ABSTRACT Freshwater habitats face significant human disturbances globally, impacting food security and ecosystems. Protected areas can mitigate biodiversity loss, but limited data on population connectivity hinders conservation management. This study examines pirarucu (Arapaima gigas), a heavily exploited and threatened Amazonian fish, using genomic ...

Beyond Core‐Periphery: A Multidimensional Typology of Brazilian Regional Inventive Capacity
ABSTRACT The geography of invention in Brazil is characterized by a profound and multi‐polarised structure that extends beyond a simple core‐periphery dichotomy. This paper demonstrates this complexity through a multidimensional analysis of inventive capacity (2000–2023), operationalised along four axes—‘how much’, ‘who’, ‘how’, and ‘what’ is invented ...

Copaiba Oil–Resin Reduces the Alveolar Bone Damage Triggered by Apical Periodontitis in Rats
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to investigate the effects of copaiba oil–resin on induced apical periodontitis in rats. Methodology A total of 24 male Wistar rats were divided equally into three groups (eight animals each): control (C), apical periodontitis (AP) and apical periodontitis with copaiba administration (AP + COP).

Wibana: How Bobonaza Runa and Forest Animals Know and Live With Each Other
ABSTRACT Runa women living along the Bobonaza river in the Ecuadorian Amazon raise captured forest animals, in a practice called wibana. Runa women are attentive to the particular ways the wiba (raised) animals interface with the world, and learn the wibas’ communicative repertoires and are able to “read” what wibas sense in the forest, including ...

Regions of Climatic Stability for Neotropical Primates
Spatial distribution of climatic stability, endemism, and model uncertainty for Neotropical primates. The left panel depicts projected climatic stability (warm colours = higher proportion of species with persistent climatic suitability; cool colours = lower stability). The upper‐right panel shows endemism (warm colours = higher concentration of endemic
