National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Genetic structuring in a Neotropical palm analyzed through an Andean orogenesis‐scenario

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Andean orogenesis has driven the development of very high plant diversity in the Neotropics through its impact on landscape evolution and climate. The analysis of the intraspecific patterns of genetic structure in plants would permit inferring the ...

Systematics of Marmosa Subgenus Micoureus With Emphasis in ‘rapposa’ Group (Didelphidae, Marmosini): Geographic Variation and Revalidation of M. budini

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micoureus is the most species‐rich subgenus within the genus Marmosa. Conflicting arrangements regarding the number of species comprising this subgenus have been proposed and the validity of M. budini has been debated. Here, we used an approach integrating genetic and morphological data were conducted to reanalyze the ‘rapposa’ group ...

Deforestation Impacts on Orographic Precipitation in the Tropical Andes

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
This study examines the implications of Tropical Montane Forests (TMFs) loss on orographic precipitation in the Eastern slopes of the Andes (EADS). The focus is on moist processes for synoptic regimes associated with significant EADS precipitation: (1 ...

Thinking of Melastomataceae: Revisiting Humboldt and Bonpland's Monographie des Melastomacées (1806–1823) from a historical perspective

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract During their voyage to the Americas (1799–1804), Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland described and collected American flora, fauna, minerals and other objects. After returning to Europe, they published several works, including Monographie des Melastomacées, initiated by Bonpland to classify this complex botanical family.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Threatened fish spawning area revealed by specific metabarcoding identification of eggs and larvae in the Beni River, upper Amazon

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Identifying fish spawning areas is of great ecological and conservation importance as fishes are suffering increasing threat levels from anthropogenic activities. However, to date very few studies have done so in the Amazon basin.

Holocene environmental changes in the highlands of the southern Peruvian Andes (14° S) and their impact on pre-Columbian cultures [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2015
High-altitude peatlands of the Andes still remain relatively unexploited although they offer an excellent opportunity for well-dated palaeoenvironmental records.

Diverse Early Life-History Strategies in Migratory Amazonian Catfish: Implications for Conservation and Management.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Animal migrations provide important ecological functions and can allow for increased biodiversity through habitat and niche diversification. However, aquatic migrations in general, and those of the world's largest fish in particular, are imperiled ...

Natural Climate Solutions, Indigenous Peoples, Mestizos, and the Legacies of Conflict Over Land in the Ecuadorian Amazon

Rural Sociology, Volume 91, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the past two decades as global alarm over disruptive climate change has grown, coalitions of high‐ranking government officials and prominent activists have launched campaigns to protect and restore greenhouse gas absorbing rain forests. The initial results from these campaigns have varied dramatically across racial and ethnic landholding ...
