alluvial, deltaic, and submarine settings.
