Morphology of Guard Hairs in Amazonian Marsupials: Intergeneric Variation, Habitat and Habit Association in a Phylogenetic Framework of the Order Didelphimorphia

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cuticle and medulla of guard hairs exhibit distinct morphological patterns among mammalian species. To investigate this variability in marsupials from the Brazilian Amazon, we analysed guard hairs from nine Didelphimorphia species and incorporated data from an additional 25 didelphid species.

Phytosociology of Ecological Transition Ecosystems in Anauá National Forest, Roraima State, Brazil

open access: yesEcologies
The northern Brazilian Amazon has ecological transition ecosystems with high diversity and endemism of tree species and few botanical collections. We evaluated the phytosociology between Dense Ombrophilous Forest (Ds) and Forested Campinarana (Ld) within

Geometric Morphometrics Reveal Body Shape Variation in Freshwater Shrimps of the Genus Macrobrachium Lacking a Mandibular Palp (Formerly Pseudopalaemon Sollaud, 1911) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape variation in the cephalothorax of Macrobrachium species without mandibular palp using geometric morphometrics was used as a tool to support species differentiation and propose new diagnostic characters for taxonomic identification.

From Inaction to Action: The Cognitive Liberation of Amazon Workers in North Carolina

open access: yesBritish Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the mechanism by which workers move from inaction to collective action, focusing on cognitive liberation, the awareness that change is possible, as it unfolded among workers at an Amazon warehouse in North Carolina who contributed to the emergence of an independent, worker‐led union during a period of renewed growth in organising ...

Prevalence and Pattern of Refractive Errors Among Yanomami Indigenous People in the Brazilian Amazon: A Cross‐Sectional Observational Study

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Refractive errors are the leading cause of preventable visual impairment worldwide, yet data from isolated Indigenous populations remain virtually absent from the global literature. The Yanomami, one of the largest Indigenous peoples in the Americas with recent and limited contact with non‐Indigenous society, have no prior ...

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

Living with diabetes in the Brazilian Amazon: Exploring barriers and supports for healthy lifestyle practices

open access: yesDiabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To investigate the barriers and facilitators to adopting healthy lifestyle habits among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Brazilian Amazon, using the Environmental Factors domain of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a conceptual framework.

Distribution models of polysphinctine parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) reveal sampling bias and flag potentially overlooked host interactions

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We quantified the geographical overlap between parasitoid wasps and their known host spiders. We could assess which parasitoid species have more limited information about their interactions and are subject to geographical survey bias. We generated sampling bias maps to assist other researchers in identifying where the main sampling gaps are.
