On the botanical history and nomenclature of the New World genus Piscidia (Fabaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Piscidia L. (Fabaceae) is a New World genus with nine recognized taxa (seven species and two varieties). The previous nomenclatural revisions, made in 1910 and in 1969, are revisited here. The names Derris grandifolia Heyde & Lux ex Donn.Sm. and P. cubensis Urb. required step II lectotypifications, with an epitype for the latter name.

Extreme Weather Events and Agricultural Total Factor Productivity Growth

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity of the agricultural sector is crucial for food security in a changing climate. This study estimates the impacts of extreme weather events on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of climate change on agriculture.

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Reassessing sixteenth and seventeenth century written accounts of hurricanes in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea

Weather, EarlyView.
Abstract While the North Atlantic’s five‐century hurricane history is among the most complete globally, the earliest centuries are poorly documented in the written record. This study reassesses a subset of sixteenth to seventeenth‐century tropical cyclones (TCs) through a systematic review of archival evidence, mainly from Spain’s colonial archive, the

Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.
