Unilateral Action on Climate Change and the Moral Obligation to Take Leadership
Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We claim that a moral obligation to take climate leadership by means of unilateral mitigation depends on the existence of a plausible follow‐the‐leader mechanism whereby unilateral mitigation by some increases the probability of sufficient mitigation by others to avert catastrophic climate impacts.

The importance of forest structure for carbon fluxes of the Amazon rainforest
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Precise descriptions of forest productivity, biomass, and structure are essential for understanding ecosystem responses to climatic and anthropogenic changes. However, relations between these components are complex, in particular for tropical forests. We

Small understory trees increase growth following sustained drought in the Amazon
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Droughts pose a major threat to the Amazon rainforest, yet the mechanisms enabling trees to maintain growth under prolonged drought remain poorly understood, particularly in the understory layer. We leveraged a 22‐yr Throughfall Exclusion (TFE) in a 1‐ha plot in eastern Amazonia, paired with a Control plot, to test whether small understory ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Black pod disease, caused by a complex of Phytophthora species, poses a severe threat to global cacao production. This study explores the use of CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing to reduce disease susceptibility in Theobroma cacao L. by targeting the TcNPR3 gene, a known negative regulator of plant defence.

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the present study, we examined the impact of the net effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on biodiversity and ecological footprint productivity in 21 Latin American countries over a 32‐year period from 1990 to 2022. Additionally, we propose the hypothesis of ecological transition (ETH), which conceptualizes the asymmetric impact on ...

Review of river fisheries valuation in Central and South America [PDF]
, 2008 Unlike Africa and Asia, where a large part of the population are heavily dependent upon fishing for their livelihoods, fishing for a living in the interior of Central and South America (CSA) remains a marginal occupation for all but the most isolated of ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...
