Double mutualism: Dual rewards or redundancy? Insights from the interactions between mistletoes and their avian partners

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Mistletoes, recognized as keystone species, supply diverse floral and fruit resources for birds, thereby facilitating mutualistic interactions in pollination and seed dispersal. Some avian species are “double mutualists,” engaging in both functions. However, their precise roles and effectiveness as mutualists remain inadequately understood. In

Gonolobus in the spotlight: History, diversity, and citizen science

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Gonolobus (Apocynaceae) is a distinctive genus of climbing plants, distributed from the southern United States to Argentina. This study presents a comprehensive, integrative analysis of the genus, synthesizing its intricate taxonomic history, biogeographic patterns, and the contribution of citizen science to its modern systematics. We compiled

Wari Lithic Technology on the Northern Coast of the Andes: Geochemical, 2D Geometric Morphometric, and Technological Analyses of Obsidian Bifaces From San José de Moro

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 994-1008, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines Wari obsidian production in a cache of 39 bifaces found at the Late Moche site of San José de Moro (Jequetepeque Valley, North Coast of Peru, 700–850 ad). Portable X‐ray fluorescence, geometric morphometric, and technological analyses were used to investigate raw material provenance and bifacial production.

Did Eve Emerge From Evo's Rib? Gendered Complexities Over the Period of MAS Rule in Bolivia

open access: yesBulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The MAS governments in Bolivia (2006–2019) sought to overturn neoliberalism through a decolonial and post‐neoliberal political project informed by indigenous movements, feminist thought, and social movement participation. However, feminist activists and scholars soon argued that MAS discourse and policy increasingly essentialised gender and ...

A Time‐Calibrated Phylogeny and Historical Biogeography of Leptoceridae (Trichoptera): Diversification Shaped by Gondwanan Fragmentation and Conflicting Evidence for the Family's Origin

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Leptoceridae is the second most diverse caddisfly family, spreading across all biogeographical regions but with a higher species richness in the Oriental region; nevertheless, the Afrotropical, Austral and Neotropical regions have greater genera diversity and endemicity.

Description and terrestrial ages of the Calama Area Meteorite Collection (Atacama Desert, Chile)

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2415-2430, October 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive study of a meteorite collection from the Atacama Desert (Chile), the driest and most climatically stable desert in the world. This collection includes meteorites from three adjacent Dense Collection Areas (DCAs) in the northern part of the Atacama Desert: Calama, Sierra Gorda, and Chug Chug, referred to as the ...

Host and Environmental Factors Outweigh Pathogen in Shaping Skin Microbiome of a Threatened Andean Amphibian Community

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has driven severe amphibian declines across the Neotropics, yet some species persist under enzootic pathogen conditions following epizootics. We investigated whether skin bacterial communities and host mucosome activity contributed to the persistence of seven amphibian species in a once ...

Effect of chronic high‐altitude hypoxia on retinal vascular phenotype, choroidal and retinal vasoreactivity in Peruvian highlanders

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 10, Page 4814-4826, 1 October 2026.
Abstract High‐altitude chronic hypoxia can induce excessive erythrocytosis (EE, defined as a haemoglobin concentration of ≥21 g/dL in men), leading to hyperviscosity and promoting endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to assess whether EE affects the retinal vascular phenotype and the ophthalmological vascular response to CO2.
