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 ...

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Haboobs on Slopes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract The impacts of topographic slope on daytime haboob propagation speeds and dust lofting are examined along with how these impacts are modulated by surface roughness length. A suite of 20 idealized, large‐eddy simulations are run with varied linear topographic slopes and surface roughness lengths. It is found that on flat ground, greater surface

Endemic Vascular Epiphytes: Integrating Protected Areas and Suitability Models in the Amazon Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study aimed to identify the number of vascular epiphytes endemic to the Amazon rainforest and to estimate the distribution of 15 of these species using species distribution modeling (SDM). In addition, the work examined the potential occurrence of these epiphytes inside and outside protected areas (PAs) in the Amazon, with a view to predicting ...

Future Drought‐Induced Tree Mortality Risk in Amazon Rainforest

Earth's Future
The future evolution of the Amazon rainforest remains uncertain not only due to uncertain climate projections, but also owing to the intricate balance between tree growth and mortality.

Diversity of Social Hymenoptera (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) and Reduction of Sampling Effort in a Dense “terra-firme” Rainforest in the Amazon

Sociobiology
We investigated the richness and composition of social Hymenoptera collected with a Malaise trap in a rainforest in the Amazon. In addition, we studied the possibility of reducing the number of traps and the time the traps remain in the field to ...
